Bea, The Wind Done Gone A Novel by Alice Randall , A Song Flung Up to Heaven by Maya Angelou , Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence , Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende work. Loving and Leaving the Good Life by Helen Nearing is borderline, as I think both their legs are obscured by the table to a degree that I can't figure out if the cover cuts them both off, so I'll give it the benefit of doubt. If you do use it, can you mention it was approved in the thread? :)

Ward Her Royal Spyness (Her Royal Spyness Mysteries, #1) by Rhys Bowen The Raven's Bride A Novel by Lenore Hart

Loving and Leaving the Good Life by Helen Nearing Out of The Easy by Ruta Sepetys - I'm giving this the benefit of doubt because it's a little difficult to figure out if either of the people are cut off by the cover.

Won't Work for Option A - Dismembered

The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives by Lola Shoneyin - they're silhouettes of whole people.
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, #2) by Jim Butcher Flying Too High (Phryne Fisher, #2) by Kerry Greenwood Shadow Baby by Alison McGhee The Wedding Wallah by Farahad Zama - even though a body part is obscured by something, it's still within the cover.
The Alienist (Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, #1) by Caleb Carr - whole person.
The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough Night Road by Kristin Hannah - a few whole people can be seen.

21757 Stacie, may I have this book approved for option 3? The Mystery of Mercy Close. It's a new book, and Humor may fall off the page by the time I get to it.
Mar 03, 2013 12:29AM

21757 I have no idea what Dewey's Read-a-Thon is (I will obviously check it out asap), but I love this task because I fit two difficult books here. Yaay! Thanks Stacie!

I knew I had missed something, lol. Thanks Nikki, I'll go with Gardens of the Moon.
Mar 02, 2013 07:29PM

21757 I was wondering if these are sufficiently building-y for Monopoly? They're huge books so I can go with the one book option. :)

Gardens of the Moon (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #1) by Steven Erikson Memories of Ice (Malazan Book of the Fallen, #3) by Steven Erikson

Large version of Gardens and Memories so it's easier for you to decide.

21757 Thank you! It's not the easiest books to read, so I wanted to be sure it counted before I started it. :)

21757 I'm hoping part of a bird is ok for this if it's pretty obviously a bird? About to read this:
Feersum Endjinn by Iain M. Banks
21757 It was mentioned in I Am Half Sick of Shadows, which I read this week for the winter challenge. That's why it's so fresh in my mind. But you're right, that comes as no surprise at all. :D
