And for option 5?"

Yes to all.

[Sheila]

Laurie, did you skip my post 36?

[Cindy AL]

Laurie, I think you may have missed my post at #41, thanks.

[Kristina Simon]

Sheila -- The golf links should be fixed now, but Dee had the right ones anyway.

[Sheila]

Thanks Kristi.

Sheila wrote: "I was wondering what the links for the golf books are Laurie. The links given on the task don't seem to be working.

I am also seeking approval of option 3 gawdiness.

[bookcover:Feast Day Of Fool..."

All of these work for Option 3.

[Laurie]

Sheila wrote: "Laurie, did you skip my post 36?"

Yes I did and I'm sorry for that. The book you chose for Option 3 are perfect.

[Laurie]

Cindy AL wrote: "Are either of these gaudy enough?

"

Yes they are fine for Option 3.

[Sheila]

Thanks Laurie.

Isn't it fun being a task creator?

[Laurie]

Cindy AL wrote: "Laurie, I think you may have missed my post at #41, thanks."

Oops, I'm sorry about that and they're just fine.

[Cindy AL]

Sorry I got impatient Laurie. The color/object on the cover tasks are fun because they are general and can be made to fit almost all readers, but they can be challenging (read: a pain for the task creator) when you are the arbiter of color or object!

No problem at all. Don't hesitate to poke at me if I miss anything!

[Sheila]

I've found that to be SO true Cindy. I have created or co-created tasks for the last 9 or 10 SRC seasons and I have learned to try to avoid cover options. After 20 or so people ask "is this cover green enough?", it teaches me NOT to do that option next season.

I like the cover options though, but it is a pain for the creator.

[Sara ♥]

I had a cover-color task a while back. (Before the creation of the 20-point tasks, I think... Is that showing my challenge age?) It IS sort of a pain, but I liked seeing all the covers together. I was like, "If you asked someone what color the cover of your book was, they shouldn't hesitate before saying, 'yellow' or whatever color..." haha! I wasn't planning on doing any geometry to figure out what percent green a cover was!

[Vicky]

What about for Option 3? The water is a little dark but the sky is all kinds of bright!

[Laurie]

Vicky wrote: "What about for Option 3? The water is a little dark but the sky is all kinds of bright!"

It's got at least 3 colors, so it's fine.

[Ritika]

is this ok option 3?

[Laurie]

Ritika wrote: "

Yes.

[Jen]

Laurie, would you let me know if the ferris wheel mostly seen on this cover fits your expectation?

Yes, it's roumd enough

If you think it is a pain for a task creator, image the moderator....

[Sara ♥]

Haha! That's one of those things I prefer NOT to imagine... It's overwhelming even to contemplate! I don't know how you do it!!

[Kathy G.]

Our moderators are SUPER and we could not do without their hard work.

Thank you MODS!!!! :-)

[Michael]

For the King option, will Sex with Kings: 500 Years of Adultery, Power, Rivalry, and Revenge work?

[Laurie]

Yes

[Christine US]

Does this work for bright?



The pink covers most of the cover, but the blue at the bottom and the green alligator are bright as well (not to mention how starkly the white stands out in comparision)

Yes, it works fine.

[Wendy UK]

I was wondering if this is bright enough for option 3

and are the peaches round enough for option 5?

Both look just fine.

[Cassie]

Any of these work for bright cover?

[Laurie]

Judy wrote: "Would this work for Option 3- Gaudy Day?

And would the umbrella on this one work for Option 5- Circles Day?

Thanks!"

Yes to the first; no to the second (the umbrella is scalloped, not really round.)

Yes

[Stacie]

I'm thinking of doing various children's books for option 3 (because Lord knows those covers are quite colorful) and I wanted to check with you about the books I'm hoping to claim. Will these work? Are any not gaudy enough?

[Laurie]

Stacie wrote: "I'm thinking of doing various children's books for option 3 (because Lord knows those covers are quite colorful) and I wanted to check with you about the books I'm hoping to claim. Will these work?..."

Yes they all work just fine for gaudy covers ... as long as they work for page numbers you're more than all set.

[Stacie]

Thanks!
