Keri | 602 comments I see I’m still marked for black cover. Please see post 264.

I’m not sure if No Exit from my above post could be considered though? If so that could replace it. 57.4% on TinEye but I know that’s not the defining source anymore…

Heather Moore | 405 comments I am reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami which is set in Japan and has a character with a "W" name.

I am also reading Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton which is set in Havana. I am halfway through the book, and everything has taken place in Cuba, but I am not entirely sure that there won't be scenes in the US, so I don't know if it will work. I think it would also work for a classic painting cover.

I plan to read A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1) by V.E. Schwab next for a white cover.


message 297: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer | 132 comments I finished If the shoe fits, and can next read Lost in Tokyo for the mini challenge #3, the book takes place in Tokyo, Japan.
