I have a question. I'm getting a book from the library, but it's an omnibus. It's the Morganville Vampires Vol. 4: Fade Out and Kiss of Death. Would that count as one book that starts with F or two that start with F and K?

[Gisbelle]

Of course! You can add the books separately :)

Thats correct! ;D

[Mehsi]

Yippee, I am happy to hear that. I was/tried learning Spanish for some years, but haven't done much with it for some time now. Glad I remembered that one correctly.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Congrats Mehsi, for completing this challenge!!! :)

I love that you did covers! That sounded so tough to me but you had your covers so quick and got through them! yay!:D

[Mehsi]

Thanks Trisha. :) I see you are almost done too, good luck and have fun!

Thanks, covers sounded like the most fun. Most covers were easy to pick. But some took a bit of "what to choose" since they had more than one object on the cover or had an object/thing on the cover that I already used.

I might do this challenge again in a few months. By then most of my books I pre-ordered are released.
