Magpie Murders

Bird Box

Cartwheel

I'd recommend The Penelopiad, a retelling of the Odyssey from Penelope's perspective (Odysseus' wife).

does the prominence of the bird matter? my copy if city of the beasts by isabel allende has a tiny silhouette of a bird on a branch that is not the focus of the cover, but it's a bird on the cover all the same

[Anne]

I think count it. It is a bird on the cover and that is exactly what the prompt says.

[Maxie]

I'm definitely using The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt for this one ;v;

[S.M.]

I just read The Land of Stories: Worlds Collide by Chris Colfer and it has a bird on the cover!Chris Colfer

[Lilith]

has birds on the cover!

Soft in the Head has a great first line too! "I've decided to adopt Margueritte. She'll be eighty-six any day now so there seemed no point in putting it off . Old people have a tendency to die."

And there's an upside down image on the cover.

Many thanks to the person who recommended this book. I can't remember your post or thread, but I'm in love with this book already. That's why I love this group!

I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS

[Sarah]

I'm reading Dear Edward for this prompt!!!! It's great!

[Tracy]

I crossed this prompt off on Monday with White Bird .

Every time I think I've had enough WWII fiction, I read one and love it. This one actually made me cry because it's just not fair in so many ways.

My original choice for this was The Unhoneymooners and now I'm annoyed because suddenly the search function is down and I can't link, lol.
Anyways, we'll see how the year goes. If I keep up my speed I may come back for this one.

The Astonishing Color of After
By: Emily x. R. Pan
Prompt: a book with a bird on the cover.

This book took me about two weeks to read because it is about a child learning to deal with the death of her mother, never a lighthearted topic. The author’s use of color to describe emotions and actions in the book was unique, fun and refreshing. It was like having an entirely new set of words for various feelings. Great read for a mature young adult but amazing for anyone who has struggled with the death of someone close to them.

[Marissa]

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley is a great read. It's a YA book and won the Printz and Morris Awards in the same year a number of years ago.

[Xena]

"The Unhoneymooners" by Christina Lauren

[Audrey]

I've read The Dutch House, Ann Patchett for this one. I chose the audiobook version as I was curious about Tom Hanks narration, and it was perfect!

[Patty]

The World We Knew by Alice Hoffman

[Erica]

The most recent book to yell at me in the library.

Oh two of my favorite things! Stories by First Nations writers, and horror! And the Arctic! OK, 3 things.

[Erica]

This works too. The book has a creature called a firebird in it inspiring the cover.

[Tori]

I just finished Flights by Olga Tokarczuk for this prompt (would also work for an upside down image on the cover prompt). It is the most unique book that I've read in, well, I don't think I've read anything like it. It was not always easy to follow and it took awhile to pick up the theme, but I found it quite intriguing.

[Marie]

[Ashleigh]

I'm reading for this prompt. The one I added to the list doesn't have the bird, but this is the edition I'm reading and definitely has a bird!

[Britany]

Finished American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

I recognize my privilege and unconscious bias, and I'm taking this book for what it is, despite the controversy.

Here's another, although I'd already read one

[Siobhan]

I was wondering where to put Ducks, Newburyport on my list and well,

that does appear to be a duck

[Doni]

Loved this one!

[E]

The edition I read of The Last Wish, by Andrzej Sapkowski, (Witcher short story collection) has a bird on its cover.

[Ashleigh]

My copy of the Night Circus has a bird on it, so I read that for this prompt!

[Jayasoorya]

Chinatown days , The book of M have birds on it

Birding Without Borders: An Obsession, a Quest, and the Biggest Year in the World

This book was really great, and I'm not a birder.

Appreciate the recommendation. I'm thinking of reading Among Penguins: A Bird Man in Antarctica by Noah Strycker, so it's good to hear that you enjoyed his writing.

[Heather]

Just realized that Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid has a book on the cover, and I highly recommend this book.

I checked Amazon yesterday and found some books with birds on a cover. One I chose had a green parrot, Grandpa Hates the Bird: The Battle Begins by Eve Yohalem, because my son has a green parrot. It was only a few pages and really a cute book.

[Lilith]

The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America by Matt Kracht.

Fell in love with the cover! Very funny guide, and some really accurate depictions of North American birds - author's sarcastic jibes aside. Perfect between a couple of heavier reads.

[Heather]

My edition of The Gracekeepers has a bird on the cover.

[Cheryl]

Anyone looking for a light romantic read with bird on cover, I recommend, the Unhoneymooners.

[Tania]

I read a humor book, which has an ostrich on the cover:
How to Save Your Child from Ostrich Attacks, Accidental Time Travel, and Anything Else that Might Happen on an Average Tuesday by James Breakwell

[Pam]

This book wasn't even on my radar for this prompt but I read it for an ATY prompt and realized there is a tiny bird on the dress!
The Night Circus

[Rachel]

[Anshita]

This one might be bit of a stretch but I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. There is a small bird print on the book cover and I hope it passes for this prompt.

[jaadhimalli]

I read the book : As the Crow Flies (A western) :




There is also Ann Cleeve's Crow trap :

I read This Is How You Lose the Time War. It was not what I expected.
