Is this background pink enough? I think I've just been staring at things for too long. I can't tell if pink or peach.

Susan A | 1665 comments Triskelion by Jana Denardo is the last sunset pink?

If not that one, Road of No Return (Sex & Mayhem, #1) by K.A. Merikan , are those pink letters?

I'm thinking these example may be purple.

Pink lips: As long as it is a color cover (not black & white) are you counting lips as pink, or is it a case by case basis?


I do not understand how it is possible for me to have no obviously pink books on my TBR!

In your first book, I'd say a couple of the rectangles in the last panel are pink. the letter in the second book looks purple to me.

Lips aren't automatically pink - they have to be pink on the cover - for instance, I could imagine a book cover with someone wearing bright red lipstick.

Cait S | 738 comments I've been debating this one with myself for a day or so now, so I'm just going to make sure. Me and my over-analyzing self would like to know if this one works:

Toads and Diamonds by Heather Tomlinson

Is her dress pink? If the dress doesn't work, is the inner part of the flower pink or does it not count because of the white petals?

Meghan (meghanly) | 336 comments Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Berls Is this ok?

It's not a specific object - just the overall color of the cover. And is it pink enough?
