We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Titles with Animals In Them and/or Covers with Animals On Them (submitted by Rachel @ Sunny Side)
I don’t recall doing this topic for a TTT before and maybe we have and I just can’t remember, but either way, it’s always fun when we get something new! 😂 I always enjoy a good story featuring an animal in one way or another and it’s always fun to see them on covers too. These books are a mix of those I’ve read and ones from my TBR (and mostly from the latter tbh, lol) and I’m going to jump straight into it…
Godkiller by Hannah Kaner
Song of Silver, Flame Like Night by Amelie Wen Zhao
Untethered Sky by Fonda Lee
Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan
The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh
Lily and the Octopus by Steven Rowley
Izzy at the End of the World by K.A. Reynolds
Do you like stories with animals? Does having an animal on the cover/title make you want to pick a book up more or less or are you unbothered either way? Have you read any of these books?

Wow, looks like you had no trouble at all finding animals on covers. 🙂 I think they’re a lot more prevalent on fantasy covers, which is something I rarely read.

Yeah, I think you’re right but someone did a post with all dogs and cats on romance covers and I never realised how popular they were 😂
