20.5. Bigger is Better: Masanobu's Task - A Game of Books

[Debra]

Would A Game of Thrones count for option 5 as a family saga?

Red Sorghum - the genre does not specify family saga but part of blurb states "From 1923 to 1976 three gen..."

No, it isn't necessary that 'family saga' appears as a genre.

Red Sorghum sounds like it works, just be sure to say it was accepted in the task help thread when you post. ;)

Not all of them work. Some of them have other colors beside black and yellow taking up a significant portion of the cover.

The one you have posted as example works, because the pentagram looks golden-colored.

Does it make sense?

[Lindsey]

Yep! I will most likely be reading that one, but I will be sure to ask if I read a different one instead. Thank you!!

No, sorry, it doesn't work. A Game of Thrones doesn't follow generations of a family (or in this case, families), and it all happens during just one year, so it is not a significant period of history, either.

I hope you find another task for that book!

[Debra]

What about The Bleeding Season for a red and blue cover?

[Anne (Booklady)]

I rolled a 1 and 6.
For Book 1: 1. Black and Gold Cover
Would work?
The box is Gold.

[Riya]

Hi! I just wanted to make sure that the following book will work for this challenge. I rolled a 4. This books has a red &black cover.

Yes, it works :)

Yes, it works :)

Debra wrote: "What about The Bleeding Season for a red and blue cover?"

This has been a tough one. I've finally decided that it doesn't work, because of the amount of brown taking up the bottom half of the cover. However, if you can't find a better option, I could let you use it. Please come back to tell me first!

Ok, I'll see if I can come up with something better.

Thank you so much!

will this work for black and gold

Yes, it works :)

[Stacie]

I am considering for a block and gold cover. Will it work?

[N.]

Will The Hunger Games work for a black and gold cover?

[RedSycamore]

How about Finding George Orwell in Burma for a blue and white cover:

OK, I'll take it.

Sure! :)

There's too little white in it. Could you find something else? If not, I could let you use it, but please come back to tell me first!

This is probably my favorite task SRC have ever had. I love game of thrones so much!

[Jodi]

How about for red and gold/yellow cover?

[Bluemoon]

I need some clarification for the mods. I rolled a 5 and read The Maid for a person in the army. It is about Joan of Arc and most of it is about her leading her army in France. Does this work or does it have to be US army?

Thanks.

Wow, thank you! :)

Tracy wrote: "Tracy wrote: "For Tully ( red and blue)would these count? or""

Flowers for Algernon is perfect.
I'm not so sure about The House on Mango Street - is the title orange or reddish?

[M]

Jodi wrote: "How about for red and gold/yellow cover?"

Sure, it works! :)

It works. I meant any army, not just the US Army. I hadn't even realized that could be a possible interpretation.

Also, I've already commented on the Completed Tasks with Problems thread.

Thanks!!

Does this work for red and black? The background is black, words are red, but some are white.

It works. Red and black are the colors that stand out the most. :)

Just remember to say it was approved in the task help thread.

[Sassafrass]

Is this red/yellow enough?

[M]

Yes, it is. Also, the synopsis fits the Lannisters like a glove! :)

[Sassafrass]

Great, thanks!!

Ummmmm... The letters are orange, the background is more reddish, but my other pick works...Thanks for taking the time to look :-)

[Coco Kimura]

Hello. Would Game of Thrones be enough gold/yellow and black for option #1?

[Chris]

OK, I think I have my picks worked out for this task:

2. Mystery


3. Blue cover


5. Favorite genre - Young Adult


I may swap Maniac Magee out for .

Does that work?

I am not entirely sure of what you mean there. You just have to read ONE book for this task.

Assuming you rolled a 6, Arryn, you could read
a. A mystery: Wicked Appetite works.
OR
b. A book with a white and blue cover: doesn't work, because there is no white. works for this option, though.
OR
c. A book with the word 'moon' in the title.

I don't know what you mean by favourite genre, since that isn't an option for this task.

Sorry - I spaced out. This was supposed to be for the 50 point task. I thought I had posted it and then couldn't find it. Now I know where it went!

Now it makes sense! :) It's okay, and at least you now know the internet didn't eat your post.

I hope you enjoy the 50 point task! :)

Hi would this work for option one black/gold?

[bookcover:Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague]"

It has little gold in it, but I'm going to take it. Especially when there are just ten days left!

Be sure to say it was approved in the task help thread.

[mstan]

Hi Masanobu, for option 3, does the plural of 'wolf' ('wolves') work?

[M]

I'm sorry to say that no variations are allowed, so 'wolves' won't work. I hope you still have time to find a book for this task!

OK no problem! Thanks!
