That works (color or colorless....).

Beat the Rain by Nigel Jay Cooper will work but the other two have identifiable objects on them (the heart/leaves and broken glass).

That's probably some kind of mathematical graph there in the background, but it looks pretty abstract to me. I'll take it.

Trish (trishhartuk) | 3675 comments Would the standard kindle public domain cover work for this task? For example: The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan
Or failing that, how about The Knowland Retribution (The Locator, #1) by Richard Greener

Yes, any of the two-blocks-of-color classic book covers would work. The Knowland Retribution (The Locator, #1) by Richard Greener works as well.

Andy Plonka (plonkaac) | 4207 comments I think this one works but just to be sure Unbecoming by Rebecca Scherm Maybe not there looks like a face in the background in this picture. I have the book and the backround in it looks much more blurry.No worries if it doesn't conform, I'll find something else
Thanks, Andy

Sorry, Andy. Even though it's blurry, it's still a relatively normal face.


message 76: by Kristina Simon (new)

Sorry, JennRenee. The identifiable flower at the bottom keeps it from working. It would have worked without that flower!

That's ok. I have The Gates of Evangeline by Hester Young which was just approved so I'll use that

Will this one work?

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11204 comments Teresa Jo wrote: "Wild Justice by Phillip Margolin

Yes, that works, but it's really hard to see on GRs. I was able to blow it up on Amazon so I could see it. To keep DLMRose from having to recheck, please make sure you point out that the cover was approved in the help thread when you post.

That is probably what they are supposed to represent, however, they are really just small rectangles of yellow color, not actual, identifiable books, so it works for abstract.


message 93: by Donna (new)

Donna | 1271 comments Is this abstract enough?

A Free Man A True Story of Life and Death in Delhi by Aman Sethi

The Glamour of Grammar A Guide to the Magic and Mystery of Practical English by Roy Peter Clark

Are the yellow shapes acceptable? Or because it's an apostrophe, is this considered a naturalistic element?
