Thanks Sarajayne...I could NOT figure it out for the life of me last night, haha!

[Barb]

Cherie, do colors count for this, or only objects? If there's a yellow flower, would it count as a Y or an F? (I know, neither of those letters is in this challenge, but it was the first example to pop into my head LOL)

Whew thanks

Stupid question of the century here but how do you get the book image to appear next to the post?

[Shirley]

select book/author select cover

Sarajayne wrote: "Shirley wrote: "Confused here.... does that mean light is not ok for The Light Between the Oceans?

There's a light on the top of the light house, so that would still be fine :)"

Or you could use 'lighthouse' instead of just 'light' :)

[Barb]

Thomas wrote: "Stupid question of the century here but how do you get the book image to appear next to the post?"

No such thing as a stupid question, Thomas!

Above the box where you type your comment, click on Add Book/Author. Search for the book cover you want to add. At the bottom of the window that pops up, click the radio button next to Cover, then click on Add. Voila! Your bookcover will be placed in your post :)

[Amelia]

This looks interesting. I'll try it too. I like the flexibility of the challenge. I don't seem to do very good when I have to read a specific book.

Cherie, seeing how this is obviously a picture of David Mitchell (the author of this memoir), can I claim that I spotted something beginning with D?

[Cherie]

SilverRaindrops, that's an interesting interpretation - I'll accept it. lol I wouldn't have thought of it myself.

[Chaitra]

I'll do this too! Backdating to Oct 1.
