November CoverCAT - Celestial Objects on cover

Celestial objects, also known as astronomical objects, are naturally occurring physical entities in the universe, including stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, nebulae, galaxies, and black holes.
You can also choose celestial beings like angels and constellations.
I personally feel almost all Science Fiction novels have some form of celestial objects on their covers.

Please let us know what we are reading and don't forget the WIKI

Best wishes for a quick recovery to @majkia

I will be reading Starfall: The Ethereal Cycle by P A Dixon. Look at the beautiful starlit sky and falling stars

I love this. I haven't checked yet to see what I've got, but I do love this!

I have disappointingly few candidates for this but I think I will try Invisible Planets, an anthology of Chinese SF translated and edited by Ken Liu

So many choices! I’ll probably read one of these:

We Are Satellites - Sarah Pinsker
Record of a Space Born Few - Becky Chambers
Children of God - Mary Doria Russell
Hellspark - Janet Kagan
Strange Beasts of China - Yan Ge
Shakespeare for Squirrels - Christopher Moore

I am waiting for Black ties and tails, Wen Spencers new entry in the Black wolves of Boston series. I might be able to save it for this challenge, instead of gobbling it down right away as I usually do with her books.
It has a moon on the cover:

I've had An Atomic Romance by Bobbie Ann Mason on my TBR for years...maybe this month's theme will get it off the shelf and into my hands:

I am planning on reading Relic by Alan Dean Foster:

>1 lowelibrary: thanks! I'm now in rehab and working on getting stronger to go home.

>9 majkia: Glad to hear you are getting better. Take care of yourself and don't worry about anything else.

>9 majkia: Hope your rehab goes smoothly and you’re back home soon.

Just finished The Rowan by Anne McCaffrey

I Reading Black tie and tails, the second book in the Black wolves of Boston series. It has a moon on the cover:

Starting The Stardust Grail by Yumei Kitasei. The cover shows a starfield.

>14 Robertgreaves: That is a beautiful cover

>15 lowelibrary: I've only read 9% but so far the story is showing signs of living up to it

I have completed my read of Relic by Alan Dean Foster.

COMPLETED >14 Robertgreaves: The Stardust Grail by Yume Kitasei

Completed Good night, Little One which features the moon on the cover.

Blue Moon by Lee Child
A good turn by Reacher becomes a violent story. Not my favourite by Child.

(Cross-posting this at a bunch of threads.)

I finished reading Solar by Ian McEwan.

I finished The Prince of the Skies by Antonio Iturbe which has stars on the cover. This was a very good historical fiction account of Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

December CoverCAT is at https://www.librarything.com/topic/375342

I read Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao with a moon on the cover. Great magical realism and romance!

I just completed Sharon Lee and Steve Miller's Local Custom, which has stars on the cover.

>25 shimmermarie: good to know you liked it. I just got a message that it is waiting for me at the library, so I am looking forward to picking it up.

COMPLETED Invisible Planets an anthology translated from Chinese by Ken Liu (see >4 Robertgreaves:)

Starfall by Paul A Dixon ★★★½

Ninth grade was off to a promising start for Samantha Greaves — especially with Starfall as her best friend. But Starfall isn't your typical companion; she's a Star Wolf from the Ethereal realm, a creature who consumes meteors, communicates telepathically, and, when she chooses, soars through the skies. Just as Sam begins to embrace the wonders of her newfound magical reality, a shadow from her past emerges. An old adversary of her parents — the very man responsible for her mother's mysterious disappearance — returns with a sinister agenda: to harness Starfall's magic for his own. Determined and unwavering, Sam realizes she'll do whatever it takes to protect her friend.

This YA book is definitely geared towards the preteen in the writing style and settings. This did not distract from the story. I loved Samantha and Starfall, although the ending definitely let you know there is another book, since this one created questions that were left unanswered.

Whoops wrong thread, sorry

I read Our Moon, which features the expected celestial body:

I read Never Whistle at Night edited by Shane Hawk which has a moon and some stars at the top of the cover:

I read FEVER BURN
On the cover - a blazing sun setting in Africa.

The Last House on Needless Street



This was a book bullet from lowelibrary and was basically impossible to put down. I think I ended up finishing it in two sittings. Like your average psychological thriller, it features unreliable narrator elements, (which I know is not everyone's cup of tea,) but that is really where the similarities end. It's hard to describe the experience of reading it without spoiling the best parts of the experience. Like April, I would recommend picking this book up without reading too much about it.

I’m late to the finish line, but I read Strange Beasts of China by Yan Ge, with a large moon and stars on the cover:
