Butterflycager: The Great Night- You earned +1 pt for adjective

Jayme: The Carnivorous Carnival- There was a -1 pt for cat (lion). It has to be an actual cat :)

Luckngrace: Beauty from Ashes- There is -1 pt for horror. If you can tell me how it is classified as horror I'll be willing to give you the point.

Kiri:
HP & Deathly Hallows- There was a -1 pt for lack of city/town
Dexter by Design- It's most the popular cover, so -4 pts for the points claimed on book cover.
How to Ditch your Fairy- No adjective in the title, therefore -1 pt
Spellfire- For the title not a proper name or an adjective, therefore -2 pts
Death of a Musketeer- For the book cover I didn't see a castle, so
-1 pt and -1 pt for no adjective
A Spy in the House- The book cover only shows a building, therefore
-1 for city or town
Dissolution: No adjective (-1 pt) or partial face (has to be popular cover)(-1 pt), but color is yellow for lettering (+1 pt)

LemonLinda: The Tea Rose- You earned +2 for plant and romance

Amy: A Tale of Two Cities- You earned +1 pt for partial faces
