Siracusa
I read Siracusa for this.

(How do I get a book cover in the comments?)

[Rachel]

I read Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore. Her face is broken on the cover.

When you click the 'add book/author' button, at the bottom of the pop up it lets you choose between adding it as a link or a cover

[Leonie]

I think I might go with Death is Hard Work

I scoured my TBR list and found Very British Problems: Making Life Awkward for Ourselves, One Rainy Day at a Time "

Oh, wow ... How called out by that book title do I feel? Hee!

I'll probably read 'The Silent Patient' for this prompt (I ticked off 'the do-overs and fresh starts' prompt with Mort).

[Lilith]

I highly recommend Baby Teeth . Some reviews think it's over the top, but they clearly have never worked inpatient pediatric psych. Don't listen to them. Read it.

[David]

Erimem - Prime Imperative

[Meagan]

I read Blood Heir by Ilona Andrews. It has a post-apocalyptic scene going on in the background with broken/dilapidated buildings. Is it a stretch? Maybe lol. but I'm always stretching it anyway.

[Megan]

What do you think about Kent State by Deborah Wiles? There are bullet holes and the flower petals are falling off... Or is that too much of a stretch?Kent State

[L Y N N]

Just finished reading Ayelet Waldman's first book in her Mommy-Track Mystery series, Nursery Crimes and enjoyed it. I has a broken vehicle on the cover!

to me, that seems a stretch, it's not one i'd feel worked for my challenge. i tend to be more strict with myself than others, tho, so YMMV.

Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett


Stepsister by Jennifer Donnelly


The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu

[Maureen]

I just finished A Woman Is No Man
(broken wall) and it was very thought provoking. Actually, it could be used for several of the prompts this year. Highly recommend this one. I listened to the audio version and their voices added to the experience.

[Debyi]

I am reading Mistborn - The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson for this one. Almost half way through and loving it!!

Mistborn: The Final Empire

[Debbie]

Great...that is my next read and I am going to use it for the same prompt.

[Allie]

Do you think The House in the Cerulean Sea would work for this? The broken ground/cliff?

[Hilary]

This one has a broken tooth. I'm also going to double dip and use it for the "ugly cover" prompt

[Tara]

Little Fires Everywhere was absolutely lovely, I feel like the burning paper counts - and there's a certain theme of 'broken', too.

[Natasha]

A Woman is No Man is excellent and has a broken wall on the cover.

[Stina]

I counted this:
That skull is definitely broken.

And if you're doing GenreLand, John Creasey definitely counts as a prolific author.

[Shannon]

The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde has a broken Humpty Dumpty on the back cover!

[JessicaMHR]

I have stretched this a bit...I read Something in the Water which has a wave breaking on the cover.

sneaky! i love it!

[Sherri]

Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson. 5 stars.

[Alexandra]

I read for this one :)

[Laura]

This may be taking the prompt a bit too literal, but I've made my choice.

[Flora]

Just finished this. 4 stars. I didn't think I would like it when I started, I'm glad that I stuck with it.

I thought of that!! We'll both read it.

[Heather L]

Stayed up late finishing This Old Homicide by Kate Carlisle for this one — a good mystery and a broken fence on the cover.

[LeahS]

I read The Break by Marian Keyes. The B in 'Break' is broken, and of course the title is relevant. It's the story of a marriage on the verge of breaking up.

[Britany]

is this too much of a stretch?? Broken Wave?

I think it's a clever way to go.

[Britany]

I appreciate your support Teri! 😂

Nah, I used a different book with a wave breaking as well.

[Britany]

DONE and done! Thanks - apparently two is the magic number to make my decision. 😂😂

[Trish]

I went for ruins - the broken remains of the past - with:

[Dana]

For this one I have read the audiobook edition of Allies of the Night by Darren Shan.

[Jill]

I read Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett!

[Anshita]

I'm reading Up from Slavery. I couldn't find the exact book cover on Goodreads, but my book has a cover with chains breaking.

[Jackie]

The spammers are getting so bold lol. "Bitcoin1"? Really?

[Ashleigh]

I will be reading The Goldfinch for this one.

[Patricia]

I'm going to select Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler, and Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore.

[Heather]

I read Three Act Tragedy by Agatha Christie. This was a good Poirot book. It's not one of the best, but still interesting and fun to read. The martini on the cover has spilled. I decided a spilled drink is close enough to something broken to count for the prompt.
