#5 ~ Cover with only title and author's name ...

Does this one work?

I would say the braided scatter rug background defeats the purpose. Whoever spent hours braiding that rug would probably not call it nothing.

How about this one for the Name and Title only (some other words there, but no decoration).

For task 6, Ed or Edward author or character would you accept Eddie?

Yes, that will work.

Sorry, check the rules about names.

Will this work for name and title only?

Sharon wrote: "Will this work for name and title only? Baal"

Yes, I'll accept it.

So color variations are ok for title/author name only as long as it isn't an actual thing, correct?
So this one should work?

Yes, that one will work.

I own the three following books. Would any of these work for the task:
Read a book where the cover has only the title and author's name?
1. 2. 3.

Thanks.

Only the 2nd one would work. The first has a bee and and graphic squiggle. The last is an ocean landscape.

Thanks, Janice.

Would The Fireman work for MC is a fireman? From the description he dresses like a fireman and battles the combustion disease but I don't think he works for a fire department

He's a fireman. An interesting take on a fireman, but he is.

thanks! that one had been on my tbr for a minute!

I enjoyed that one, Katrisa. I thought it was creative and interesting.

Katrisa wrote: "thanks! that one had been on my tbr for a minute!"

A whole minute?

Haha that was my thought to Janice 🤣 My TBR is most commonly measured in years lol

lol! I was trying to make it sound more respectable.

I'm sure there's a code for scale in there somewhere. lol

You guys are cracking me up! LOL

Janice, would you accept for the task Read a book where the cover has only the title and author's name?

I just did a search for books without cover art on listopia and was able to find this list. I can not guarantee that all the books fit this challenge due to the nature of lists, but there should be some good options and it may help with the search so I thought I'd link it here: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/1...

I'm sorry Margo, but I see a person and a cat, amongst other things. Often the classics have what I'm looking for: Little Women

Damn it, I as hoping you wouldn't notice the little people! LOL

Ho about , or is it the only writing on the cover must be title and author?

I'm tricky, Margo. Yes, that book will work. Enjoy.

For #5 ~ Cover with only title and author's name ...

The book I'm thinking of is It is a book of short stories written by different women which is why there are so many authors' names on the cover.. Will this book work?

I've found one that I pulled a while back. Hoping it works, but that's what I hoped about my last one...so want to make sure this clears the approval stamp!!

Janice, would you accept MOONSHINE as a type on liquour e.g. Murder and Moonshine?

Sorry, not what I had in mind. See message 26.

Yes, moonshine will work.

Thanks Janice 😁

6. Read a book with Ed or Edward as a main character - or author.

Would Bertie And The Tinman or any other book from this Trilogy be accepted for this task.

The Main character is mentioned as Albert Edward, Prince of Wales who became King Edward VII later. The synopsis refers him as 'the future King Edward VII'.

Thanks.

Yes

Janice wrote: "Yes"

Thanks, Janice.

Thanks for giving that as an example, Janice. I have a bunch of those public domain books from Amazon and had been wondering if they would work.

That's what I was thinking of when I wrote the task, Lanelle.

Will The Winemaker's Wife work for a book with a type of liquor in the title?

"Wine" is embedded and not allowed. "Winemaker" is not a type of liquor.

Ah I thought so... I'll look for something else.

For the task:
Read a book with mpg of poetry

would The Day Before be acceptable?

MPG: Poetry is mentioned the Book Main Page but the other MPGs are YA/Romance/Contemporary/Realistic Fiction/Chick Lit etc.

I want to be sure if such books would work for this task.

Thanks.

Viji - That one does have poetry as a mpg. Maybe you just missed it?

I'm just going to pop this here in case I need it later. It's a link to the poetry tag page: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/poetry

Also, wanted to comment that I read Starfish, which has the tag and was really good and I've not read Odder, but it has the tag and the cutest cover! :)

Um... Kristie -- the link goes to the cover image of Alex North's The Angel Maker

Viji, it doesn't need to be the only genre listed on the main book page, it just needs to be included.

Just a word of caution to people using lists, the genre must also show on the mbp.
