The Seasonal Reading Challenge discussion

How about His, Hers and...Theirs??

East/West?

same/different?
easy/hard?
living/dead?

I have a few potential pairings to check - they might be a stretch:
fictional/true
fragile/tough
sizzling/cold
faithful/disappearing?
thanks!

that's fine.

I add to the approved list when people ask about things - it would be WAY too difficult to try to come up with a list of all possible antonyms.

fictional/true and fragile/tough work; the other two pairs, no.

Thanks Sandy!

FYI - I'm going to be away until Sunday, and will have limited computer access. I'll try to get on here and answer questions if possible, but can't promise anything.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Does The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud work? Life/Death

black/white?
fear/fearless?
thanks

Checking to see if Summer/Winter would work? I have had the Lisa Kleypas Wallflowers series on my TBR list for a while.

Would Hide/Seek work for this challenge? I've got Ian Rankins book on my TBR.

Would Agents Of Light And Darkness work? I wasn't sure about the "ness" at the end of Dark.

How about...

Living Dead Girl
Love You Hate You Miss You
Things You Either Hate or Love?

EDIT: Looks like all are okay, from the approved list. Just let me know if any of them are NOT okay...

Black and white works, not fear and fearless - they're not opposite. Maybe fearful and fearless, if you found books with those two.

I need to think about this - I'll answer tomorrow, when I'm not just off an 8 hour drive!

How about here and elsewhere?

Elsewhere and You Are Here

Anna wrote: "Would Hide/Seek work for this challenge? I've got Ian Rankins book on my TBR."

Yes, because they're paired words - one is hiding while the other is seeking.

fine

Are "All" and "Nothing" okay? Thanks!

good and bad?
As in The Good, the Bad, and the Undead

How about birth and death? History of the English Speaking Peoples: Birth of Britian Vol 1

Cindy AL wrote: "How about birth and death? History of the English Speaking Peoples: Birth of Britian Vol 1"

that works

thanks - now to find a "death"!

What about Naughty or Nice? Would that work?

cindy - have you read the in death series by JD Robb (they are futuristic romance), but each one has an individual mystery being solved...Eve is a cop in 2059 NYC...it also worked the future task (since they are written now and set more than 50 years in the future)

What about town/jungle?

Sorry, those don't work as opposites.

Sandy wrote: "BJ Rose wrote: "good and bad?

That's the one I'm reading as well! Ah great minds think alike!

I would like to read Day After Night for this challenge.

sounds good to me

What about Rebel Angels?

Kristen wrote: "What about Rebel Angels?"

Rebels and Angels don't really fit as opposite words. Sorry.

Would crying/laughing work?

I was thinking The Crying of Lot 49 and The Laughing Corpse.

that works

Would Now or Never work as opposites?

Juli wrote: "Would Now or Never work as opposites?"

now and never don't really work - now and later are opposites, but not doing something now doesn't mean you'll never do it.
