Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Titles with Animals In Them and/or Covers with Animals On Them (submitted by Rachel @ Sunny Side). I've decided to focus on just one type of animal - birds!
The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner - I had forgotten about this book until I consulted my handy-dandy spreadsheet!
The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare - This is something of an American classic but I only read it 10 years or so ago after hearing about it on a historical fiction forum. Remember when they were a thing!
A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson - What a lovely book this was!
Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away by Christie Watson - There was a time when I was an absolute sucker for any books set in Africa and this was a good one.
Birds of a Feather by Jacqueline Winspear - The second book in the Maisie Dobbs mystery series. There are now 17 books in the series.
Liar Bird by Lisa Walker - Another book I had forgotten about!
The Firebird by Susanna Kearsley - Never miss an opportunity to share a Susanna Kearsley book
The Bird Sisters by Rebecca Rasmussen - I still love this cover!
Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber - This book was so good!
The Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea - I remember really enjoying this book when I read it years ago!
I did have a few more books that I could have used for this list as well. Pretty sure I couldn't do that with any other type of animal!
Zooming in on birds as a subject was a lovely choice for your post today. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI think it made it easier Deb!
DeleteTiny Sunbirds Far Away sounds interesting.

I really enjoyed Tiny Sunbirds when I read it years ago!
DeleteWell done! I don't think I could make a whole list with one type of animal. The Firebird is one of my favourites by Susanna Kearsley!
ReplyDeleteI love most of Susanna Kearsley's books Helen!
DeleteI didn't realize the Maisie Dobbs series was 17 books now. Yikes! I've been wanting to try them, and I love the art style of those covers. Blackbird Pond was a book I always wanted to read as a child, it looked so mysterious :)
ReplyDeleteThese authors keep on putting out books in long series! I can't keep up very well.
DeleteCoincidence: today I was searching for books about owls. It’s amazing how many there are with just this one family! Most are bird guides, but some are fiction and some are natural history or photo books. I suspect this would also be the case for hummmingbirds!

I have several friends who are mad about owls! I didn't even get to looking for specific types of birds. Next time!
DeleteOh Birds are great!! I like the cover of Midnight at the Black bird Cafe

That was a lovely little book. It's a shame the author only got to write a couple of books!
DeleteI love the theme! Birds!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina!
DeleteOur list featured birds as well! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that we only share one title!
DeleteNice list with birds - I've read both the Heather Webber and The Firebirds.
ReplyDeleteThey are both great reads Kathryn!
DeleteThe love The Firebird cover.
ReplyDeleteIt is striking Deanna!
DeleteGreat way to narrow down the topic! Great list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy!
DeleteThese are great! Birds seem to be popular animals for book covers.
