For exterior, would "lock" work? We have locks on both our house door and garage door.

Exterior (sorry if any of these have already been mentioned)A Countess Below Stairs (I assume stairs works?)
No Roof but Heaven
The Looking Glass Wars
Storm Glass
The Goblin Wood
absolutely Christine. Lock would work.
Is library or nursery ok for the second part? I'm thinking of using The Ladies' Lending Library or Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence
Great choices Kate. I think those are perfect fits.
Hi! You've approved "door" - how about "doors"? (since most houses have more than one door!) Specifically: A Million Open Doors Thanks!
Sheila wrote: "Great choices Kate. I think those are perfect fits."Great, thanks!
for interior rooms, what about Study, Laundry and closet? there are several books with these words in the title that would work if acceptable.
Tami, I will accept all of those rooms. Hope that helps.
Would "Pillar/s" work for Part A of the task?
Sure Pillars is great. The house I grew up in had pillars on the front porch. Thanks for the memory Vicky.
I thought you had already ruled on this, I apologize if you have, the word "door" in a subtitle? - The Bizarre Truth: How I Walked out the Door Mouth First . . . and Came Back Shaking My Headsubtitles OK, not OK?
Cindy, I'll accept Door for part A. (exterior). (subtitles are OK) I prefer actual rooms for the interior part.
Would doormat work for things on the outside of a house?
Sarah, I am looking for actual parts of the exterior of a house. Doormat would not qualify. Sorry
Does stairs or roof work for outside?
Wow, a book I am actually going to have to look for because none of the ones on my shelf work!
I am sorry to keep bugging you but what about porch or stoop?
Sarah (Mood Reader) wrote: "I am sorry to keep bugging you but what about porch or stoop?"Sarah, I looked on your tbr and Life on the Refrigerator Door would work for exterior (door) & Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen would work for interior (kitchen). I don't know if that helps you or not, but I thought I'd throw it out there. :o)
Cait, I was going to use Life on the Refrigerator Door for In The Pink.... maybe one of my other books is pink... I will have to check... thanks :).
Hi Sarah - Porch and stoop both work for the exterior part of task.
Hi Julie, I will accept siding but not side. Sorry
No problem. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
great house you've got there Helen. Tower would work fine.
Sheila wrote: "I don't think passage works Elizabeth. Sorry. I'm looking more for hall or hallway here"Sheila, may I ask you to reconsider "passage"? I'm currently reading Passage, which is meant to be a play on words for both travel passage and a hallway passage. I completely understand if you say no, but figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks!
Sorry Hannah, passage doesn't work for this task. It wouldn't be fair for me to say no to Elizabeth and then turn around and say yes for you. It just doesn't fit, sorry.

HI Sheila, would The Haunting of Hill House work for the exterior? Because a house could be on a hill.
Hi MG, actually I want parts of the house itself, not where the house is located. Sorry.
Sheila wrote: "Good choice Krisabee"Yay! Thank you, Sheila! =o)
Sheila wrote: "Hi MG, actually I want parts of the house itself, not where the house is located. Sorry."That's ok. Thanks Sheila. I'll have to figure that one out for another task.
I'm planning to use A Wallflower Christmas but am not sure if "wall" counts as inside or outside or both?!?
Hi Ashley, A Wallflower Christmas will be OK for the exterior. There aren't really any rooms on the interior called the wallroom. I hope that helps.
That's super, Sheila -- Thanks for the quick response!!
Mod
I would say no to this and have noted it in post 1 and 2 above because it isn't written as bed room it is bedroom. a little different from dining room which you would not write as diningroom. Do you see the difference?
Would crawlspace work for the interior?Thanks
Yes Elizabeth crawlspace would be fine and very inventive.
Excellent--especially since I already read the book and then had a moment of hmmm...does it really fit :)
Hi Sheila!Does Dead as a Doornail work for part A? Since a house can have doornails keeping it together?
I approve Dead as a Doornail Fran for part A. Enjoy!
