20.7 - Shorter is Sweeter - Sarah E's Task: The Chocolate Game

A party game for all chocoholics, the chocolate game involves all the best bits of a party game: speed, dice, dressing up, and chocolate.

Read one book for one of the following options.
Required: State the option

Option 1: Roll a Six

The players sit in a big circle, in the middle of which is a large bar of chocolate (still in it's wrapper), and a selection of dressing up clothes. They take it in turns to roll a dice - when a six comes up, it's your turn.

Read a book which is #6 in a series. The series must be evident in greyscale on the GR book page.

Option 2: Get Dressed Up

Usually there will be at least a hat, scarf, and gloves to put on before you can begin on the chocolate, but there may be as many items as you like.

Read a book with a person wearing at least one of a hat, scarf, or glove(s) on the cover. One glove will work, it doesn't have to be a pair, but all items must be being worn by a person.

Required: Post the cover

Option 3: Chocolate Time

Once dressed up, you can now try to eat as much of the chocolate as you can - with a knife and fork - no fingers allowed! You only have until the next player rolls a six, so you may not actually manage to eat anything before having to remove the hat, scarf, gloves, etc. for the next player's turn.

Read a book by a single author whose first and last initials can be found in CHOCOLATE.

Robin P | 1610 comments It doesn't say that the hat, gloves or scarf have to be the winter kind. So does something like this work? A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Mayhem (Ladies Most Scandalous, #1) by Manda Collins - he has a hat & gloves or A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder (Countess of Harleigh Mystery, #1) by Dianne Freeman - she has dress gloves

They both work. There's no requirement for the woolly winter kind of hats, scarves, or gloves.

Great, thanks! I was surprised at the Christmas romance books I have where people on the cover are out in the snow with no hat, scarf or gloves!

I didn't exclude silhouettes, and enlarging the cover makes it clear that that is a top hat being worn. Approved.

That is hard to pick out, but yes, with a lot of enlarging, I do see a man with a hat on in the top left. Approved.
