16 - A book that has a book on the cover

I went with The Library of the Unwritten and loved it. It's this super interesting concept of a library of all of the unwritten books of the world, and located in hell.
I read Fahrenheit 451 for this! The 60th anniversary edition has a book on the front cover. I loved it so much! It could have fit in a few different categories, but I thought this category would be harder to fulfill than the others it could've fallen under.
I just finished The Bookish Life of Nina Hill for this category. It was a nice little feel good type book. It’s not my normal type of read, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. I’m also 29, which is the same age as Nina in the book, and you can tell a lot of the references were intended for someone in the age group. A Pokémon reference was even thrown in.
I finished this one for the challenge:
. Now need to see if I can fit the other two of the trilogy in.

I am reading By Its Cover for this prompt. 
I like the Commissario Brunetti series and am glad I found this.
Paladin's Grace is a fun romance in a fantasy setting and has a book on the cover (in the upper left corner). It's also a 2020 release and the author, T. Kingfisher, has fauna in her name.
I was amazed at the number of options there were for this prompt. I finally settled on "Finders Keepers" by Stephen King, since I read "Mr. Mercedes" quite a while ago but never finished the trilogy.
I love Juliet Blackwell's books. She is thorough in her research, and her series are very absorbing. I read A Cast-Off Coven- the books are on the shelves behind the dresses. Really enjoyed this book, and highly recommend the author!
I'm reading Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak for this prompt. There are two images of books in the top right corner of the hardcover book I have. So far it's been really good!
I just finished The Book Charmer by Karen Hawkins. I loved the quaint setting of this one--it reminded me of the show Gilmore Girls with a magical realism twist!
I'm going old school with
, which has a scroll on the cover, a.k.a. what books looked like before the invention of the leaf-through bind-up! Also fitting that it's in a manga, a modern extension of the oldest form of literature: comics & illustrations :)
I read The Lost and Found Bookshop for this prompt. It would also work for author with more than 20 published books.
I ended up reading Chronicles of the Last Liturian: Book 1 - The Diary of Oliver Lee by Kenneth Rogers Jr. which I think is self-pubbed (I got it from the author at a con) and no picture on GR. sigh. Mostly I read it because I'm trying to clear books off my shelf. It was more like an anthology and was okay but not really my thing.
I read The Eyre Affair. I read it many years ago but had not read Jane Eyre so I didn't get the references. Now that I've read Jane Eyre it makes much more sense. The series is always good for a re-read.
I read
for this prompt. I've been meaning to read it for a while. Stinking cute. Also a breath of fresh air after reading
which I didn't like.
I read Paperbacks from Hell: The Twisted History of '70s and '80s Horror Fiction. The cover features the actual covers of horror paperbacks, so I figure that counts. Also, very funny and interesting even if, like me, you are not into horror books. I see it more as a (very) quirky history book than a horror book.Bonus : It is also a quick read.
