I will accept
for mountains. As far as the other one it's harder to discern if it's just treeline & clouds vs mountain in the background.

I thought the same thing about the Madman's Daughter. Thanks!

ack, i'm an idiot!! i thought the nature one had the caveat about explaining the connection and it doesn't - whoops...guess, i'll have to find another place for the book I read

"Yes. I wasn't 100% sure it was mountains from the cover but I read the description and see it is a cabin in the mountains.

At any rate, you're not an 'idiot'!, but probably just a little 'crazy' about reading!! ;~)
I would however like to hear your case & if it is a book that has a 'nature' theme I can see what I can do. I had a really great day of mountains, nature, snow, skiing and reading so I think the task 'good karma' is really working for me. :-)
the book was The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate and it really starts in the summer when she notices that there are 2 different types of grasshoppers in her home - her grandfather is a naturalist who knew Charles Darwin and a good portion of the book is her outside with him learning about nature/scientific method etcI was able to put it in a 10 point task though, so i'm not too upset - I think I got confused because it was on the popular books shelves as nature, so I was like, well nature will show then...but it didn't....whoops

I see it has 16 tags for nature, but it's pretty far down the list of tags. It see it on the popular shelves when I click 'nature' as a subgenre. Probably because it is generally such a popular book. I just joined the 8,796 who had it marked 'to-read'. It looks very interesting to me!
Thanks!
