S is for Shoes

 

#AtoZChallenge 2026 letter S


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:

Shoes

My choice: 

Orange is the New Black--Piper Kerman



This was the first thing that came to mind. The copy I read was from a thrift store. I found it not too long after the series premiered and was glad not to have found a movie tie-in cover. Shoes are a popular book-cover item. A few years ago, I wrote this post in which I asked if there was any rhyme or reason for the shoes on covers.

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!

The first thing I thought was Cinder by Marissa Meyer - the first version as newer editions of this series does not feature shoes.

Have a lovely day.

"The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" and its sequel, "The Book Woman's Daughter" by Kim Richardson, both have shoes on the cover.
