It doesn't look like your question was answered, Kelly. My understanding from the intro is that cover images can count.

Read a book that contains a word in the title or the cover that fits one of the 25 categories

I believe the intro includes the cover image. I, for one, am using cover pics for a few categories.

Important guideline

Hi everyone! I'm in the process of updating the list of participants with their current status and noted that someone has deleted their post. Please, no matter what happens, DO NOT DELETE POSTS! You are free to withdraw from the challenge anytime with or without informing your challenge leader, but in no circumstance, deletion of posts is allowed. It creates a lot of confusion in our internal tracking.

To those who asked, pictures/illustrations on the cover count so grab those copies you had in your mind.

Also, the updated list will be available tomorrow! Until then, continue spying! :)
