5.3. Round Here......
Since the earth is round, read a book with something round or oval on the cover. At least half of the circular object must show on the cover of the book.
REQUIRED: post a picture of the cover and point out the "round thing"

Will this work? Or does it have to be a sphere.

Looks round to me!

[Felina]

Perfect. Thanks!!

Will this one work? The moon is in the background.

Thanks

Sure - but be sure to point it out when you post.

How about this one--- round skull eyes--- or round top of the key?

Will work? I'm not sure what it is - looks like clockwork - but the gold behind the title is round.

just fine!

Want to check a couple of these? Are we looking for a circle or as long as it is round?
(behind the title)
(ferris wheel in bottom left corner)
(hemisphere)
(apples in wheelbarrow)
(oval round backing of Washington)

If there is a face on the cover and you can see the eyes, is that OK? Scratch that - I realised you cannot see the whole of the roundness due to eyelids getting in the way ;-)

How about the dots after the author's initials J and L on this one:

[mstan]

- some kind of crystal ball or snowglobe?

[♥Meagan♥]

Is the spider web round enough or how about the umbrella?

[Christine US]

If the round thing isn't the primary focus - is that OK?

There are lots of round things on this cover (tomatoes, apples, oranges), but they aren't right up front like some of the other covers.

[Aneeqah]

Would this work? I'm thinking the necklace looks round.

We're looking for round, more than oval. So, the ferris wheel, sphere and apples are fine.

dots are fine - you can see them and they're round

the web works. While an umbrella would be round if seen from another perspective, it's not really round on this cover.

that's fine - I see a lot of circles and round things on that cover

I thought these medallions were round but now I am not sure since you ruled out oval. What do you think? Are they round enough?

Thanks!

[Foxy Grandma]

Ok, this is over simplifying and really pushing at the limits BUT..... would the letter O in a title work?
Succubus Shadows ie the O in Shadows is on the cover and it is round....

::Ducking from the flying round tomatoes being thrown at me:::

[April]

Is the moon in the back ground round enough to qualify?

All okay

[Sandy, Moderator Emeritus]

This is turning out to be one of those tasks that seemed very straightforward and simple, but, in practice, not so much!

So, I'm adding the following guidelines to make it easier for you and for DLMRose - the shape needs to be round or "roundish" - so ovals will be okay. I don't want people to need to get measuring tools to determine whether something crosses the line between a circle and an oval!

At least HALF the shape needs to show on the cover - so, for instance, the moon in post 31 and the ferris wheel in post 14 are okay, even though the complete circle doesn't show on the cover - on the other hand, a little bit of a curved line or an umbrella shown from the side view wouldn't work.

This is visual, not conceptual - look at the cover - do you see something round?

Hope this makes it easier for everyone. I'll be revising the task description to make this more clear.

Assuming it's fine, but just checking. Girl in a round orb thingy.

Oooo...I may change mine to that. Good choice Katrina.

[Midu]

Will do?

[Aleksandra]

Would work for this task?

There is a roundish looking thing in the middle. I'm just double checking to make sure that it works :)

yas, I think the pendant or whatever on her chest works for round

thank You Sandy :)

[Amanda]

Hey so I have two that I think might work, but I'm not 100% so I'd thought I'd check.



For Sweep I think it's ok because it's the moon, but it's a crescent moon so it's not a complete circle.

For Rot and Ruin I thought it would be ok because the eye is so wide you can see the entire iris.

Please let me know, thank you!

This one doesn't work because it's not round - it needs to be a circle as you're looking at it, not as it might be in another phase of the moon. Since it's the moon, it would work for 25.4, though.


this one is fine.

ooh I forgot about 25.4! that is perfect, I'll do it like that thanks!

Would (the handcuffs) be ok?

yes - don't forget to point them out when you post.

Is the red circle in the background ok?

[Marina]

Can I use the smiley face or the shirt logo as the round thing?

i'm just going to check - - it is the same girl in the orb from 34/35, but she's breaking out of it
