Laura Ruth Loomis | 342 comments For romance fans, anything with "Date" in the title would work! ("Dating" might be stretching it.)

I'll probably go with Strange Fruit by Lillian Smith.

Dea (maidmirawyn) | 230 comments I'm a judge for a high school reading quiz bowl, so I have to read ten YA books in January and February.

One fits here: The Extraordinary Disappointments of Leopold Berry by Ransom Riggs. I like to fit as many of my Readers Rally books into the challenge as possible, so yay!

Sasha  Wolf (sashajwolf) | 256 comments We're hoping to move house next year, so this seems like a good time to read Home: How To Love It, Live In It, And Find Joy In It from the Sunday Times Bestselling Author by India Knight. This is the cover:

It's a bit difficult to see, but there are dishes of fruit on the table.

Dea (maidmirawyn) | 230 comments I know some people like to mix in some books they can read with their kids.

Unsettled by Reem Faruqi is the story of a girl who moves from Karachi, Pakistan to Peachtree City (Atlanta), Georgia. It's all in the form of short poems she keeps in her journal. I read it as a middle school judge in our school district's reading quiz bowl and thoroughly enjoyed it.

There are mangos and a slice of lemon among the items trailing behind her on the cover.

Jennifer T. (jent998) | 252 comments I own sooooooo many books, can’t find one with a fruit!

Does this look like fruit on the cover? Bats eat fruit don’t they?
Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker

They do, but I think those are flowers on the cover?
