OK...new question. How many nouns are in this title/subtitle? Particularly wondering about prophet-scientists.

Interesting title, Bea! Where did you find this book!
With the "-", you may take 'shaman-scientists' as one word :)

I assume you mean prophet-scientists not shaman-scientists, Tien. OK that will make 5 nouns by my count: Shaman, Moon, Prophet-Scientists, Stonehenge, and Grand Canyon.
Believe it or not, I own the book and have been trying to get around to reading it for some time!

What do you think about this cover
for the "Sober: plain background cover with only word of title" task?
That's what I chose it for, but looking up close, the part that seems solid has a tiny little all-over design in it. Not what I'd call an "image," but not a totally solid cover, either.

Thanks. I could've used it in Round 2 instead, but since I chose it for this, I'm glad to put it here.

Is it for Task 6? If so, there's this note at the bottom of that task that says "Face / head must be shown (ie. no headless bodies)"
Sorry...

I suspected that, but did not see the note. Too bad. I am trying to find an alternate book to the one I had planned. I think I have just lost my interest for now in the Isabel Allende book.
What about a head and chest but no clear body?
Nevermind, I can see more of the body when I enlarge the cover. I will use this one as female cover.

Ah you may or may not notice that I didn't specify that it has to be boy-girl pairing ;)

Nope. Just reading the options for Cover Crush after a recent posting. I have only had this one once so far. (Crossing my fingers.)
