Oh ugh. This has always been one of my least favorite tasks. I'll be b..."

Mine as well. I have so many covers with women on them so I end up squinting at them like a creep in the odd chance that the women are wearing jewelry and then nope. I always go for royalty books in this case lol, they're good for a gem or two at least.

The murderer is not the movie star.

Congrats, Joann!

Congrats, Robin! I've got your link moved!

I think this one is the first unambiguous cover I found that shows jewelry:

#116: by Alexandre Dumas.

Today's callout:

Angel, I'm sorry I didn't see your completion post earlier. You are missing a book for task #12. Do you have a book you can use?

A8 - Beg, Borrow, or Steal by Sarah Adams [384 pages] (5/15)"

A8 is a hit.

Did that sink the patrol boat? Since P3 was a miss, as were S2 & S4, there's not another spot that can be a part of a combo with S3 (and R3 was already established as a hit)."

Yes! Actually, I said that P3 was a miss by mistake, when I should have said it was a hit. So you sank a destroyer, not the PT boat. Sorry!! I think I was looking at one of the other participants' data by mistake.

Congrats, Kathy and Richard!
