I is for Ice

 

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

Today's item:

Ice

My choice:

Between Shades of Gray--Ruta Sepetys

Ice in the form or snow, ice cubes, etc. I must admit I was hesitant about choosing this because of a certain organization currently in the news. I remembered how this title was easily confused with a similarly titled erotic romance book (I think you know what that one is). The opening line for Between Shades of Gray reads " They took me in my nightgown," which was enough to add to the confusion of the two titles. Read here.

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!

H is for Houses

 

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:

Houses

My choice:

Dear Santa--Debbie Macomber

Having used this cover in this post is what made me choose this one. Again, a lot to choose from, including at least two I have at home (one already read, one to be read). For this one, it can be all or part of a house (as you can see in this one).

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!

G is for Game Pieces

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

Today's item:

Game Pieces

My choice:

Breaking Dawn--Stephenie Meyer

It was hard to find an item for this letter. But when I remembered the chess piece on the cover of this one, I chose game pieces. And this is one everyone is familiar with. Any sort of game piece is acceptable.

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!

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

 

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:

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!
