Thanksgiving is this week’s theme from That Artsy Reader Girl. We don’t celebrate it Down Under, but I thought I’d run with the general idea of harvest and farming.

Top Ten Tuesday – Books with Springy Covers
We’re actually moving into autumn down here in the southern hemisphere, but that’s no reason not to have fun with the spring theme from That Artsy Reader Girl. I won’t lie, I still miss the proper European spring I grew up with, especially all the beautiful wildflowers.
Top Ten Tuesday – Skulls & Skeletons
Halloween is just around the corner, so it’s naturally this week’s theme from That Artsy Reader Girl.
I can safely say that, of all the spooky creatures and monsters, undead skeletons terrified me the most as a child. I have a vivid memory of hovering outside the biology classroom with a couple of other second graders, daring each other to look through the keyhole at the skeleton model. It was obviously fake and didn’t even have a skull, but it still sent us running away in terror. So, here are some book covers featuring skeletons, skulls and bones.
Top Ten Tuesday – Planes, Trains & Automobiles
Modes of transportation is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. I didn’t expect to come up with so many darker book covers from the mystery and horror genres; planes, trains and automobiles are obviously a popular setting for things going terribly wrong!
Top Ten Tuesday – Book Covers with Umbrella
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is April Showers. I hate to be caught out in a shower without a sturdy umbrella, so this is my spin on the topic. Whether discreet or punchy, an umbrella can really add some visual interest to a book cover.
Top Ten Tuesday – Book Covers with Apples
I happened to be eating an apple (a nice and juicy Jazz apple to be exact) while thinking about this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Covers/Titles with Things Found in Nature. A supermarket apple is hardly a product of nature, but hey there are wild apple trees as well!
Top Ten Tuesday – Books Set on Mars
The Red Planet was one of the first things that popped into my head in response to this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Books Set In X. It surely must be the most-visited planet in the Solar System in fiction.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books with Weather Events in the Title
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is all about Mother Nature throwing a hissy fit: storm, flood, blizzard, wind, rain and snow.
Top Ten Tuesday – Water, Water Everywhere
Water is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, so my list is all about lakes, rivers, oceans and other bodies of water.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books With One-Word Titles
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is Books With One-Word Titles. To make it more of a fun challenge, I thought I’d come up with a selection of titles that refer to a first or last name. Curiously, my list is heavy on classics and older novels, with only one book that was published in the 21st century (and even that one is named after a character from Ancient Greek mythology). I wonder if it’s simply gone out of fashion for whatever reasons.
