The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

5.3 - Euterpe
Muse Euterpe is always depicted holding a flute, often with many other musical instruments surrounding her. She was the muse of music. Read a book with an identifiable musical instrument on the cover. Ex:

These work:

These won't work:

- drumsticks without a drum won't work

This thread is now open!

Is there any way to do a search of book covers that would fit this criteria?

Would this one be okay?

The butterfly is on some sort of...flute...or recorder...or something? Okay, so I know nothing about instruments but I'm pretty sure that is one.

Would this work?
There's a mandolin on the cover.

Go to listopia page and type in musical instuments on the cover

I found one, kind of off the beaten path, but wanted to share it for others who are looking.

LOL. Yes, that works. ;-)

Yes, that works.

That would work, too.

That's a good way to do it. You can also keep checking back here as people will often do as Pat did and recommend something that works.

I've spotted this in my TBR pile - has drums on the cover:

. Twelve Drummers Drumming by C.C. Benison

Will this work?

looks that would also be a good option for task 30.3 option 4!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not too familiar with GoodReads, I keep forgetting about searching the lists. I expect I'll be more comfortable with it by the time this challenge finishes. :)

I've decided to use Twelve Drummers Drumming for this one and the next book, with a similar cover, for 30.0 option 4. I hope I end up liking the series.

Is this ok for a violin? There is a person in the archway holding a violin

Yes, it looks like a guitar. Loved that book! Enjoy.

Yes, that works. Point it out when you post, though. It's easy to overlook.

Thanks, yes I will With that title I was looking for violins so I looked HARD

- I am wanting to read this one. There are a variety of instruments showing but you do have to look a little bit closely. Is this good enough?

Nicola wrote: " - I am wanting to read this one. There are a variety of instruments showing but you do have to look a little bit closely. Is this good enough?"

Yes, there are instruments on there. They're really small, though, and easy to overlook so be sure to point them out when you post the completed task.

Thanks!"

Yes, that works.

Can I have ?

Is there enough of a violin in this cover?



If not, I think I can read:

Is there enough instrument on these covers?

Ooh, I've read The Piano Shop on the Left Bank - good book. :)

Fiona (Titch) wrote: "Can I have ?"

That works.

Pia wrote: "Is there enough of a violin in this cover?

Either one of those would work. They're both obviously musical instruments.

There are. Any of those will work.

Great. Thanks!

Thank you x

Thanks, Kristina .... never know what will be available at the library when I need it, so I'm trying to cover all my bases ...

I know how that goes! I'm a heavy library user, too. ;-)

This is a little hard to see so I thought I should double check. You need to enlarge the cover to see it.



In the lefthand corner of the bottom, there's a man sitting at a piano and another man leaning on top of it.

Is there enough there for this to work or too small?

That works. Just be sure to point it out when you post the completed task since the piano is easy to overlook.

Would this work ?
he's holding drum sticks

Since the actual drum isn't shown, I'd have to say no to , but works. The guy in the middle is obviously holding a guitar.

How about

thanks!

I would like to read .

That works.

Will the flute that the mouse is playing on the cover be acceptable? This is a children's book but it meets the necessary requirements for AT verification

Yes, that works.

Hina wrote: "Would this work? "

Yes, it looks like he has a guitar over his shoulder. It works.

Kristi - are drum sticks enough? (if not cool - just trying to fit book in)
