I never realized how many covers had fog on the front of them until I started this challenge.
Lisa Kay wrote: "I never realized how many covers had fog on the front of them until I started this challenge."Could some of them be Mist, Cloud, Smoke or Haze?
LOL! You rock, CaroB.! I thought of smoke, but I wasn't sure b/c I haven't read this one. What do you think?
Also: Vapor, Smog, Condensation, Murkiness, Precipitation.
Lisa Kay wrote: "LOL! You rock, CaroB.! I thought of smoke, but I wasn't sure b/c I haven't read this one. What do you think?"I think I'd classify that as smoke or vapour. I've just finished that one, and am wondering if it might possibly be a spirit..? Vapour should cover it...
What the hell is this? A screw driver?
You ladies have provied me so many idea's that I can't even begin to get my list together. I love going through my books for challenges and such!

Lisa Kay, how do you keep on top of which posts have been updated? Do you keep having to go back and check all posts? Would it be easier for you if we posted each change in a new post?

I'm having trouble finding "E"s. Maybe I use Taita's clever idea an put "elegant" in front of something.
Weren't there some Explosive Pyrotechnics in the background of
?
Yes, there were, CaroB! You are so clever.
or an embrace? LOL, I'm just looking back over my books for ideas as well.
That's a good idea. I haven't got to the erotic book with the tattoo on the front. Hmmmm...
