Hmmm. You know, your right. I don't see just their legs often. That could be a problem.
I've seen some covers that show torso and legs. Would that work or does it have to only legs? And I will definitely check out some Highlander books, Midu! Unfortunately I've read the Katie MacAllister book "Men in Kilts" or that one would work.
Leslie, you could use these for legs...it's what I thought of when planning mine...
Granted, there are other lovely body parts showing. You could pick and choose ;)
Does anyone know where I can find some men's feet? We seem to have a fascination with everything between neck and knee...
Looks like fun...Build a Book Body

I made a big sacrifice for you ladies today and went to the bookstore. **hee hee** What I found for this challenge showing a guy's feet was:

Gra..."I didn't know if this would work, because there is so much other (beautiful) parts of the body! I have never actually read this book and it was picked for me this month. Maybe I should try it!!

huh, so she's two headed!
**hee hee** This is build a body - not build a monster! - Just kidding. You can build anything your precious little heart desires, Midu. ☺
Ok. Those are feet, but how do you know they are male?I've searched the planet for men's feet! Apparently, men don't have feet, particularly when they are otherwise amply endowed.
**snortsnort* Oh, Lord! Now I'm going to pee my pants. Hang on...**scurries to bathroom**
scared now!

My obsession with feet can finally subside:

RLftCI: ~Q2 Build-A-Book-Body~
Duration: 1st Aprl to 30th June, 2013
Gone are the days where romance novel covers would invariably consist of gaudy colours, and portrait painted pictures of well-endowed women or couples with competing hair-styles in various states of undress. Nowadays, we are seeing more and more artistically-framed body shots on the cover of our books... so how hard would it be to make our own stylised body, out of the body parts on our book covers?
Example:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Rules: Read 4 books that have only a part of the body on the cover. One book for the head; one for the upper torso/ arms; one for the lower torso/ back; one for the legs or feet. The aim of the challenge is to make it so that by the end of the month, you have a rough outline of a body as you look down the list.
