15.6 - Rock Around the Clock

July 9 1955- Rock Around the Clock becomes the first rock & roll song to reach #1. Read a book with a clock face on the cover. The display may be analog or digital; a pocketwatch, wristwatch, alarm clock, grandfather clock, building clock, etc. but the clock hands or the time must be visible.
Long Spoon Lane (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #24) by Anne Perry Big Ben with hands showing, The 13th Hour by Richard Doetsch
Required: Include the cover
