Thank you!"


I will allow it -- it's a representation of a bird that's pretty easy to spot.

Good question....since this is a slice of what is meant to be a full cake, I am going to say yes.

Approved.

Jayme Pendergraft | 762 comments Hi PeeBee,

Does this work as having a bird on the cover?

The Good House by Ann Leary

It sure does. Approved. Good book too.


Jayme Pendergraft | 762 comments Thanks! I've already read it and really enjoyed it. Just trying to find a place to fit it :)


message 77: by Peebee (new)

Peebee | 481 comments A little hint to those still trying to fit a book for this task....I found the other day that books published by Penguin all have the Penguin logo imprint on the cover.

Yes, penguins are birds, and yes, they count for Option 2 A.


message 78: by Gea (last edited Aug 16, 2014 07:24AM) (new)

Gea (gea89) Wonderful (Medieval Trilogy, #1) by Jill Barnett has doves on cover. So does it work for 2A?


message 79: by Peebee (new)

Peebee | 481 comments They look like birds, even like doves (like the song title) so yes, they are approved.


message 80: by Jecca (new)

Jecca | 735 comments Will this work for cake? It's a cheesecake.

The Proposition (The Plus One Chronicles, #1) by Jennifer Lyon

Yes, that will work, if only because the task is really about birthday cake and I had cheesecake as my birthday cake for several years as a child, because it was my favorite!

Approved.
