F is for Flowers

A book-cover scavenger hunt is this year's theme. Please see this post for general rules on how to participate. 

Today's item is:

Flowers

My choice:

How to Walk Away--Katherine Center

A bit of an obvious choice, I thought, but one that's easy to find. But it has so much to choose from! I had so many in my Goodreads list that I had read and many I want to read! This was one of my more recent reads, so it was fresh in my mind.

Now it's your turn. Provide a link in the comments (from Amazon, Goodreads or other sites) to a book with the item of the day. Just naming the book in the comments is also acceptable. Remember, you cannot use the same one in my post. Otherwise, just comment on the post. Good Luck!

E is for Eyewear

Today's item is:

Eyewear

My choice:

Where'd You Go, Bernadette--Maria Semple

Another thing I have seen a lot of on covers. I once noted how it always seems to be girls wearing glasses on covers, and that some show pictures or the title on the lenses. I still have my copy of this at home, and have read it twice. I also saw the movie twice. This is one thing that made me choose eyewear for the scavenger hunt, as well as many other books I have read (or have even just seen) with eye glasses on the cover, often dominating the cover artwork.

Now it's your turn. Provide a link in the comments (from Amazon, Goodreads or other sites) to a book with the item of the day. Just naming the book in the comments is also acceptable. Remember, you cannot use the same one in my post. Otherwise, just comment on the post. Good Luck!

Today's item is:

Dresses

My choice:

The Selection--Kiera Cass

Dresses, especially fancy gowns, appear a lot on book covers. This is especially true for historical-fiction novels. It's been more than 10 years since I read this series. However, remembering the covers on each of the books is what made me choose this as the theme of the day, as well as having seen so many covers with fancy dresses. I know I have at least one such book at home that has yet to be read. I have discussed dresses on covers before, in this post from 2024.

Now it's your turn. Provide a link in the comments (from Amazon, Goodreads or other sites) to a book with the item of the day. Just naming the book in the comments is also acceptable. Remember, you cannot use the same one in my post. Otherwise, just comment on the post. Good Luck!

C is For Cats

A book-cover scavenger hunt is this year's theme. Please see this post for general rules on how to participate.

Today's item is:

Cats

My choice:

How to Paint a Cat--Rebecca M. Hale (from the Cats and Curios Mystery series)

I just had to include this one since I like cats. So many books have had cats on the covers, whether it's a book about cat or a cozy mystery involving cats. I've read quite a lot of those mysteries. I chose this one: I had so many to choose from, it wasn't easy. I don't know why I chose this one. I have several books in the series and son't know why I'm still holding onto to them. Not exactly something I plan to re-read, but that's a matter for another time.  

Now it's your turn. Provide a link in the comments (from Amazon, Goodreads or other sites) to a book with the item of the day. Just naming the book in the comments is also acceptable. Remember, you cannot use the same one in my post. Otherwise, just comment on the post. Good Luck!

B is for Books

A book-cover scavenger hunt is this year's theme. Please see this post for general rules on how to participate.

Today's item is:

Books

My choice:

The Bookshop on the Corner--Jenny Colgan

There have been many books that have shown book(s) on the cover. And the topic is all about books, so this seemed an appropriate choice. This was hard to choose a cover for, as there have been so many books with book on the cover. I looked through my Goodreads history and this was the first that popped up. I liked that it has more than one books on the cover. 

Now it's your turn. Provide a link in the comments (from Amazon, Goodreads or other sites) to a book with the item of the day. Just naming the book in the comments is also acceptable. Remember, you cannot use the same one in my post. Otherwise, just comment on the post. Good Luck!
