Since I think just about anything written by P.G. Wodehouse is funny, would Psmith Journalist work for 'B'?

When a book I am reading does not have a cover, I upload it to GR and use the librarian thread on SRC to get it attached to the right ISBN. And, yes, my copy does show a door.

Scratch this--the book I was going to ask about clearly doesn't meet any of the Lettered requirements. Sorry.

the picture is hard to see... amazon has a better view of the book when you enlarge the image. there is a door on the left on the building will this work for option A or will it work for option F. since Dr. Jekell and Mr Hyde are characters in the book.

Just wanted to check my books that I have picked...

A)Lola and the Boy Next DOOR - option 1
E)Crank (in the description it mentions a monster) - option 5
F)Labyrinth of Terror (one of the main characters is a microbiology professor) - option 2

Backup book:
D) Midnight Kiss - option 2

Would you consider Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese for category F since most of the book is about doctors and medicine, (which I consider to be science).

That would be a great choice for B.

ohh, i have lola!!

It is really hard to see - I looked at images on GR and Amazon and still couldn't see the door, so it doesn't really work for A. This would be a good choice for F because of Jekyll and Hyde, though.

Your choices for A, F, and D will be fine. In reading the descriptions of [book:Crank, I didn't get the sense that the monster (the drug) was actually a character with its own thoughts or actions, so I can't accept it for E. That sounds like a powerful book, though. I've added it to my TBR.

Thanks!

Okay I am doing Dragonflight for E, Would any Stephanie Plum book work for B since One for The Money was on the list? for A, I am reading "The Door To Time"

Your choices sound fine. The Stephanie Plum books are hilarious!

Oh, this is a tough one. I have a copy of this book, and I looked at it and at the GR description. It doesn't seem to me that the doctors in this book are also scientists - yes, of course they're practicing medicine, but they're not doing research or carrying out experiments or formulating theories or making new discoveries - activities that I associate with scientists. So I'm going to have to say no to this one for F. Sorry!

If you still want to read it, and you haven't done 5.7 African Safari yet, it will fit there.

I'd like to double check on a couple of covers with doors:


The door is along the left side

and


an open - air door?

Thanks and great task! I have lots of possibilities.

so for H, can I read "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix?"

I think most of it takes place at Hogwarts, which is a haunted castle, even though the book opens on Privet Drive and has some scenes at the Ministry of Magic

For option 3 I was going to use Agatha Christie--- She's published so many books, fiction, non-fiction,
---- can I just include the Wiki page???

Thanks--- Kathy

Butterflycager, the cover is now posted.

Would by Trisha Ashley work for A? or my "door" are too small? ;)

Will you accept archeologist for F? I am currenly reading The Last Templar and 2 of the main characters are archeologists looking for something lost by the Templar Knights. A new discovery that will apparantly rock the Catholic Church.

Archaeologists will be fine for F.

It's small but easy to identify - fine for A.

Thanks! That will be fine for A.

Would the Harry Potter books count for H, since Hogwarts is a haunted castle?

Angie wrote: "Would the Harry Potter books count for H, since Hogwarts is a haunted castle?"

I'll take any of the first six books in the Harry Potter series for H, because so much of the action in those stories does occur at Hogwarts. But Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows takes place in so many different locations that it really doesn't fit for H.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will work for H since so much of it takes place at Hogwarts.

Either of those would work for A. The Forgotten Garden is so good. Big book, but worth the effort.

Great thanks!!

I was still wondering about the Agatha Christie books. Do I have to count them all or can I include the Wiki page that lists them? (For option 3)

Thanks

Kathy, if you click on the author's name on GR and look down the page to where some of the author's books are listed...you will see in small print, just above the list, how many distinct works the author has penned.

Bea wrote: "if you click on the author's name on GR and look down the page to where some of the author's books are listed...you will see in small print, just above the list, how many distinct works the author has penned..."

Unfortunately, if you look at the lists (and I checked this using an author with fewer books than Agatha Christie!), this number of "distinct works" includes collections of books that were already listed separately, as well as short story collections that include one story by that author. So, this doesn't really tell you how many books an author has written.

Thanks--- I didn't know that!

you could probably take a look at fantasticfiction.co.uk - they do a pretty good job of separating novels from collections and books featuring stories by

Oh Sandy-- then I have to count?

Bummer!

Hi,

Can we read two books by the same author? Thanks!

would Infected: Prey work for E? It is a were-cat virus that people are infected with - which makes them monsters in the eyes of the non-infected?

For a collection/anthology, would you take a trade paperback graphic novel, which is collected from individually-printed comics, each with the same author? I've got a few I need to fit in, would love to try to squeeze one or two into this task.

Sure, that's no problem.

Dee wrote: "would Infected: Prey work for E? It is a were-cat virus that people are infected with - which makes them monsters in the eyes of the non-infected?"

Since it appears that a main character is infected (and therefore a monster), I'll take it.

Would you mind posting a link to the book in question? Thanks!

thanks!! lol! it showed up as a category book in another group and trying to double up as many books as possible ;)

Sure! I was thinking about something like Locke & Key, Volume 1: Welcome to Lovecraft, which collects the first six issues of the comic book series, all written by the same author. (Don't know that I'd use this particular volume, I think I have another place for it. But I might use a later one in the series.)

Would Cloaked by Alex Flinn work for E? I haven't read it yet but it has something to do with the prince being turned into a frog. I'm having trouble determining whether a frog falls under any of the descriptions of monster that you provide. Thanks!

I'll accept it. I didn't realize that Joe Hill wrote graphic novels - this looks really good!

I don't get the sense from the description of this book that the person who is turned into a frog is really a central character in the story, and so it doesn't fit for E. Sorry!

50.1 Butterflycager's Task - Let's Build A Haunted House! :
A. The Creaky Front Door - read a book with a door on the front cover.
by Tananarive Due
2. Author is one you've never read before.

D. Secret Passageway Behind the Library - read a collection of short stories with multiple authors.

4. Book is 561 pages long

F. Mad Scientist's Laboratory in the Basement - read a book in which a scientist is a central character (And they are "mad" too.).

2. Author is one you've never read before.

Those all sound great. Enjoy!

Would Triptych by J.M. Frey work for "scientist" (central to plot). The description on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ is not that great - but it involves an alien race coming to Earth, and focuses on 1 in particular, who is put to work & live with a man/woman team - they are both scientists. It follows their story.

Would The Subtle Knife work for E- monsters? I was thinking option 4. There area lot of wicked people in the first book. Thanks!
