Valorie  | 817 comments Would this one work? Knit Fast, Die Young (A Knitting Mystery, #2) by Mary Kruger It looks like there are some trees in the background, and one on the far left side in between the fence railings. You might have to "click" on the picture of the book (once you are on the main book page) to make it larger to see them. Thanks!

I'm sorry, but that doesn't really look as much like a tree as a floral design.

D.G. I'm not sure this works...like Nation, it doesn't show of enough of the tree, but I'd like to confirm before I use it for another task!

Crystal Cove by Lisa Kleypas

the difference is that this is a tree trunk showing. In Nation, all you can see is a lot of foliage, including some really big ferns, so there was nothing to tell that there was actually a tree involved. so, this will work.

D.G. Thanks! I thought that was a rock! But on second look, it looks like a tree. ;)

well, if it looks like a rock in person, then you shouldn't use it. To me, it looks like a tree trunk.

I only have the ebook so I don't know how the actual cover looks. I went with rock because the water was so close and I thought she was leaning on a cliff but that's probably a Photoshopped image so I shouldn't go by that. :) And there's another version of the cover that shows the same image in 'daylight' and there it definitely looks more like a tree.

If I have some time, I'll stop by a B&N and check out a real copy before I submit it. :)

Kathy G. | 1931 comments I know this is hard to see---
But I wanted to read Esperaanza Rising--
And on the cover she is flying over
the valley--- Way below her are orchards-
so would this count for "tree on the cover?"

sorry, no, there really don't seem to be any distinct trees visible on the cover.
