Book Club/Troubles discussion

I've played this in this other group but no one really played so...

I'll put a book and then I'll say to find a book with blank on it and it goes on and on. I'll start.





Find a book with a key on it.

I found one!



Find a book with chains on it.

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. I figured that this counted, even if the "chains" on the cover are formed from the word "Chains" itself, and don't actually look like conventional metal fetters.

Oh, right, now I have to give one. Try to find a book with a baby on the cover.

Find a book with a row boat on it.

My favorite book. :D

Josiah put the book with the cover please so we can see the object/person on the discussion. (:

Yay! Unfortunate Events! I've always wanted to read Chains.

Find a book with a mountain on it.

I don't know how to do that yet, actually. For this game it shouldn't make much of a difference, though, since the cover images as they show up in this thread are small enough that one will need to click on the thumbnail anyway to really see the object on the cover. On mine, simply clicking on the parsed title will bring the same effect.

...And Now Miguel, 1954 Newbery Medal winner, written by Joseph Krumgold.

When you look something up at the bottom f that little page it says link and cover just click the cover. You didn't say what to find.

How about trying to find a book with a girl and a dog on the cover. That should be slightly more difficult than trying to find one with a boy and a dog. :-)

Meany. :P

Oh wait I just added a book like that. Haha!

Not bad at all! What should we find now? :-)

hmm. Oh! Sorry. :)

Find a book with a chicken on it.

I love Fish Out of Water! :-)

Try to find a book with a gnome on the cover.

What do you mean fish out of water?

That was hard to find!

Find a book with a microphone on it.

Haven't you seen Disney's forty-sixth full-length animated film, Chicken Little, on which this particular version of the book was based? Fish Out of Water is my favorite character! He has some smooth moves.

As for the microphone... I'll have to do some thinking on that one.

Oh! That fish with an actual fish bowl? That's his name? Weird.

Aha! I have stumped you. (;

Here we go! I had a hunch that this might have a microphone on it, and it turned out I was right.



For the gnome book, my own first thought had actually been Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes by R.L. Stine.

Try to find a book with a tree on the cover (a fairly easy task).

That's him! All of Chicken Little's classmates in the movie had funny names like that: Goosy Loosey, Foxy Loxy, Morkupine Porcupine, etc.

lol.



Find a book with a cauldron on it.

Ah, Bridge to Terabithia, one of the greatest books I've ever read. In fact, it gets my vote as greatest Newbery Medal winner of them all.

How about 1966 Newbery Honoree The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander.



Try to find a book with a hypodermic needle on the cover.

That was a good one Josiah.

Now my turn. Look for identical twin brothers or sisters.

This one came to mind for me immediately as a book with twins pictured on the cover: Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson.

Try to find a book with a puppet of some kind on the cover.

Find a book with a tractor on it.

.

I always loved Johnny Tractor and His Pals! :-)

Try to find a book that has the words of the title formed by a living creature (or creatures).

I think I know what you are talking about. But if I'm correct I don't think there is a book like that.

What do you mean?

I don't have any one volume in mind, but what I'm talking about are books that have a living creature (or creatures) shaped into the letters that form the book's title on the cover. Snakes or worms would be the most obvious creatures, but I've seen other animals used for it, as well.

Here is one such book that I'd seen:



Hmm... Next, try to find a book with a giant insect on the front.

I was trying really hard to find the creature one. That was a good one.

Next, try to find a book with someone on a swing.

Oh, sorry! I thought that everyone had given up on my last one, or I would have let it stand for longer.

For the swing one, I majorly overthought it before coming up with quite possibly the most obvious solution, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher:



By the way, I'm very much looking forward to The Future of Us when it's finally released, probably sometime later this year. :-)

Next up: Try to locate a book with at least three (preferably at least four) wolves on the cover.

Those books by Jay Asher looks really interesting. It's going on my to read list.

I found this on a random book search haha


Next one: Find a book with a thought bubble on the cover.

That was hard! :D

You haven't read Thirteen Reasons Why Viv?

Find a book with campfire on it.

Escape from Camp Run-for-Your-Life by R.L. Stine.

.

It's one of the installments in the Give Yourself Goosebumps series, which is a lot like Choose Your Own Adventure. It makes sense that R.L. Stine chose to create a Goosebumps spinoff series of gamebooks, considering that years before he began the Goosebumps franchise, he had contributed a number of entries to the Twist-a-Plot gamebook series.

Next up: Try to find a book with a necklace on the cover.

I have no idea why I haven't heard about it till now. It sounds like something I will enjoy. I hope my library has it available.

Try to find a book with a strawberry on it.

I thought of this one almost immediately: Strawberry Girl by Lois Lenski, winner of the 1946 Newbery Medal.



It was one of a line of books that Lois Lenski wrote especially as a way of highlighting several of the distinctive regional cultures from around the United States. In Strawberry Girl, the region being focused on was backwoods Florida, the same area brought to life so effectively in Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings's classic novel, The Yearling.

Try to locate a book cover that shows a Korean person.

Try to find a book with a bonfire on the cover.

It is beyond fantastic. One of my favorites. It tugs at your heart.

Is bonfire too hard?

I've been trying to think of books with themes involving druids, but I haven't come up with any that have bonfires on the cover; perhaps I'm just barking up the wrong tree in trying for the druid angle. Bonfires are also common at high school rallies, from what I know, but I haven't found any books of that type that have a bonfire on the cover, either.

the highschool thing is what I thought too but I can't think of any.

Haha camping has them. ummm beach bonfires is another one :D

Do campers often use bonfires? I've been camping several times, but we always kept our fires relatively small in order to prevent the risk of forrest fire; smaller, certainly, than a bonfire.

I'm not sure I know of any books that fit the parameters of this particular hunt. Clearly, I need to do more reading. :-)

I guess I was thinking more of like a summer youth camp.
