Help/Discussion: Site 26, The World's Largest Sundial, Singleton, Australia


1. Location: Singleton, Australia
Read a book with a one word title (no articles).

2. About: At the time of its creation, it was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest sundial.
Read a book that won any category of the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards from this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Sou...

3. Souvenir: Miniature Replica of this sun dial.
Read a book with large circles on it as a graphical design.

Thought I had the perfect book for this on my TBR. 3 PAGES TOO SHORT!

Oh NO! I also have that book on my TBR! :(

I had that same problem with that book with the museum challenge. Rusalka had written an interactive task but she poo-pooed the book. It was after that I realized the book was too short anyway.

December would be a good month to clear it off our tbr's.

She's a jerk.

*snort*

Too Funny!

What do you think of for

Yes, it will work.

How about this for circles on cover?

Yes

Thanks Janice!

Would this be acceptable?
Time's Edge .
I'm not sure I'll get to it, but I'd like to know in case I do.

For the Souvenir task? Yes.

Thank you, Janice. Sorry I forgot to say which task.

Good one, Roz! That is the next one up in the series for me. I thought the first one was pretty good.

Circles?

Christina wrote: "Circles? "

Yes. :)

Here is another circle book, if needed. The Bone Clocks

Will this one work, Janice? or does it have to have the complete shape?

Cherie wrote: "Will this one work, Janice? or does it have to have the complete shape?"

There are a couple of complete circles on it, so I will accept it.

Happy new year :)

For the location task: one-word titles, does that mean no subtitles? Most of my books are nonfiction, and they always have subtitles!

I want to read Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything (but I totally understand if the subtitle disqualifies it).

As per the rules, sub-titles don't count.

Thanks!

Can I use for circle task?

Ayacchi wrote: "Can I use for circle task?"

I'm just stomping on everything, aren't I?

No, It's not a tangible circle - just a spotlight.

Does the circle need to be complete? For exemple, would this work?

Janice wrote: "I'm just stomping on everything, aren't I?

Nah, just doing the job keeping us on track. I'm the one who make it hard, lol.

Haruki Murakami has many books with circle on the cover but I'm not in the mood to read his. I found , the blurb sounds interesting

That would work.

I enjoyed Slade House. :)

I have that one on my tbr as well.

Need a ruling on this one for the circles - souvenir task. Yes or no?

Circles as a design element. Those circles represent a dart board, but it's definitely circles and not a dart board. Would you call that a design element? I think it is, because not only does it represent a dart board, but it becomes a letter in the title. It's your lucky day. :)

AWESOME! Thanks so much, Janice!

Lucky, Pat! I thought she was going to tell you no at first.

I gave up on Stephanie Plum after book #23. I couldn't take it any more. I hope you enjoy it.

I don't read her often enough to give up on her. I'm not much of a series reader, and most series that I DO read, I don't read in order, so the whole idea of them is pretty much wasted on me. LOL

When I first discovered Stephanie Plum, I was just getting into audiobooks, and a friend and I started listening to the series books while we knitted, not in any order, but just as they became available. Later, I started reading the books, and started at the beginning untill I had read all that had been published, up to that point. After that, it was all - wait for the next book to come out and get in line to get a copy from my library. I loved the characters, but nothing ever changed, except a few plot elements.
I just gave up on being interested and moved on. :o)

Yep. Pretty much like that for me as well. I like the character herself, but she hasn't seemed to do anything really interesting in a while. The books are formulaic, and so they're a fast and easy read, but sometimes it feels like, "jeez, there should be something out there better than THIS...."

Would either of these work for the souvenir task?

Either would work.

Yes, it will work.

Does this one work for the circle design? Thought I had better check before I organise book.
Great Circle

Yes

Would this work for circles on the front as a design element?

Yes.

Thank you Janice 💕
