5.9 - Elizabeth Swann
Why is the rum gone? Elizabeth Swann might be more courageous than Captain Jack Sparrow, but she certainly gets captured a lot! In honor of Swann and Sparrow, read a book with a bird on the cover or the name of a specific type of bird in the title/subtitle. Ex: The Sparrow; We'll Always Have Parrots; The Eagle Has Landed; H is for Hawk

Required: If using the cover option, include the cover in your post.

can the bird be part of a word e.g The Dovekeepers

No, if you're using the title option it has to be the name of a specific bird, not compound word that contains the name of a bird. The Dovekeepers will still work for the task, though. It has birds on the cover.

LOL i never saw the birds Kristina thanks

Will this count for a bird on the cover?

Yes, that works.

Do possessives work- for example, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?

Yes, that works.

If you look above the title there are birds above the O - they are hard to notice at first so I wanted to make sure it works.

I had to go to Amazon to get the cover big enough but, yes, I see the birds. Please reference this approval when you claim your book for the task so Sandy doesn't have to go through the approval process again.

Do the birds have to be real, or can they be mythological (phoenix is the specific bird in question)?

Thanks

Yes, that works.

Can you verify that the birds on the wallpaper are visible for this book?

Yes, that works. Point out the birds when you post, though. I never would have seen them if you didn't tell me they were there. ;-)

I almost didn't see them myself - only reason I even took a closer look was thinking there might be a bird in the bird cage.

I didn't think about this until, while reading the book, the Cormorant becomes a recurring image. Does this work for a bird on the cover?

Yes, that works.

Can you see the birds on either side of the title, inside the banner?

I can, yes. That works.

Yes, but point it out when you post.
