You'll need to use the addbook/author link that is JUST above the comment box to add the book links or in some cases the COVER.
You can go back and edit your original post ... once you open it to edit, put your cursor in the spot where you want to add the link ... then click on the add book/author button. When it opens you'll type in the title of the book you want in the search box. When your list populate you'll see there's a place AT THE BOTTOM of that little box to check either LINK or COVER (if the challenge is to have a cover that is a particular color, you want to post the cover). On the right of the particular book you want is an ADD button. If the edition shown is not the exact edition you want to link you can click the other editions button that is right beneath the ADD button and more editions will appear. You can then link the specific edition you want.
You might also want to specify what option you are completing under each category. e.g. Character has a flower name vs Flowers on the cover
We're happy to have you join us!

Jenne here are a couple questions...Is this dress pink and if so would this cover be pink enough?
Would rose petals work for flower on the cover?
Is there a minimum page limit?
I read a book where the main character goes by Miranda but there is a flashbacks scene that talks about how her family used to call her Rose but they refuse to after her mom died. Would you accept that for flower name?
Thanks
hahaha nice. Thank you for your answers.
