Cut to the Bone (Body Farm, #8) by Jefferson Bass"


It looks like only the skull is visible. We need to have at least half a skeleton visible. But I just have to ask, is this Kindle lendable? lol

Ashley | 1439 comments I was thinking like a hole in the earth... Holes (Holes, #1) by Louis Sachar

The skeleton is annoying me because there is a newish book out that I thought had a skeleton on the cover and I can't find it


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments Been planning to read The Way of Shadows for some time now... will this work for SHADOW? It's in plural form. They did accept ninth for nine... Thoughts Ash?

I'll use it for this instead of headstrong - headstrong should be easy to fill

I'm trying to work my way through all the Anne McCaffrey books but i must admit some of them are not as good as i remember them being.


kat (wanderfulbooks) (wanderfulbooks) | 2329 comments I barely read scifi. I' a very visual person so I'm not sure if the covers play a part. I buy lots of books just because I thought the cover pretty! I'm an easy target.

Awryt. Oh and which are you reading for again? Musical instrument on cover or musician MC?

message 2987: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments Finished The Tutor
Fits: Door on cover

@Kathleen, started my book and I'm supposed to be reading for musician MC. I read for instrument on cover before and I'm assuming it just came up again. In that case, this book also works for it if needed.


message 2988: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly (poweki) | 1713 comments I read Ramona and Beezus to my son... is that a cook that can be used for this challenge? Even as a homeless book? If so, I'll add it. I finished it last night.

Trying to get feedback about it being used for "Read a book with a shadow on the cover or in the title"

I'm supposed to be reading for it so I started The Way of Shadows but I cannot get into it, yet (I hope).

Ladies, let us welcome Katharine to the team! :D

No such thing as late to the party! ;)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments Yay, a new member! Welcome to the Plumed Basilisks :D


message 2994: by ~~~N~~~ (new)

~~~N~~~ (chocolate-cannibal-bunnies) | 616 comments For the MC is a musician task, does the MC need to be a professional musician or can small performances throughout the book for fun count?

Finished Tournament of Losers
Fits: maybe MC is a musician

15% through the proper "musician" book I'm reading, but if Tournament of Losers counts then it can be used for instrument on cover
