No problem! :) It was my first post for this challenge. Since Goodreads changed to the new UI, I can't post from my laptop, so I have to save up my task points for when I'm on my desktop and have some spare time. I hope that posting several tasks at one time doesn't make your job harder.

Jeane, Maude isn't doing the points anymore - Heather is doing them.

But I can answer your question. No, that doesn't count. Sorry. Has to be a full body - head, arms, torso, legs.

Also, please remember to add the title along with the covers. :)

[Jayme(theghostreader)]

If there is more than one young protagonist, can we count a point for each one?

[Jackie]

No, it's just one point.
