10.9 - Three of a Kind?

more than 3:
Mod
Seeking approval for these two options (I wasn't sure whether a face is enough, or a silhouette):
Thank you!
Mod
Thank you!"
yes, both will work
Mod
"yep, two people and a dog = 3 living beings.
Please check this for me. GR blows it up nicely, but my eyesight isn't what it used to be and I'd prefer to have someone else look at it, too. In case there's something hiding in those shadows. :)
Thanks!
Would this cover qualify? There are three people, but two of them are only partially visible.
Mod
I went to Amazon and blew it up to a ginormous size, and still couldn't tell if one of the suspicious looking shadows was a living creature! So, I'm calling this one good - I think we could make ourselves nuts with the Rorschach test of those shadows!
Be sure and note in your post that it was approved in the HT so that Dlmrose doesn't have to go through the same process.
Mod
"yes, there are enough body parts to identify three people!

I like the idea of a book cover Rorschach test: "Look closely at this cover. Do you see an animal? An ice cream cone? Very suspicious..." lol
Mod
."
sounds like a task that could drive the participants AND the mods crazy, LOL!
Just wondering about this one? The man and the horse are pretty self-explanatory, but I'm just wondering if the woman in the foreground will count? Thanks!Four Weddings and a Kiss
Mod
Four Weddings and a Kiss"
yes, there's enough there to tell that it's a person.
Okay just want to be sure ... there are three people, but I think one may be a corpse (i.e. not "living")
Mod
"I'll take it, since it's not clearly a corpse (say, a body in a coffin), and the arm is enough to identify it as a person (and if it's just an arm, no person attached, I don't even want to go there.........).
do they have to be real living things? or will three fierce Nac Mac Feegles be OK?
Mod
"I'll take it as long as it's at least analogous to a real living thing, so this will work.

I might be going over-strong on the Terry Pratchett books this season. I've got 11 pencilled in so far!
but the Nac Mac Feegles rock! :)
(and Teri-k: when I realised that Unseen Academicals = SAUNA I was very happy :) )

You can never go wrong with too much Terry Pratchett.
You can never go wrong with too much Terry Pratchett. Agreed. Though I've found a few of his books I can't get into - there's always another to try or an old fave to revisit. :) And I'm happy to know that my task is enabling someone's Pratchett dependency.
I'm listening to and reading Dodger for the first time. So good!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled topic... lol
Just double checking that this will work
Thank you.
Mod
Thank you."
Looks good to me.

I haven't read that one yet...
Mod
- 3 people"and very elegantly dressed people at that!
How about this one? It's a graphic novel - 176 pages. And three people (lower left hand corner)
Mod
"since it's a 10 point task, you can use a graphic novel.
How about this?
I see a stoat/weasel, an owl and a mouse on the left (the mouse's head is under the H of Hilltop), within the bend of the tree branch
Mod

yep, I see 3 (although I had to go to amazon and blow it up really big to be sure about the mouse)!
Hi, you may have already answered this, but are cartoon versions of living things ok? I've wanted to read this book for awhile, and there are 3 things on the cover, but they are cartoon versions.
Mod
..."
The pictures are fine, but the book cover has more than 3 living things on the cover - human, zebra, monkey, tortoise...............

Mod
It's a good book. Perhaps it would work for the "mostly white cover."
a man and woman holding hands and a waiter in the background.
Mod
a man and woman holding hands and a waiter in the background."
yes that works.
Would this count? I think it's the same woman 3 times
Mod
"I'll take it - don't want Dlmrose to have to check for fingerprints or DNA samples!
Mod
Choices
There are 3 bodies but no faces!"
yeah, you can tell it's 3 living beings, even if they are headless................

Thanks Sandy Just wanted to make sure!
Not sure if this would work... I see the two girls and then in the foreground to the left what appears to be one man at the benches. It's admittedly blurry but maybe I can get the book and see if you don't agree?
Mod
I went to Amazon and blew the cover up to HUGE, and it does seem like a man standing by the benches. Be sure to note this in your completed task post, so Dlmrose doesn't have to rethink it.
I think this is one woman and two doves. Can you confirm?

The number three is significant in many mythologies and religions. Read a book that has exactly 3 living beings (mammal, bird, fish, reptile - no trees, flowers, etc.) on the cover. You can mix and match - 3 people; 2 people and a dog; a cow, a cat and a cobra............
REQUIRED: Include the cover in your post.
