Would you accept the snowflakes on this cover for Option 1? You'll have to embiggen it to see, I'm afraid:

Thanks!
"Yep, those are perfect! (This one would also work for option 3)."IKR? If anyone's stuck for an Option 3, the entire Meg Langslow mystery series has titles with bird puns - starting with Murder with Peacocks and up to next year's The Falcon Always Wings Twice (#27!).
Several of them are Christmas-themed, BTW, and have covers with snowflakes - Lark! the Herald Angels Sing would've been perfect for the snowflake option too, but I already had it down for another task. (Also? Very funny, charming series. If you like hypercompetent people, you'll love Meg.)
Will this work for option 1:
In the upper right corner there appears to be a discernible snowflake when you enlarge the cover.
Is a rabbit approved for option 5? Thanks.

Yes, though the one on the left shoulder of her dress is more clearly visible :)

Would this work for Option 1? It's paper snowflakes, so I wasn't sure if they counted.

Is this cat big enough on the cover for Option 5?

Thanks!

Of course! I have several friends with pet rats, and I loved this book. Enjoy!

Would a bird be considered an indoor pet since we keep them in indoor cages?

Would using "Phoenix" for bird be okay for option three? Not sure if it works because it's a fantasy bird (at least as far as we know! :D)

So sorry, they said I could limit it to real birds, and that was my original intention since it is based on the day that celebrates birds. Sorry :(

Last year for Christmas, my brother made us all calendars highlighting some of the wacky holidays in each month. I was inspired by this calendar in the creation of this task. I picked a few of my favorite wacky holidays from December, January, and February and turned them into options. Enjoy!
This is a two book task. Choose two of the following options and read one book for each option. ONE book may have the genre Childrens or Kids.
Required: Identify the options.
Option 1: National Make Cut Out Snowflakes Days (December 27) – Bring out the paper and scissors, and cut out some paper snowflakes!
Read a book with at least one clearly visible six-sided* snowflake on the cover.
*A stylized snowflake with more than six sides would work as long as it is clearly a snowflake and you can count the sides, such as the eight-sided:
Required: Include the cover in your post.
Option 2: Repeal Day (December 5) and Bartender Appreciation Day (December 6) – The anniversary of the 21st Amendment, repealing prohibition, followed by a celebration of the bartending craft, I’ll drink to that!
Read a book where the author's first and last name initials can be found in BARTENDERS. Letters can be used only as often as they appear in the target word.
Option 3: National Bird Day (January 5) – I love birds and birding, and while this day is more about bringing attention to the exploitation of captive birds, I still call it a celebration of birds.
Read a book with "bird" or a specific type of bird in the title or subtitle. Plurals and possessives work.
ex. Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China, Bird Box, In Robin's Nest
Option 4: Cuddle Up Day (January 6) – the perfect excuse to snuggle up with someone on a cold winters’ night!
Read a book with the MPG Romance (standalone or embedded).
Option 5: Love Your Pet Day (February 20) – a day to pamper your pet, give them special treats, maybe even adopt a new pet!
Read a book with an animal that is typically considered an indoor pet (cat, dog, lizard, fish, hamster, etc.) on the cover.
Required: Include the cover in your post.
