Truitt_T | 805 comments Sorry to bother you with another question about a cover, Jane, but I wasn't sure if this would work:

Stealing the Wind (Mermen of Ea #1) by Shira Anthony

They're certainly humanoid....

Thanks!

As the task is a 'human body' I'm going to say no.

The first one is a bit 'weird' cos there isn't much of them and since the task is a human body - I'm saying no.

And yes to the second cover.

Jean | 869 comments What about this one

Hector (Outback Shifters #1) by Zoe Chant

I wasn’t going to ask since it seemed pretty straight forward but your answer above seemed to make me question whether a shifter would qualify even if they are wholly human on the cover.

Its the cover model I'm looking at, not what the book is about. So this unshifted cover model's body works :)

(Truitt's model would have been fine if it didn't have a tail ;)

AliciaJ | 1869 comments Does this one work?

The Bromance Zone by Lauren Blakely


message 72: by Shandrea (new)

Shandrea Freeman | 891 comments Looking at your examples and the previously asked questions, I originally thought this was going to work:

The Aristocrat by Penelope Ward

But as I continue to see the cover, I am second guessing if it will work or not...

Vi | 2798 comments Will this book Lady Violet Enjoys a Frolic (The Lady Violet Mysteries, #4) by Grace Burrowes work as it has flowers on the cover? Or this: The Party Crasher by Sophie Kinsella ?


message 80: by Ela (Mouse333) (new)

Ela (Mouse333) | 509 comments Can the plant/trees be drawn? For example, would this The Butterfly Effect (Boggy Creek Valley, #1) by Kelly Elliott work?


Roger - president of NBR United - (roger_presidentofnbrunited) | 2042 comments Love Comes Silently (Senses, #1) by Andrew Grey does this work?


message 82: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4062 comments Can the flowers be in stained glass like: The Last Sun (The Tarot Sequence, #1) by K.D. Edwards


message 83: by Truitt_T (new)

Truitt_T | 805 comments And another question - are flowers alone ok, or do the need to be demonstrably part of, say, a flowering shrub?

Thanks!

Sorry - I'm saying no to stained glass.


message 89: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24340 comments For anyone interested, it a no to tattoos or other likenesses, like paintings etc.

I am looking for the presence of a plant in the bookcover that is an actual plant - not a drawn likeness within the cover.

However drawn covers will work in this instance where the plant is an included feature of the landscape.


message 90: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4062 comments Just before I do another one, is it okay if you don't see the whole plant?

Elliot, Song of the Soulmate (Love, Austen, #5) by Anyta Sunday

This includes if you click on 'more' to expand out to a few more genres, but not when you click 'show all'.
