Watch (WWW, #2) by Robert J. Sawyer Save Our Sleep, Revised Edition by Tizzie HAll work.

I'm going to say no to Flying Too High (Phryne Fisher, #2) by Kerry Greenwood because there's a tiny visible person in the aircraft to the right - he doesn't seem cut, just obscured because he's sitting in the plane. I hope that made sense. :)


message 55: by Jenifer (new)

Jenifer (jensamaha) | 355 comments I am thinking of doing crowns for option B (same objects on two covers.

Would this image work as a crown? The White Queen (The Cousins' War, #1) by Philippa Gregory

Jenifer, option 2 requires that you have only objects, no people or animals are allowed on the cover. So that cover won't work, I'm sorry!

Jenifer (jensamaha) | 355 comments Oh, sorry. I guess I need pay more attention! lol

It works for my other book. ;) A Clash of Kings (A Song of Ice and Fire, #2) by George R.R. Martin

Yes it would!


message 63: by Deanna (new)

Deanna (whodunitrdr) | 190 comments Would these work for option B - That Thing (mountains in this case)? I know that the publishing company logo on the first book has a silhouette of a swan but that is not part of the actual cover art.

Dead Angler (A Loon Lake Mystery, #1) by Victoria Houston and Painted Truth by Lise McClendon

Sure Deanna, I'll take that. But just in case, could you mention it was approved in this thread? :)

Nick (doily) | 3397 comments Hi Chaitra,

Would you consider this cover gaudy and multi-colored? The Stress of Her Regard by Tim Powers (Option C)


message 68: by Chaitra (new)

Chaitra (chaitra_ganesh) | 518 comments Nick, Option C is up to you. If you think that the cover is garish, it's good enough for the task. :)


message 69: by Robin (new)

Robin (rgage) | 191 comments Would The Cat Who Sniffed Glue (Cat Who..., #8) by Lilian Jackson Braun and The Cat Who Went Underground (Cat Who..., #9) by Lilian Jackson Braun work since they both have cat paw prints? option B


message 70: by Chaitra (new)

Chaitra (chaitra_ganesh) | 518 comments Yes Robin, I'll accept that as I think they're central enough to the cover. :) Could you mention that it's been accepted in the help thread when you post, just in case?


message 71: by Robin (new)

Robin (rgage) | 191 comments Sure will and thanks a lot!

Claire, I'm assuming you mean this cover for Night Road?

Night Road by Kristin Hannah

It wouldn't work for A, because there are two tiny people on the road that appear whole. Sorry!

A Song Flung Up To Heaven by Maya Angelou works. :)


message 81: by Claire (new)

Claire (proud-mum) | 1086 comments But that title has been approved in your post?


message 82: by Janet F (new)

Janet F (janet_f) | 450 comments How about these for Option A? First one dismembered wolf (lower right corner) and the other is just part of human face.
Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

Aargh! Sorry! That was a mistake. I obviously didn't see properly the first time around. Thanks for bringing it to my notice. Changing it now!

message 89: by Jenifer (new)

Jenifer (jensamaha) | 355 comments I'm pretty sure that these fit for the "dismembered" category but just want to be sure:

Shadow Baby by Alison McGhee and
The Mystery of Breathing by Perri Klass

Andy, The Mystery of Breathing by Perri Klass works. I'll say no to Shadow Baby by Alison McGhee because it looks like the person (child?) is entirely within the cover, even though they're behind the tree. Sorry!

Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1) by Larissa Ione and The Archived (The Archived, #1) by Victoria Schwab work perfectly.

Out of The Easy by Ruta Sepetys , I'm not sure if her legs are within the cover (behind the table), but I'll give it the benefit of doubt. If you decide to use this, could you mention that it was approved in the thread?
