GracieKat | 31 comments Would any of these books work for a beach scene? Beneath Still Waters by Matthew J. Costello
Covenant (Leisure Fiction) by John Everson
Sacrifice by John Everson

GracieKat | 31 comments Can someone please tell me if these work? If they don't I'd like to start looking at different ones.

Jackie | 125 comments Would True Believer by Nicholas Sparks work for this. It's kinda beach-y but debatable.


message 55: by Felina (new)

Felina | 0 comments Grace - Beneath Still Waters will not work because it just shows water and no beach. The other 2 are debatable because they seem to show caves and rocks but not really a beach. If you can't get Cynthia to respond try asking her to look at this thread in the general questions thread for this challenge.

No, I only have the one that I posted. Oh well, if that doesn't work, I'll just skip that one.

Katy | 790 comments How about The Map of True Places by Brunonia Barry - she's standing on a beach but it's winter so it doesn't look beachy in the fun sense :)

OK -- it would help if you explain again when you claim points

Jenna | 82 comments Would this count? House Rules by Jodi Picoult
This might be a lake beach, not ocean, but I wasn't sure if it made a difference.
