Can I get a ruling for length for this book: Gauntlet Fall (hoping to be able to use it for the feather task). The only available edition is a kindle edition; Amazon gives the length as 340 pages.

Yes, you may use this book.

Thank you, Janice!

PS. It's a kindle freebie, if anybody else wants to read it.

For the single feather, I think this is a feather and its reflection, but what do you think?

Sorry, but even if it's a reflection, there are still 2 feathers on the cover.

3. Collection - 16. Sonaja Otami Culture
Task: Read a book that has a single feather on the cover

Would be acceptable for this task?
It is a single jewelled feather.

Thanks.

Oh damn! That was totally my pick for this task! Because, you know, apparently I like to be difficult with my picks :)
Back to ye olde drawing board.

But, in my defense - I own the book on audible and the thumbnail really highlights the feather and not the reflection

There is no stipulation that the feather be an actual feather. Jewelry, ornaments, or any other depiction of a feather is fine.

Katrisa - LOL!

Sorry to burst your bubble.

That feather is gorgeous.

Yeah, that is what threw me. I had only looked at the thumbnail and later realized the reflection was there too. Bummer. I'm sure I will find a place for it.

- I think this one is out based on the response to Beth's book, which I had on my list. (This one is Ok'd for "raven" for museum 9 - collection though)

These are all other choices I found when gophering.

Thanks a lot, Cherie.

For Feather on the cover, I have this one

Cool cover, Marie Claude. I hadn't seen that cover before.

That is a great cover, Marie Claude!

If anyone wants an About book set in a college: Small Blessings

2. About -
Task: Read a book set in a school, college, or university.

Would any of these books work for this task?

1. 2.

We know as much (or as little) about a book from the blurb as you do viji. To me, it sounds like the first one is set at a school. The second one definitely involves school, but you'd have to read it to be sure enough of it is actually taking place at school.

Thanks, Peggy.

Gorgeous Book that ticks lots of boxes: The Murmur of Bees. I used it for About for card 38, set on farm ranch or plantation. But it has fruit on the cover (Museum 5, Collection), is set in Mexico and by a Mexican author (Museum 16, Location) is also originally in Spanish, translated to English (Museum 33, Location). It also has fruit and bees and sun on cover, so might work for some interactive tasks you invent. It is cool magical realism book.

For About - set in a school, college, or university, would you accept All the Bright Places? A chunk of the book is set in a high school, but a lot of the rest of the book is working of a collaborative school project for their US Geography class. Would that qualify, or are you looking for more solid class time?

That will work, Jenn. It sounds similar to the book I just read for that task, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Awesome, thanks Janice, but now what am I going to read good girls guide for lol
Oh, right, the love of reading 😝

It would fit the man/woman team solving a crime task. I was going to read it for the set in UK task, but the North American issues were changed to be set in Connecticut. It is a quick read so if you decide to read it for the joy of reading, you'll be back on the challenge trail in no time.

Will this work for a mean wearing a hat?

I'm stumped on that one. The person looks like a woman, or a boy. I really can't tell, so I'm going to say no to that.

Okay

Oh and I just realised I put the question on the wrong thread...

LOL! I didn't even notice. :)

Haha... I noticed when I started looking for recommendations... 😂
