This is the thread to share your book covers for April TIOLI Challenge #14: Read a Book with a Green Cover.

Here's a couple of my prospective reads for the month:


At the Still Point by Mary Benson

or


Longleaf, Far as the Eye Can See: A New Vision of North America's Richest Forest by Bill Finch, et. al.

Excellent! I wondered where Lady Oracle would find a home.

#3 - Yay! I actually managed to fit it in your challenge #9 with "necessary," after first having a brain malfunction and using a five syllable word. I'll find something else for #9, but thought this was the best place for a lovely green Virago, so I moved it.

It's a great cover and should be shown off. I read Lady Oracle a long while back - 10 years ago, maybe? I really liked it, so you never know, I may pick it up again!

I've been meaning to read Across Five Aprils - I somehow missed it as a kid. Maybe this month?

Too bad I read this in March. But it's a decent read for those interested in children's literature.

The Aviary by Kathleen O'Dell

(10) Across Five Aprils is very good!

Is this green enough?

I'm now reading Winkie by Clifford Chase.



ETA: This is getting a bit boring. Not sure I'll finish it. :(

I'm going to start reading One Hundred Years of Solitutude:



This is for my book club. I had entered this under another challenge (two people on the cover) because that was the cover I was most familiar with, but when it arrived from the ILL, it ended in this challenge instead. :-)

Troubles by J. G. Farrell. I can't find a good picture of my edition; my copy has the same green photo but the border is also light green instead of light purple.

@AnneDC, here is one I snagged for you:



I either scan my covers, or take a picture of the cover and upload it to my computer, and then use it here!

Here's another, sorry it's not high quality:

I'm reading Steven Johnson's The Ghost Map. It was a group read last month, so I'm a bit behind.
Also, my cover looks more green than this picture does, the background is much greener...

>22 fuzzi: Thanks fuzzi! That is the one. I almost always can find my covers among the ones that are already uploaded so I've never really investigated how to upload my own cover. Now I know!

I read the rather egregious The Fox on the Fairway but the otherwise talented playwright Ken Ludwig. Oh my - farce at a golf club does nothing for the theater snob in me.
