Nicole | 1295 comments Thanks. The colored writing was making it cast a bit blue on some screens and I wanted to be sure. My book club decided on it so I wanted to fit it in.

The Mods are SAINTS! :)

White has many hues, but the overall appearance should be white
Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) by Victoria Aveyard looks blue and white- not white looks white
The others would work as shades of white

All the Rage by Courtney Summers doesn't look to be 50% black

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Okay ... I'm confused
You've approved The Kingdom of Rarities by Eric Dinerstein and Bone Gap by Laura Ruby
But NOT Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

I'd argue that my suggestion (Eleanor and Park) is at least as white as the two you've approved.


message 81: by Bea (new)

Bea Dlmrose, I have read Eleanor & Park, and it is a white cover.

No need to be argumentative

My answer was
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell "looks much darker than white or a shade of white/cream- but it can be hard to tell on-screen
If you have the book in hand make a case for the color and I'll consider it "

Bea confirmed that it looks whiter in person- OK

Sarah (shiraloo) | 240 comments Trying again for the white. I think this is one of those white/cream concerns....it looks white to me (I have the paperback) but I never know.

The One Plus One by Jojo Moyes

If that doesn't work, what about:

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion


message 88: by Book Concierge (new)

Book Concierge (tessabookconcierge) | 4447 comments Do these work for white?
The Good Lord Bird by James McBride or The Tightrope Walkers by David Almond

Does this work for black (same book, different covers - not sure what will arrive from the library yet)
An Expert in Murder (Josephine Tey, #1) by Nicola Upson or An Expert in Murder (Josephine Tey, #1) by Nicola Upson

Thank you.
