Ummm, Cher - Time Traveler's Wife definitely has a human image on the cover. Granted, not the face, but an image nonetheless.

In the interest of honesty and disclosure. Some of these are carry overs from last month's challenge which i wasn't able to quite finish, i was able to finish 7 out of the 10 from last months. I hope it's okay i have carry overs.

Hi Lauren,

Sorry - no carry overs (they're supposed to be books read during that month), but if I've got a book started that I want to use in a challenge I'll read the equivalent number of pages of a book that's completely non challenge related.

So if I'm 50 pages into a book, I'll read 50 pages of something else.

If you haven't started them at all, even if you posted them for last month's challenge, you are more than welcome to use them for this challenge. It works like roll-over minutes...LOL...

Nita (gillnit) Finished His Darkest Hunger. It was fine. The H/h were both a bit annoying and not completely likable. But I plan on reading the next in the series because I want to know what happens next and I liked some of the side characters.
