25.5 - Keltie Lee's Task - CLUE

In the wintertime one of my favourite things to do is play board games with my family, and Clue has always been my favourite. Since my family hates playing Clue with me, I thought we could all play together. For this task pick two different characters and read a book for each one.

1. Miss Scarlet- A woman wearing a red dress on the cover or a book with the genre romance on its main page.

2. Mrs. White-Main character is a service person in a house (eg. Maid, Personal Chef, Nanny) or read a book where the title is printed in white ink on the cover

3. Col. Mustard- Man with a mustache on the cover or a book with its genre listed as war, including specific wars such as Civil War, WWII, etc.

4. Prof. Plum- Book with a picture of any kind of fruit on the cover or one that takes place in a school or college

5. Mr. Green- has a picture of some form of currency or a symbol meaning currency ($) on the cover or read a book categorized as mystery

6. Mrs. Peacock- has a bird (real or fictional) on the cover or the title contains a word from the http://www.color-ize.com/color-list.php as long as it is not one of the typical colour names, (in this case red, orange, yellow, pink, blue, green, purple, brown, grey, black or white). Acceptable color names can be plural or possessive, but with no other variation.
NOTE: A title that contains one of the "typical color names," in any variation, will not work for this option, even if it contains an acceptable color name.

Approved

Option 6: The Plum Tree

This thread is now open!

Does this work for option 6? The Plum Tree? Plum is not one of the common colors listed.

Yes, that works:)

Thank you!

For number 6 - Key Lime Blues: A Wes Darling Mystery - Mike Jastrzebski?

Does work for a red dress or do you want more showing?

If it just had the word lime in it, it would have been perfect. Unfortunately, it had the plural form of the word blue in it so it won't work. Sorry

I'd say enough of the dress is showing, I'll accept that:)

The Amber Heart - Catherine Czerkawska for number 6?

The Millionaire's Nanny - Carol Grace for number 2?

Both of those books work:)

Thanks x

Thanks keltie lee - I have a bunch of arcs to read and trying to fit them into different tasks

For option 2, I'm considering a book that is in ebook only (have posted for approval in the relevant thread) however am wondering if its acceptable for 'title is printed in white ink on the cover'

Sorry it took so long for a response, my computer and I were disagreeing on whether or not it should work and up until this morning it was winning...

Anyways, yes that book works fine for a title in white writing:)

Not a problem, Keltie Lee, & thanks!

Am glad you're back online :D

Great task! I love playing Clue as well!

Is this enough of a red dress for option 1?

I would accept that. I can see enough to see that it is red and I get the feeling that it is a dress:)

For option 3, is Act Of War by Dale Brown acceptable? Its genre is listed as war. It is focused on a war on terrorism.

That works just fine:)
