15.6 - Chasin' Those Clouds Away

Since clouds are made of water vapor, read a book with clouds on the cover-

The Twin by Gerbrand Bakker Cloud Chamber A Novel by Michael Dorris Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer A Caribbean Mystery (Miss Marple, #10) by Agatha Christie Moonglass by Jessi Kirby


Required: Please include the cover when you post

It's hard to see it as clouds on the cover as opposed to dusk/shade, but if it is clearer on the actual book I'll take it

This one seems too abstract- do you have the book in hand? is that a boat? (clouds below the boat?) If you can explain it, maybe I can see it

To me - it looks like she's sitting on a boat, he's going over; below them there's water and to the left is either fog or clouds. If it doesn't work for you, that's fine by me; I was just running it by you ...
