This challenge starts on April 11th, 2013 and ends on June 11th 2013.

There are so many beautiful book covers so this challenge is dedicated to book covers. It doesn't matter what genre it is. Choose at least 7 books, each book from one of these categories:

1. Food on Cover
2. Diamonds or Stones on Covers
3. Eye on Cover An eye can be anywhere on the cover, it can be on a face, too.
4. Couple on Cover
5. Mask on Cover
6. House or Building on Cover
7. Shoe/s on Cover
8. Clock on Cover
9. Rain or Water on Cover
10. Face or Whole person on Cover
11. Rose on Cover
12. Animal on Cover
13. Grass on Cover
14. Girl in a dress on Cover
15. Book/s on Cover

You can find books within these categories in listopia!

When you participate in this challenge, leave a comment below and tell us which categories you have chosen and the links to those books. You can add books as you read and just edit the original comment (to edit a comment, click on EDIT on your original comment).
You can tell us your thoughts about the books, but it isn't mandatory.

Update your progress as you read(for example: 5/7 read).

It is okay if you don't finish this challenge on time. It is supposed to be about the fun of challenging yourself!

I can't wait to see what books you will choose :)

message 14: by Norelle (new)

Norelle (onefabknitter) | 13 comments do we add the cover and book on here?or just tick book challenge in our to read list that pops up?


message 15: by Ester (new)

Ester (ester395) | 99 comments Mod
You can just post it here in comments.


message 16: by Cathy (new)

Cathy | 6 comments So, this doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the book or even the quality of the cover. It's sort of a scavenger hunt? Is this right?


message 17: by Sainabou (new)

Sainabou lol in a nutshell, pretty much, I think that is what makes it fun


message 18: by Ester (new)

Ester (ester395) | 99 comments Mod
Well I think that great books have those things on their covers and also some of the covers are gorgeous. But it is kind of like a scavenger hunt.


message 19: by [deleted user] (new)

This looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to try and go for all of them.


message 20: by Sainabou (new)

Sainabou Norelle, you can do it how I did, just edit the post and add your books :)

Ester (ester395) | 99 comments Mod
It's okay that you won't finish on time, you can still read the books you have chosen. You guys can also discuss the books you've read in these comments :)


message 29: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Thanks Ester this is loads of fun. I've discovered so many new authors that I really enjoy. And many of the books I've read recently I've finished faster than I ever thought I would.
