52. A book with a sunset vibes on the cover

[Emily, Conterminous Mod]

As we get to the sunset of our challenge, let's look for books that give us sunset vibes on the cover.

What are you reading for this prompt, and how does it fit?

[Amy (Other Amy)]

I LOVE this being the 52nd prompt! And I had so many possibilities for this prompt.



And then, I found the book it has to be for me.



This cover is perfect sunset vibes, and I'm really looking forward to this book.

[Charlsa]

Great choice to be the last prompt!

I'm using Murder on an Irish Farm by Carlene O'Connor



I love the cover. I think is has that calm, dusk vibe to it. I saw this book at The Poisoned Pen Bookstore when I was there in January. I've never read any of O'Çonnor's books, but she seems to be pretty popular. I also like the setting in Ireland as I haven't read anything set in, about, or written about Ireland in a while.

The way the prompt is worded - sunset vibes - makes me think of the colors you see in a sunset but used to portray an image of something else. As opposed to "a book with a sunset on the cover."

With that in mind, I'm planning to use Under Fortunate Stars by Ren Hutchings, because the cover has sunset-ish colors.

[Denise]

This will be the first I read, not 52nd, since my book club is reading it in January:

[NancyJ]

I plan to read one or all of these:
The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
Cloud Cuckoo Land - different cover
Wrong Place Wrong Time
The Starfish Sisters

[Marie]

I'm planning on reading Exiles by Jane Harper. The exact cover will depend on which of my libraries I get it from, they both work for this prompt:



But I'd prefer this one:

[Ellie]

I love this for a final prompt! I'm almost certainly going to read the new Beth O'Leary book for this.

[Dixie]

Finally going to read Cloud Atlas. . My other choice is .

[LeahS]

I'm planning and
.

Such a good choice for the last prompt.

[Pam]

I'm planning to read one of these 2 books: Dreams Of My Russian Summers or Whitehorn's Windmill.

[Kathy]

[Donna]

Hope to get to .

[J]

I was looking at Dolores Claiborne for this one.

[John]

Considering one of the following:

-The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton
-The Mimicking of Known Successes by Malka Ann Older

[Rachael]

All Fours

[Pamela, Arciform Mod]

I have a book club book for next year that fits in this (they're the first thing I look for prompts for). Not really sunset though, more full sun

[Severina]

Like Pamela above, the first thing I thought of was The Borrowed Life of Frederick Fife; that sun is sunset vibes to me with those colours. That's what I read.

[Samantha]

I am doing the challenge in reverse order so this was my first book and I read Several People Are Typing. Odd book but enjoyable. I listened to part of it on audio and it was very well done, perhaps more fun than reading with my eyes.


I also considered:

[Irene]

This might be a dumb question but does "a sunset vibes" mean it needs to have a sunset on the cover as well as the vibes? Or is it a typo?

[LeahS]

Irene wrote: "This might be a dumb question but does "a sunset vibes" mean it needs to have a sunset on the cover as well as the vibes? Or is it a typo?"

The cover needs to give you the feeling of a sunset. So it could be an actual sunset or a book with e.g. sunset colours on the cover.

[Ellie]

Irene wrote: "This might be a dumb question but does "a sunset vibes" mean it needs to have a sunset on the cover as well as the vibes? Or is it a typo?"

Sorry! I asked for the typo to be corrected but once something's voted in we just have to live with it. It was totally just meant to be sunset vibes.

[Irene]

That makes sense, thanks Leah and Ellie!!

[Joy D]

For this prompt, I read:

The Hearts of Men by Nickolas Butler - 2* - My Review

[Dubhease]

I'm putting Hometown Ties here since that is an actual sunset on the cover

[Wendy]

I read The Motion of the Body Through Space by Lionel Shriver for this one.

I've been on a sports book kick this year, and I'm training for my first half ironman this summer, so this seemed like a great fit. In fact, it really takes a crack at amateur athletes who practice a sort of "fitness as religion", and I'll admit that I felt very "seen", as they say. I still really liked it, and my review can be found here

[Misty]

I read The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson for this prompt. It was a really good (and LONG) book. The rest of the books are all over 1000 pages as well! Yikes.

[Kathy]

I read The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje

This (awful) movie cover has a sunset in the background.

[Anne]

I have read Retreat to the Spanish Sun by Jo Thomas, which shows a lovely sunset on the cover.

[Sherri]

I read

[Denise]

I read

[LeahS]

I read for 'vibe'. A thriller by a local author, it was good on local colour in its southern Italian setting. I am not a great one for thrillers, so I found it hard to be too involved in the machinations of various mafia type gangs. However it felt well-researched.

For an actual sunset, I read . It managed to make four very unlikeable characters into a good read - and another well described setting.

[Tracy]

I read All the Sinners Bleed by S.A. Cosby. I really (not sure if "enjoyed" is the right word, since there are some horrific crimes being committed and described) appreciated this book. I don't normally read crime fiction, but this is my second S.A. Cosby book. The writing is high quality, and I really respect his main characters.

Re: the cover— not only sunset "vibes", but an actual sunset:

[NancyJ]

I read Geekerella and Sharks in the Time of Saviors. I’m still shuffling books around for my 2 rounds. I might still also read Wrong Place Wrong Time.
I read The Light Pirate for a different prompt. I like the colors in the cover.

An ancient mystery, a lost letter, and a timeless love unleash a long-buried web of intrigue that spans four centuries.
