A keyboard is fine.
It does look to be ebook only.

Pia I got it verified for length a while ago as I was going to read it for the Summer challenge

Thanks!

Emily | 782 comments Okay, I accept if this is disapproved, because it's SO small, but what about:

Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira

If you enlarge the cover, it looks like she's writing with what I assume is a pen or pencil. Thoughts?

It still looks like a pencil and the opposite end could be sharpened, OK

Books claimed for points in the SRC must comply with the Rules of the Challenge. Children's books are addressed in #4 under the title Book Formats and Page Numbers Explained.

This book does not appear in AR BookFinder. Therefore, it may only be used for task 5.10.

Marie-Anne | 950 comments Is this large enough on the cover to count? Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee (Dee Goong An) by Robert van Gulik
I have a paperback edition of the book, so it very clear, but the GR image is tiny and fuzzy.
On the desk, there is a sheet of writing paper with Chinese writing on it, there is an inkwell next to it, and there is a writing quill resting on a disk.
Please let me know if it is not clear enough.
Thanks!

That works. I can see the ink and quill or stylus next to it when I blow the cover up on Amazon. Because it is so small, please indicate that the book was approved in the help thread when you claim it so that Sandy doesn't have to reassess it.
