Shannon, if you click the "add book/author" link at the top of the comment box, it'll open a window where you can type in the book you're looking for. At the very bottom, there's a place for you to click "cover" If you click that, it'll add the pictures. ^-^ It took me a while to figure it out, too.

Oh, and we totally need to be partners for this challenge. There's so many books we both want to read. (Jus' saying', Mods. ;D)
