Maddy | 625 comments The Art of Death (Pittsburgh Vampires #11) by B.A. Stretke black and white enough? there is some red text but don't know if it matters

That one won’t work. The red text is part of the cover design. If the book has something like an award or publisher/audiobook Mark that is not black and white that will work.

Maddy | 625 comments Bummer. I will take another look through my books

Can you send me what you guys came up with? I am 100% a 90's kid and literally have NO idea about any of these but am really intrigued to see what they are lol.

Michael McMahan (mcmahamg) | 55 comments I've finished 4 books since I last posted here. I see that all the books have been claimed for this month, and I haven't read any that will fit the mini. I know I've said sorry a bunch of times, so nothing for me to say. With school winding down, I'll be much more on top of things in April, and I completely understand if you're frustrated with me.
