Will these work for option 3 : ?

yes

[Sarah]

Checking on the roundness of this for option 5:
The title seems to be on top of some circular sort of symbol. Will this work?

Yes

[Sam]

Just wanted to check that this would work for option 3.

Yes.

[Kim]

For option 4, may I use 11.59?
The main character is a radio talk show host. In the GR description it mentions him as a local phone in host.
Just wanted to be sure. If you don't allow this one, do we have to choose from the link you provided for talk show hosts?
thanks

Yes, this is fine ... a fictional talk show host works for me.

Am I right in thinking that the following is brightly coloured?

Yes, perfect

[Sarah]

For option 6, would a book by an anthropologist work?

I found this Japanese Lessons: A Year in a Japanese School Through the Eyes of an American Anthropologist and Her Children by Gail R. Benjamin.

The author seems to be an anthropologist and is writing a non-fiction book about his experience of the Japanese school-system, so one could say the main character is, also, an anthropologist.

Thank you :).

Yes, this is fine.

[Sarah]

Great. Thank you!

What about an award seal that is not part of the cover, but added to the cover? The edition I read of had the round gold seal.

It's on the picture of the book, so I'm inclined to accept it.

[Candiss]

I know the task text for option 5 reads "The whole circle doesn't have to be depicted, but enough so that the circle can be seen," but I got antsy about my choice and wanted to get confirmation that it is acceptable before I try to claim points. (My concern is that in reality the object is a sphere, not a flat circle...but of course on the cover picture it is a circle.)

This works just fine.

Yeah, I know ..."

I took the task help language to read if the object itself was circular (like a cake) then the view of it wouldn't matter. But it seems like you just need to see a circle on the cover, regardless of whether it's an object, right? For example, isn't an object.

Or, in other words, won't work, even though it's pretty clearly a round wedding cake, but isn't circular when viewed from the side. Right?

Would this book work for Option 1? John Jacob Astor is bringing his wife home from Egypt and a girl who is a Lebanese refugee is immigrating to Florida.

Yes, that's right - it needs to be a seeable circle in full or in part, but not an implied one.

Could I use this for option #4, talk show host? Rachael Ray 365: No Repeats: A Year of Deliciously Different Dinners I'm not sure how or if cookbooks can be used, but I need to find some new recipes and rotate out some old stand by's so I'll be reading through a few cookbooks.

I haven't a clue how cookbook work - but as far as I'm concerned your choice is fine as long as it meets the general requirements.

[Sara ♥]

Checking on the sun on this cover for a circular object (I'm assuming it's okay, since you okay'd the moon above):

(Or the round NR symbol, even...)

Checking just in case for option 1:

[Laurie]

Skandia wrote: "Checking just in case for option 1: "

Yes this is good.

[Chaitra]

Is this enough of a circle? Impressions of 3 earths in the sky. If not, I can use something else. :)

[Laurie]

Chaitra wrote: "Is this enough of a circle? Impressions of 3 earths in the sky. If not, I can use something else. :)

Yes, the portions of the earth is round enough

[Skandia]
