Question about the woman's face on the cover--should it be a front view or can it be a profile or three quarters view?
Mod
Good question ... you should be able to see at least half her face - eye, nose, mouth ... so profile or 3/4 view is fine.
Having lost electricity during Tropical Storm Isaias (4 days) I am finished! And my power is back on.
Mod
A DOUBLE celebration!

Lee - the requirement in the original post is to tell us the YEAR ...
I checked and The Song of Princes was first published in 1997, so it's fine.
Challenge complete. I got lucky...the books I had lined up to read this month fell right in with the challenge categories. Thanks for all the work you do to come up with these.
I'm finished! That was a fun challenge, BC. Thanks a lot! You always have good ideas :)

===========================================
All books used must be a minimum of 100 pages long - Page length determined by HARDCOVER 1st edition. If there is no Hardcover, then the most popular paperback governs page #.
You may read in any format - text, audio or e-book. If using audio or e-book I suggest using Amazon.com's "look inside" feature to get a page number for your quote.
You MUST finish the book before you can claim credit for completing a task.
A book may be used for only one task, even if it would satisfy the challenge for multiple tasks.
EXAMPLE of a successful post:
Title begins with a letter in BLUE: - Unless You Can Be a Unicorn ✔ - 31May19
If you'd like to be recognized as finishing, the challenge, please post a new comment alerting me to your finish. I do not get notifications when you edit your original post.
Have Fun!
