Rules: The purpose of this challenge is to build a body through book covers. You'll do so by finding book covers that feature specific body parts and collecting them until you've come up with a complete body.

For instance, hair, eyes, mouth, neck, torso, shoulders, back, legs, arms (if you want to add an extra challenge, you could do hands, feet, hips, etc) or easier would be head, torso, legs, and arms.

Note: Look for book covers predominantly featuring the body parts you're after. For instance, the cover for Bitter Night (Horngate Witches, #1) by Diana Pharaoh Francis has arms on it, but they don't draw your eyes the way the arms on Leaving Paradise (Leaving Paradise, #1) by Simone Elkeles 's cover does. Also, remember that all of the body parts below are optional. Mix & match, pick & choose while still creating a body, but remember to be creative and have fun!

Levels:
The Bare Bones: 4-5 books
Shoulder to the Wheel: 6-9 books
Head and Shoulders Above: 10+ books

Duration: One year from your start date.

Tips & Suggestions:
- Listopia is a great place to find books for this challenge. There are many different lists devoted to body parts like hands, feet, legs, eyes, etc.
- Use this challenge to create your perfect man or perfect woman, or even to create your own ideal body.
- Take it a step further by dressing your body in the perfect outfit. You can search for covers with articles of clothing you'd like your body to wear.
- Want to name your body? Go ahead! Come up with a fun and unique name and tell us why you chose it.
- If you want an extra challenge, try to find two eyes, hands, feet, arms, shoulders, and legs. You can even look for a right & left of each!
