The dog has a playful grin and golden toenails (Spot is a she). The taxi cab is wired so that its headlights illuminate Spot when it gets dark. When it rains, the cab's wipers turn on.

How is this for headlights?

The key word is "prominent", and these headlights are not prominent. Sorry.

K. How about this?

[Katrisa]

Or if I can find the hardcover instead of the paperback which has the car from the front instead of from behind will that work?

[Janice, Moderator]

Both of those options are better Katrisa. While they aren't large, the light shining from them really emphasizes them.

[Katrisa]

I guess I'll just wait and see which cover my library has!

[Katrisa]

the hell's highway one I just happened to notice while scrolling through the books they added to audible's cyber Monday sale and it was only $3 so I'll probably get that for a backup

[Peggy]

The Thursday next series has several books with headlights.

This is the cover I have for book 2 in the series

[Janice, Moderator]

That's a great example, Peggy.

[Trudy]

Here is another headlight option.

[Sharon]

Found this one for a headlight option.

For books with Bone(s) in the title, almost all of the Body Farm Series books by Jefferson Bass do.

If you are there in the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, here is one. An Echo in the Bone,
this is book #7.

The first book in The Mortal Instruments series is City of Bones. This is the first one to read for the Shadowhunters Chronicles by Cassandra Clare.

The first Nora Kelley series book is Old Bones.

The second book in The Unwanteds Quest series by Lisa McMann is Dragon Bones. If you are looking for plenty of 1st-in-series books just type "Dragon Bones". ;o)

#1 in series and title is Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor

The second book in Nora Roberts's Chronicles of The One is Of Blood and Bone

The fourth book in the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs is Bone Crossed

And last, book #5 in the Penn Cage series by Greg Iles is The Bone Tree

[Ayacchi]

And here I thought the 2nd task was traffic light! Lol.

[Dawn]

Headlights are way harder to find than I thought they would be. Thanks for the suggestions here, thankfully my library has the Thurday Next book with the headlights.

[Lanelle]

Here's a headlights cover that I think I'll go with -

Oh, thanks, Peggy. This book is up next for me for this series, and I actually happen to have this very book, with this very same cover on the shelf right next to my desk. ;o)

[Peggy]

It's next up for me too. I was meant to read it for the museum challenge but at the last minute found another book to fit the task I wanted to use it for. Yay for me!

[Janice, Moderator]

Re: About - Headlights on cover. I was just scrolling through today's Kindle deals, and noticed Dead of Winter


It's $1.99 today, and who knows what price it will be tomorrow. It's also book 3 in a series. But, it's an option.

[Ashley]

Would this work for the headlights cover?

Ashley wrote: "Would this work for the headlights cover?

Sorry, you don't see the headlight at all, just the light from them. In the examples above, you could also see the headlight.

[Ashley]

Ok. Thanks!

[Lanelle]

Can the headlights come from a train?

According to a google search, locomotives have headlights, so yes.

Yay! Thank you, Janice.

Task 2 - Headlights

Would this book work for this task?

You can't see the headlights at all. There is light which is presumably from the headlights, but that's just an assumption. It might just be cover design. Sorry.

The side part is that the same image, without the title, appears on the spine, and the headlights are really visible...

Hé! We win some and we lose some... ;) back to the drawing table

[Janice, Moderator]

Yes, we're restricted to the covers.

[Viji]

2. About:
Read a book with headlights prominently on the cover

Would work for the task?

Meanwhile I keep looking for one or two alternatives.

[AmyK]

Ok Janice, How about this one for headlights. It's only one but its prominent :)

That's awesome! Yes.

[♞ Pat]

Headlights - do they have to be lit?

I'm looking at this one .

[Janice, Moderator]

They don't need to be lit. Your book will work for this task.

[Katrisa]

I saw this on Chirp today and thought I'd check if it would work for headlights

[Janice, Moderator]

Pretty small but I will accept it because I think it was a hard prompt.

[Katrisa]

Thanks! I'm not sure if this is the one I'll end up with but I'll buy it for $4 and keep it for in case

[Wanda]

The Last Tiara

This book has a dual storyline. The modern line is set in New York. Would it be acceptable for book set in New York?

[Peggy]

It is if more than 50% is set in New York. Most dual timeline stories I've read were set more in the past then in the present though.

[Wanda]

Thank you

[Katrisa]

How about this one for headlights?

[Janice, Moderator]

Katrisa wrote: "How about this one for headlights? "

Yes, I'll accept it. :)

[Katrisa]

Cool! I didn't choose it for this prompt because the GR cover that shows up is different, but when I got the actual book from my library it had this cover!

[Janice, Moderator]

Love when that happens!

[Jayme, Moderator]

Hi Janice will this work for prominent headlights?

[Janice, Moderator]

Jayme wrote: "Hi Janice will this work for prominent headlights? "

I'll accept it. I've been more lenient on the "predominant" criteria because it's hard to find a cover that fits. So cross out that word for this task.

[Jayme, Moderator]

Thanks Janice. :)
