As answered in the PM.

If anyone else is interested, the answer is in msg 2 of the Q&A thread; first up :)

Week 6

Option 1
8. Country
Read a book set in the country e.g. farm, ranch
For all the location/setting tasks, the book does not have to be solely set in that location; it simply needs at least one scene set there. The usual precise, main page, tag or list will need to be provided to show how the book qualifies.

In this case the following will work:
* the precis includes a reference to the country, ranch, farm etc
* the book is tagged/shelved with an appropriate reference to country, ranch, farm etc
* the book is set in the wilderness/remote areas
* the bookcover shows a country setting.

Please ask if you are not sure.

Does the English countryside count for country?

[minnemoo]

Would "cowboy" or "wild west" work for country?

[Kat]

Do any these covers work?




On the Fence

Failing any them




Found this list I assume would work?

Yes - both work, unless it is clear in the precis that it is a cowboy living in the big smoke :)

The first one works for the cover.

The 2nd & 3rd books are too hard to see the background on ~ too full of the cover models, so they are a 'no'.

The 4th one works as it specifically says 'english countryside' in the precis. *EDIT* not because of its cover.

The list works.

Great. Thanks!

[Sexyladi]

Would small town in Wyoming work?

Mackenzie's Mountain

'Small town' in Wyoming won't qualify.

However if you look at the other editions, there are bookcovers that will clearly make it qualify...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
Use one of them :)

[Sexyladi]

Thanks Jane😘

I just answered your question re cover qualification. I don’t go searching for other ways they may qualify if it isn’t obvious 😊

[LaurLa]

Hi Jane - will this cover qualify?




or this one



I think definitely this one by cover or precis:
"Olivia's father, Streeter, the rugged, green-eyed cattle rancher"

(also tagged country, rancher, cattle ranch...I think this is my choice!)

Definitely the second two books work. The first one is more iffy by that cover alone, however there is another cover that works, so its good too :)

Ok - I've finally made it through all the team threads and everyone seems to be on top of the game ~ a few books outstanding but that can change quickly 😉

Apologies for the delay on any comments in the threads - first half of May for me is always filled with ag shows and exhibitions, but should be back on track now.

Haha - I'll fix that up :). I sort of realised it wasn't there, but I've got a head cold and just shrugged it off...

Thanks!!

Geez - had to copy that to a word doc and then enlarge! But yes, I could see an itty bitty car. You can use that book.

Just check your links when you post, since the link you gave me above didn't work. I had to search the book...

I did click on the cover and it took me to a page that didn't recognise the book. Maybe its missing a number ~ or GR was playing up at the time?! It could've been GR's issue :)
