The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

15.6. Light My Fire
Beltane is a festival held on May 1 to celebrate the beginning of summer. Rituals were performed to protect the crops and the cattle and special protective bonfires were held.

Read a book with the word FIRE in the title/subtitle or fire/flames on the cover. Plurals, possessives, and compound words containing the word "fire" may be used, as long as the meaning of "fire" is preserved - for example, Firestarter.

REQUIRED: If using the cover option, be sure to include the cover in your post.

Fire/flames on cover:

titles w/ "fire":
Firefight
Fire Starter

these won't work:
Frostfire

Is this enough fire?



Thanks.

yes, there's enough fire at the bottom to see that it's a fire.

Is there enough of a flame on the I of Justice?

yes. Looks to be an ebook only, tho, so be sure to get it approved for length.

Checking on these please:



Thanks!

not the first - not clear that there are actually flames. The second and third work.

Must the word fire be in the title? Not in the subtitle?

Was looking through my TBR pile and I have , Book 2 of "A Song of Ice and Fire" series

Subtitles are ok, but "A Song of Ice and Fire" is a series title, not a subtitle.

Oops... you're right there!
I have another book for the task anyway. Maybe when the other tasks are posted I'll find one where this book fits.

Thanks!

I think I've already done that, but I'll double check. Thanks.

Will work? When you enlarge the cover, the glow is from a lit candle.

Thanks

yep, I see it.

thanks so much :)

Just wanted to check on this cover. The flames are a little bit stylistic, but, that is showing a city on fire. Would this be alright?

yes

Hi!
Could you confirm for fire on the cover? I'm worried that it looks more like smoke above a fire rather than just fire itself. Thanks!

looks to me like fire and smoke. It works.

Would this work ?

yes

Would work for flames on cover?

yes

Would this work the title on the goodreads page is Fire Starter, however the book says Fuorescence with Fire Starter small underneath.


Or would this one work

Fire Starter works - far as I can tell, that's the book title with Flourescence being a series title.

"Frostfire," however, doesn't seem to have the actual meaning of "fire" in the title.

There is a candle flame on this cover . Would it work?

sure would.

How about for flames on the cover? (buildings in the background)

Emily S. wrote: "How about for flames on the cover? (buildings in the background)"

yes

Can the flames at the bottom of this cover be seen? (Clearer on my physical copy, but since we do this on computer I thought I'd check)

Melissa wrote: "Can the flames at the bottom of this cover be seen? (Clearer on my physical copy, but since we do this on computer I thought I'd check)"

yes, I can see them.

Thanks!

Would I be able to use this? I think it's pretty clear that there's a forest fire blazing, but there's no harm in making sure.

yes, the fire is visible.

Thank you, Sandy.

I'm pretty sure those are flames...

Danielle wrote: "Will this work?

sorry, there's really not enough of anything there to show those are flames - and I didn't see anything in the book description to make me think that there was anything pertaining to fire/flames.

How about either one of these?

(her hair) or (around the mirror)

Fairest works - I don't think the hair is on fire in City of Ashes.

Thank you!
