BooksPlease 
Well done for finding ten books with animals both in the title and on the cover! I’ve read a few of these – Magpie Murders, To Kill a Mockingbird, Cat Among the Pigeons and The Raven’s Head – but didn’t include any of them on my own list.

Thanks for reminding me to read The Guest Cat! I haven’t included any birds in my list, so it’s cool to see your bird covers. I especially like Magpie Murders.

Well they do look cute – but when you’ve got mole hills all over the lawn you no longer find them cute.

Our book club has chosen Magpie Murders for an upcoming read, so I’ll be trying that one soon.

I like your choices, Margaret! Cat Among the Pigeons is such an interesting look at a girls school, and I love the character of Julia Upjohn. And I did like Magpie Murders. That ‘story within a story’ concept can work really well.

Magpie Murders is such a complicated book. I’ve been watching the TV adaptation and it’s made me want to re-read it.

What a fun topic, and a great selection! I keep track of animals in titles in all my end-of-year round-ups, so should have a delve…

I realised doing the topic this week just how many book covers have birds on them, and your list has further solidified that for me-cover artists clearly really love a bird!
