YAY! I cannot wait to see what this task is!
I'd like to use
for the April showers option 3 (storm on the front). The cover image shows foreboding dark clouds rolling in over a choppy ocean.
Can I use Not Wanted On The Voyage for Option A.1.? It's a retelling of the Noah story, so it's more set during a flood than specifically about the flood.
can I check on
- i'm not sure if the cover shows enough of the storm, or not - but its set during a huge blizzard and they are all stuck in a hotel - for either Option A, 1 or 3
would these work for storm on the cover?
Yes to everyone so far. :)It's fun seeing all the books everyone comes up with. :)
For Option A3, I'd like to use Uprising. It shows white lightning around the lake and buildings. I have the book in hand. Not sure how well you can see the lightning on your computer.

for a storm on the cover
Ashlea, that will work.JennRenee, it's hard to tell if it's snowflakes or just light sparkles. Is it easier to see on the real book? Or do you know there is a storm in the story that would "back up" the cover?
Is it just the one book, for April OR May, or one each?

up close its snow. The book takes place in the middle of winter.
JennRenee, I think since you don't actually see storm clouds in the picture, I will have to say it doesn't work. Sorry.Sarah, just one book. :)
not sure if this will work for a pic of storm...there is lightning and some scary "storm" like clouds?
Thanks
Jecca and Peebee, no problem!Sorry for not getting back.
Would
work for A.3. Storm on cover?Thanks!
Definitely -- with the lightning! looks like a cool book! :)
