I'm in, but I have a question: On this cover
, I'm guessing the wolf is supposed to be Charles in his wolf form. Do I count this as a cover with a single female, since he is not in human form, or as a book with a couple, since he is her mate?

Easy enough? Be sure to post the covers for proof.
To post covers, click on the upper right hand of the text box (add book/author), search for your book, at the bottom, select 'cover' instead of 'link, and then click 'add'.
You may post your list anytime, but no reading before March 1.
