Kendra | 2088 comments Emily, does this count as animal print?

The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen

In the book, the kid reads fairytales with his mother, so in context the kid on the cover is 'real' and the mermaid (with drawn fish scales) isn't. My team already used it for a different (but easier to fill) prompt, so if it doesn't count, it doesn't count.

That works, I think.

L Y N N (book_music_lvr) | 1025 comments I just want to check, but according to my interpretation from this discussion thread, I believe Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are? by Frans de Waal would NOT qualify for the animal print cover prompt. Is that correct? Thanks!

Correct, it would not qualify. Sorry Lynn!

No problem! I was just compiling a listing of possibilities for our team! Glad I finally seem to understand this prompt! LOL

Irene (irene5) | 904 comments Would this cover work for the person with long hair on the cover?
The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2) by Dan Brown

You can't see her hair on the cover, and the Mona Lisa isn't technically a person... But she does have long hair and is a painting of a person xD

Irene, the hair would need to show, I think, for it to count.

Johanne, I'll count it.

Kendra | 2088 comments I'm reading NeuroScience Fiction which is a book that looks at various scifi movies and how science is bringing them closer to reality or proving them wrong. So does it count as a paranormal book?

If it discusses aliens and ghosts, then sure.

It's more AI, mind reading, virtual reality, & cyborgs.

It also works for a dragon prompt, so I think my team might use it there instead.

Yea, that wouldn't be paranormal so much.
