Duration: 6/24-6/30

The How To's:
♕Any book with a single male on the cover
♕Any book written by a male author
♕Any book that's in a male's POV
♕Any book that has a male narrator

Each book will score you 20 points.
Books must be at least 150 pages
*Any book FINISHED after this one begins is ok to use. Click on the image below to view the countdown clock.

Can there be a man and an animal on the cover or just a man?

It's true Jenne, you have gone countdown clock crazy!

Or maybe on the cover could be a girl and a guy?

We can just keep this going..I have a man and a child

Or photo of a guy (with the girl) on telephone?

Stay strict Jenne.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love that you are changing up the countdown clocks each time!

Single male = the only living thing on the cover lol excluding plant life =]

Jenne, look at these books..Do you need a face, or are abs okay etc. Are all these acceptable? What isn't?


where the hell are hunky books with Green covers?

Now hot men on the cover I can do!!!!! .........You did say hot men right??

♕Any book that has a male narrator

So does this mean dual narration with a female will not work?

What if the only person on the entire planet who thinks the guys is hot is the author? Like

I'm kidding! Who would really want to read that book! lol

Ezi those covers are good...literally lol :)

No dual narrators gotta be the whole enchilada.

Yowza Shannon! Nobody said it has to be a hot guy so that would work lol!

You just hurt his feelings! That was his sexy look and everything!
you thought the 1 star rating was a sensation

Oh, Shannon, that cover!! Ick! It's #1 on the Worst Gay Covers listopia, lol. With good reason.

Ezi, if you think green covers with one single dude on them is hard to find, try pink covers with one single dude. lol

How about something like this Jenne...cause I'm kinda sure those hands aren't his...



Or something like this where the dude and the animal are the same person/thing...

Jeez Paris, now you've hurt his feelings. He's always been self conscious about his feminine looking hands. :)

Totally just snorted. Thank you for that Shannon. lmao

Lol! Sorry P no to all 3, no animals and those hands aren't his...

Your team may just have it the toughest with pink but don't be surprised when you have it easy and the other teams don't.

Thanks Jenne. Of course I had to check although I was fairly certain the answer was no.

I want to ask. Do in the book can be not all chapters but just some in guy's POV. Because in all my readings just 1 series and some other books had written just in guy's POV

Hmm good question. Let's go with over 50% from a males POV.

Just checking Jenne about Male narrator, do you mean via audio book?

Sorry you've already answered that earlier lol I hadn't read through properly!

Me again sorry haha

would count?

V I've not read that so I'm not sure. Ezi has though maybe she can better answer it.

FYI peeps: Looks like the majority of the Thunder Point series, by Robyn Carr, has solo guys on the cover, plus they all have a splash of colors that might fit most of the teams here. (book 8 has a dog, so it's not included)

V, yes, I would say it's about 50/50 on The Law of Moses. It alternates between Georgia and Moses.

You know you have a single male on the cover right? You don't need to worry about narrator.

I LOVE Thunder Point!!

I've never read it but it's on my list. I might try to squeeze in a few this week but I've got so many other books I need to read first, so we'll see.

I listen to it and Therese Plummer is one of my favorite narrators

I know this is a long shot but thought I'd try anyway! Could the 50%+ of a book be shard between multiple male points of view? For instance the After Cilmeri books (Children of Time is the one I've just read) change by the chapter between characters. This one had David, Llywellyn,Meg and Lili but I think more of it was the men (which I will check). Would it count if David and Llywellyn contributed more than 50% of the book between them?

Thank you :)

Jenne so you see and pink in the sky near the moon in this book?

Claire if you have multiple males' POV 50% or more you're good.

Ora looks pink in the upper left corner.

Thanks Jenne. That one doesn't work out in the end but I think the next one might :)

Thanks Jeene

I was wondering about the single male on the cover but wasn't sure if it was showing enough of him though.
Thanks Ezi x

Hey Jenne - what about a husband and wife author team?? Will that work as he probably writes at least half of the book. Ilona Andrews??

I'm gonna have to say no to dual authors unless it's both males.

These two do NOT work unless they meet the other factors. Both contain females on the covers

I see plenty male skin on Spartacus. Hubby now hates Spartacus with a passion
