description
In the wintertime one of my favorite things to do is play board games with my family, and Clue has always been my favorite. This task is based on the game of Clue. You need to read TWO books.
First you will roll two dice (one time only!). Your first dice will determine your character and your second dice decides what the murder weapon was and what room the crime is committed in.

First Dice
1. Miss Scarlet – read a book with a red cover OR read a book with a femme fatale as a main character. a "femme fatale" uses her looks to get what she wants.
2. Colonel Mustard – read a book with a yellow cover OR read a book with a military man (active duty or veteran) as a main character or non-fiction subject
3. Mrs. White – read a book with a white cover OR read a book with a domestic/house servant or a cook as a main character or non-fiction subject
4. Mr. Green – read a book with a green cover OR read a book with a businessman as a main character or non-fiction subject
5. Mrs. Peacock – read a book with a blue cover OR read a book with a grand dame/society matron as a main character or non-fiction subject
6. Professor Plum – read a book with a purple cover OR read a book with a professor/teacher as a main character or non-fiction subject.
Second Dice
1. Candlestick in the Library – read a book with a candle on the cover OR read a book in which a book or a librarian is an integral part of the plot or non-fiction subject
2. Knife in the Dining Room – read a book with a blade of some sort on the cover (knife/dagger/sword) OR read a book in which food or cooking is an integral part of the plot or non-fiction subject
3. Revolver in the Study – read a book with a gun on the cover OR read a non-fiction book
4. Rope in the Conservatory – read a murder mystery OR read a book that takes place outdoors
5. Lead Pipe in the Ballroom – read a true crime book OR read a book about dance and/or music
6. Wrench in the Lounge – read a book with a tool on the cover OR read a book about friendship. The relationship between friends should be integral to the plot or non-fiction subject Ex.: a rift between friends, testing friendship, developing romance between friends, friends working together towards a goal, etc.

This one too ... good or bad? Was it a knife in the dining room?
