The whole plot revolves around a coverup of a murder (or I think it's a murder) just before WWI in Germany."

yeah, that sounds like it would work. It also sounds really good.

Thanks Sass!

I rolled a five and was wondering if I could use the electrical term "live" and read How I Live Now, since they are spelled the same, despite their different meanings? Thanks!

It sounds like the group is covering something else up. I'll ok it.

I rolled a 5 and have chosen to listen to an CD audiobook: UR. There is a Kindle edition with 127 pages. Is this acceptable?

[Tani]

Would The Woman Warrior by Maxine Hong Kingston work for a 4? There seems to be some uncertainty in the reviews over whether it's autobiography or fiction.

I think that will have to get approved by the mods since there is no print version. Go to the eBook Verification- no print edition thread to get it approved for length. If it's approved for length, then I will approve it for the task!

I see what you mean, but it sounds like she uses the fiction stuff as a way to frame her experiences, so I'll take it.

[Tani]

Thanks!

If I use a Harry Potter audio book for part 5, am I allowed to claim big book tickets for it? The physical book is over 600 pages but I wasn't sure if I could claim big book tickets because this option requires an audiobook, rather than me choosing to read one.(if that makes sense!)

chuckles, I would put that in the The General Help Thread to pose that question for the mods. I'm not sure how that works, and I would say yes, but I'm not the one who you claim the credit to, so I would check with them.

I totally understand what you are saying about it though.

[Michelle]

For option 3, I know you said The Da Vinci Code was okay so I was wondering if The Lost Symbol by the same author (in the same series) would work? I'm assuming it will involve cover ups and conspiracies like the previous two books did.


And then, for option 2, is this cover brown enough
?

Thanks!

The Lost Symbol will definitely work. that cover is brown enough.

Option 4:

Option 5: ebook

The rules for eBooks and audiobooks with print equivalents are as follows: Use the page count for the mass market paperback if one exists. If there is no mass market paperback edition, use the paperback edition and if no paperback is available use the hardback edition.

So, depending on which Harry Potter you read, you should link to the audio format to show that you've met the requirements of this task AND to the mass market paperback edition for big book purposes.

[Sassafrass]

Thank you Kristi!

Sassafrass, would Voodoo Histories: The Role of the Conspiracy Theory in Shaping Modern History work for #3? It seems to be about why people believe in cover-ups and conspiracies.

I think that's fine for the non-fiction option, so I'll approve it.

[Sarah]

I rolled a 1 twice, so (just checking I got this right) Mum's the Word and The Baby Planner should both work for the 3-word title option, right?

[Sassafrass]

those work.

I'd like to check the brownness of: It's on the brown listopia list, but is it brown enough for option 2?

yep, that's fine

[Ashley FL]

Hi there! I rolled a 2 (book with brown cover). Would:


Bookplate Special by Lorna Barrett

work? It is brown on my computer screen, but I just want to double-check.

Thanks!
Ashley

[Cindie]

this looks brown to me -- does it work?

yes that's fine.

[Dee]

brown enough - or - since Year of the Cat has only been approved for a conditional task

I'll take both. :)

Wondering if Galileo's Daughter would work for 4?

Yes, that works.

[Dee]

Kazza- trying to fit your Snakes and Ladders book into SRC? lol!
