Build-A-Body Challenge
Duration: 8/1/2020 - 7/31/2021
Progress: 0 out of ?
The Bare Bones: 10 - 15 books
Eyes and Ears: 15 - 20 books
Shoulder to the Wheel: 20 - 25 books
Head and Shoulders Above: 25+ books
This challenge lasts for 1 year from the date you start
The purpose of this challenge is to build a body through book covers. You'll do so by finding book covers that feature specific body parts and collecting them until you've come up with a complete body.
You can make this challenge as easy or as challenging as you wish, depending on how many body parts you want to use. For instance, if you wanted to make this as hard as possible, you may want to look for two separate eyes, a mouth, a head, hair, a torso, a shoulder, a neck, a back, legs, two hands, arms, and feet (or even a nose and ears if you can find them). If you want something a bit easier, however, you can look for just a head, torso, arms, and legs. The point is, it's all up to you! You're the builder.
Look for book covers predominantly featuring the body parts you're after. For instance, the cover for Bitter Night below has arms on it, but they don't draw your eyes the way the arms on Leaving Paradise's cover do. Also, remember that all of the body parts below are optional. Mix & match, pick & choose, but remember to be creative and have fun.
Options:
- Use this challenge to create your perfect man or perfect woman, or even to create your own ideal body.
- Take it a step further by dressing your body in the perfect outfit. You can search for covers with articles of clothing you'd like your body to wear.
- Want to name your body? Go ahead! Come up with a fun and unique name and tell us why you chose it.
- If you want an extra challenge, try to find two eyes, hands, feet, arms, shoulders, and legs. You can even look for a right & left of each!
