Books With Nature on the Cover

Hello! I hope everything is going well with you. Today I went for a walk… in the snow. Sigh. At least the heating/air conditioning people are coming Wednesday.

But today is Tuesday, and this week, Top Ten Tuesday is talking about Books with Nature on the Cover! Looking through my Goodreads list, I’m surprised at how few covers do have a lot of nature on the cover. But there are at least 10, and it gives me the opportunity to highlight some new books, or books I haven’t talked about for a while.

Golden Poppies – Laila Ibrahim. This book has some beautiful flowers on the cover. It’s the third book in a series, but you can read it without reading the other two books (I haven’t).

Starfish – Akemi Dawn Bowman. Starfish doesn’t have actual starfish on the cover, but it does have marine life. It’s very pretty, IMO.

Song of the Crimson Flower – Julie C. Dao. This is another cover with flowers on it, but it’s also got a dragonfly on the cover. A dragonfly that looks oddly like a flute (an important part of the story).

The Unhoneymooners – Christina Lauren. This is a book that’s been patiently waiting for me even though I bought it on sale more than a year ago. Good thing books don’t have an expiration date. I love the flowers and the bird on the cover.

Switchback – Danika Stone. I don’t know about you, but I love going camping. But I wouldn’t want to go camping without being at least a little prepared. Once I did go camping at the ocean and had to cook with a stick, but that was nothing compared to these teens. Love the mountainside on the cover.

Disappearing Earth – Julia Phillips. More mountains. I’m guessing this is supposed to be the Kamchatka Peninsula (located in Eastern Russia right across from Alaska). Brrr.

Twisted Roots – Shelly Goodman Wright. This book was written by a friend of mine. The book takes place in the Okefenokee Swamp, and I’m assuming that’s what’s on the cover.

Into the Hollow – Lynn Vroman. I loved this book. I’d love to reread this again someday. It takes place in the Appalachian Mountains, and it’s got trees on the cover.

A Thousand Perfect Notes – C.G. Drews. This has such a beautiful butterfly on the cover. The paperback is even more awesome, although I have it on Kindle.

Unbroken – Laura Hillenbrand. This is the story of Louis Zamperini, who graduated from the same college that I did. Zamperini was a runner who had the opportunity to be in the Olympics, but sadly, World War II cancelled his Olympic dreams. His Olympic dreams were partially realized when he got to carry the Olympic torch during the Olympic torch relay leading up to the 1998 Nagano games. This cover has the ocean and clouds on the cover.

So those are ten books with nature on the covers, going all the way back to books I added to Goodreads in 2015! What books did you highlight today? Next week we’re going to talk about book titles that are complete sentences. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do that? We’ll see. If not, I’ll try to do something similar.
