I've already read my gift exchange book and don't want to have to read another book with a musical instrument on the cover.
All the other suggestions would be fine with me.

Janeylou | 3054 comments I think there must only be me that likes rock star books 😄😄😄


message 209: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4155 comments I have an Arc that is a rockstar book that I have to read and of course no instrument lol.

My vote would be snow or white shirt


message 210: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 32111 comments I was just coming to update tracking and saw your comments. I will just add a little input.

White shirts work. Sports equipment would need to be more specific, like hockey stick or baseball bat. Same goes for musical instrument, it would need to be something like a guitar or piano.

Ok , judging by Kats response above think we need to be bit more specific so going to say white shirt instead of snow

Agree ?

In our very first task description, MKat wrote "You can use any edition’s cover to qualify your book."
So I assume this is valid for all cover tasks?


message 224: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4155 comments Yeah, Kat always lets you use any cover for the qualification :)

I didn't because I'm overloaded with arcs right now so I've been avoiding NG. I did get book 2 previously and was shocked and so pleased!!

ETA: No I got book 2 of a different Hall series lol. I actually haven't even started this series

oh my gosh - no, I hadn't heard! What a shame. He was a great person, and did a lot for charity, how awful!
