Lindsey (lindseypinzy) so if you will do lioness for option 1, will you do queen? as in The Red Queen?

also, for black and white cover: Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris

The cover works great for the Zebra option. The Red Queen works for the Lion option because, it sounds like there is a king that is one of the main characters in the story.

Lindsey (lindseypinzy) thank you :)

Joy Marie | 140 comments For Option 1 African Lion, would the book Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood work? There is a drawing of a lion eating a deer at the bottom of the cover, but it is very small and I wasn't sure if you would count it.
Thanks!

That will work, just mention where it is on the book when you post.

Riona (rionafaith) I may have changed my mind. Would this work for zebra?

Ms.soule (mrssoule) Does Skinny Bitch A No-Nonsense, Tough-Love Guide for Savvy Girls Who Want to Stop Eating Crap and Start Looking Fabulous! by Rory Freedman fit the Zebra black-and-white cover option?

If there is a king that is A main character, doesn't have to be THE main character it will work. The king would have to show up through out the book, not just in one or two chapters.

Laurie | 910 comments Would Wildcase A Rail Black Novel by Neil Russell work for 4. Wildebeest? Foolish question, I know, but it is a compound word!

I'm sorry, only plurals and possessives for the word options. It works for the African Elephant option though (because it has 512 pages)!

Hi, is this enough pink? I have been looking all over for a good book with a pink cover! Fingers crossed this one is pink enough for the flamingo option.

It's kind of optical illusion-ish. It looks more black and white when the picture is bigger, but when its small it looks kinda pink. I'll take it for either Zebra or Flamingo.

Sheila (sheilaj) | 2221 comments Hi Valorie, I've got a couple of Zebras to run past you.

Lethal by Sandra Brown

OR

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Would either of these work for your task?

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain would work, the other cover seems more grey and white.
