I was wondering if someone was going to mention this! I only have a couple books with birds on the cover in my TBR, but if I count the Penguin image, I have two more!

[MaryAnn (EmilyD1037)]

One of many bird covered books on my TBR.

Death at Bishop's Keep, A Victorian Mystery by Robin Page (black swan on the cover)

[Rachael]

[Pam]

I could do a whole challenge with birds on the covers! Here are a few I haven't seen mentioned:


Half Gods by Akil Kumarasamy

Pretty Birds by Scott Simon (Can also be used for Journalist prompt)

Death and the Penguin and it's sequel Penguin Lost by Andrey Kurkov

[Sonia]

I love this book - people come and leave messages in books in this second hand bookstore.

[Sonia]

I loved this book

Good to know--if I get stuck I'll read a Penguin, but first want to find one that actually had a bird as part of the cover art, etc.

The Swan Thieves by Elizabeth Kostova

[Brandon]

Penguin's young reader line, Puffin, could also work here.

If you want to keep it really simple, you could read a book about a type of bird, and the cover would probably correspond to the subject.

Forward Me Back to You by Mitali Perkins (would also work as a Book that Won an Award in 2019)

[Drakeryn]

Just saw this fantasy trilogy pop up in my Kindle recs:

[Juniper]

, by Kyo Maclear

[Juniper]

by Robert Galbraith

American Dirt looks good

[Mandi]

[Tanu]

I'm not doing this, but Stone Sky Gold Mountain would fit this. it's an Aussie book too :)

[Madeline]

[Cindy H.]

All of these are on my shelves and have birds on the cover

[Rachel]

I'm surprised how many books have birds on the cover! I'm trying to do the challenge as much as possible using books I already own, and discovered which I'd forgotten I had!

[Lilith]

Grief is the Thing with Feathers was fantastic. The Crow does make appearances.
It is sad and funny at the same time. If you are now or have ever gone through a loss, it will likely ring so true. It's a short read, and beautifully written. Highly recommended!
....Now I am tempted to reread it...

Literally can't believe I don't have any options. Two of my books even have the word "bird" in the title, but no image of a bird on the cover!! So, as the word is on the cover, I'm going with one of them - Blackbird House.

this edition does! It's in German, but it's the same novel, so you're all set :)

[Heather]

I have a lot of read books on my shelf that would go with this! I must like books with birds in the cover!

[Lark of The Bookwyrm's Hoard]

Here are a few of my options, from my actual shelves or my want-to-read list:



And probably more, but I don't have time to look through my whole TBR list, and any of these will do nicely.

I picked up The Island at the library on Thursday. It has a bird on the cover.



I'm also going to use it in my classic ABC challenge.
