Romance Lovers for the Challenge Impaired

RLftCI: “Z - A Cover Art Image Search ~ 2014��

Who doesn't love bookcover art?!

Consequently, we who love Cover Hunts will again be at it again.

What do you see on the following bookcovers?

�������������������������� ���� ����

Certainly “car,�� “brake lights,��, “c���Ƿɲ���, and “s�ܲԲ��������������, but what about the “feather earrings,�� “Sovereign’s Sceptre,�� “reflection,�� or the “universal ‘it’s a secret�� sign,�� ... I guess that depends on which letter you need to satisfy.

Here are the particulars. Needless to say, you may ask for help! ��

Duration: One year �� indicate your start date. However, don't start until January 1, 2014.

Goal: Read one book for each letter of the alphabet. So, a different “cover image�� must be chosen for each letter. State the image you have chosen for each when you list your books. For the letter x, you may use a word with x within it. (Thanks, Susan, for pointing this out. ��)

You do NOT have to use the challenge option on our Home Page, but it is there, if you want.

Rules: You may post your books in advance or as you read them. Edit your list as you read or re-posting with each update. You may use re-reads. You may use any format: paper, e or audio. You may use books from any genre. Anthologies are fine, if you read all the stories. Please indicate how many you have read related to how many you plan to read.

You DON'T have to read in reverse-alphabetical order �� we just like to do things backwards in this group; therefore, I posted them that way below for you to copy - just for fun.

I'm not sure. Would that be a setee? I don't think I spelled that correctly, but autocorrect isn't giving me anything else LOL or maybe a chaise?
