2158267 Would either of these work? I'm a little colorblind, but they look red, white and blue to me. I couldn't get the right cover to show up so here are the links:

or

1518370 It looks blue, red, white to me too! I didn't see a 2nd one though.

My copies of A Farewell to Arms is red, blue, and white. Also, I think Suite Française would work. I think..Cynthia would need to ok that though!

Cynthia, would Suite Francaise work for this task? I have this exact copy on my bookshelf. Is it red, white and blue enough? If not, that's okay. I'll find something else.

Yes and Yes - if it has an actual flag on the cover it is definitely ok.

Hey,they sound like interesting books, I'm going to read "Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover" first. Do you mind letting me know do you like (or dislike) it?


message 33: by Sara ♥ (new)

155288 FYI, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover is the third book in a series... It follows I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You and Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy.

I've read the 1st book (reread it yesterday, so I could remember what happened) and it's totally cute and fun. I'm sure the others will be great, too. My best friend says the 3rd on is the best so far. I may end up reading Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover for the Fall Challenge (I need to eek in another book, and that's one option), so I may be reading it sooner rather than later, but either way, I'll let you know!

Thanks.I've put "Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover"on-hold with my local library,and hopefully I can get for my business trip by this Thursday. Let's see if your best friend is right.
