Thoughtful Thursday: Identify last month’s covers


February 16th, 2012  Posted by Kat Hooper

Time to play Identify The Cover! Today’s covers all come from books we reviewed in January 2012. Once you identify a book cover, in the comment section list the number of the cover (1-12), the author, and the book title. If you get it correct, you’ll be entered into a drawing to win a book of your choice from our teetering stacks.

Please just identify one cover that has not been correctly identified so far. That way, others will have a chance to play. Thanks and Good Luck!
