5.7 National Cocoa Day

December 13th is National Cocoa Day - as if we needed an excuse for chocolate. Don't forget the marshmallows!

Read a book with a hot beverage on the cover, such as coffee, tea, cocoa/hot chocolate, hot cider, etc. The beverage should be visible; no empty containers.

Examples:
Required: Post the Cover

Will this work:



The knife through the cup shows coffee leaking out.

That is an interesting way to make the beverage visible. That book will work.

The whipped cream is visible, but not the liquid.

Would this work? I interpret the dark color at the top of the mug to be coffee :)

Thank you!

Would one of these work?

Morning

I was wondering if this would work:



At least one of the cups of coffee bottom right is steaming and looks to have coffee in.

Thanks.

Hi - would you mind answering my question, too? I’m wondering about the covers, because in the first one you can see a cup with liquid, but I’m not sure if you agree that it’s hot. In the second cover there is a coffee mug with liquid on the desk, but it might not be clear enough?
Sorry if this is a stupid question 🫣

Sorry, I was trying to decide on that first book and I popped in just before goin to bed when I answered the other one.

I don't know that the first book has enough information to say whether any of those drinks are hot.

But the second book will work. After I could zoom in enough, I believe that is a cup of coffee on the desk.

Great, thank you! That makes sense to me :)

Would this cover work? You can see the steam rising off the cup.

That will work!

Would this work, the coffee cup is being spilt and the very top of the liquid can be seen on the rim of the cup

Emily wrote: "Would this work, the coffee cup is being spilt and the very top of the liquid can be seen on the rim of the cup "

Yes, that works.

Would either of these work?

These books do not work. The task requires that the drink be visible. I can't see anything in the mugs or any indications like steam that show that the cups have the drink in them.

Quick query on : it's hard to tell from the thumbnail, but on the physical copy I've got it's clear there's green tea in the cup on the right. Would this be acceptable?

I went to Amazon and was able to enlarge the cover, and it is evident there is a beverage in the cup-so I say yes it is acceptable.

Fabulous, thank you very much!

how about ?
You can't see the liquid, but there is steam coming out the spout of the teapot

seriously... the one time I actually do more than 50% on the mmpb instead of the audiobook lol
it was an accident, I meant to read more of this edition :D

I am just a helper-but I recall the rule being it is the book you actually read. However, I am going to refer it to the mods so hold on.

I see the steam on the cover you read. So you are good to go.

Can I get approval for please?

After some magnification help from Amazon, there is tea in that cup. Book is approved.
