A rather restrained cover for such a colourful plant!

There is vegetation entwined throughout the cover image, although the cover is so dark that it's hard to see in this picture. It's taken from this painting by Gustave Moreau.

(10) Do the covers have to be from the 75 book challenge? I thought it was any of the books in our library.

fuzzi,

The purpose of this thread was to add the books that we intend to read for lahochstetler's March 2013 challenge #9 to "read a book with a plant or plants on the cover". The main thing is that you intend to read the book and that you have it listed on that challenge. If you don't get to it, well...it will stay on this thread but will be removed from the wiki.

P.S. Pssst! lahochstetler! A link back to the main thread would be good in message #1 above. :)

Well, the snow may not look very springy, but there is a tree! Springtime here in Montana often looks like this, though (uh--minus the wolf).



ETA: Vicious: Wolves and Men in America by Jon T. Coleman (this was recomennded to me in a class I recently took on wolves).

Here's another cover so Janet doesn't think she's run everyone off. I need to go add this one to the wiki, though....

Somehow I missed this thread. Here's my book for the challenge, A Turn of Light, with a nice tree and peaceful rural scene on the cover. Hopefully that will help make up for the wolf and bring people back.

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

You may have to look hard to spot them, but there are, actually, quite a few plants.

Lost in the Taiga: One Russian Family's Fifty-Year Struggle for Survival and Religious Freedom in the Siberian Wilderness, Vasily Peskov

I don't know what these particular plants are that this old gentleman has bundled in this picture, but the family grew or gathered everything they needed to live on, even growing plants from which to make clothing.



eta: odd - the touchstone disappeared when I saved. Trying again.
