I love today's Top Ten Tuesday theme: May Flowers — Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with flowers on the cover, flower names in the title, characters whose names are flower names, stories involving flowers/gardeners). I mostly went with books with flowers (usually characters' names) or gardens in the title and often on the cover as well. These include some very old and very new favorites of mine, as well as books on my TBR!
A Blooming Bouquet of Books with Flower Names, Covers, and Stories
- Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott--A classic childhood fav.
- Under the Lilacs by Louisa May Alcott--One of the few Alcott books I didn't read as a kid but finally got around to in the last several years.
- Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen--Gardening and flowers are central here!
- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett--I bet a lot of people will mention this one!
- The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer--Really just the main character's name is flower-related, unless you count the association of flowers with death.
- Beheld by TaraShea Nesbit--haven't read yet, on my TBR, but literally about Mayflower pilgrims, with flowers on the cover.
- Peony in Love by Lisa See--Peony is the main character and blossoms are figuratively central.
- And Yet: Poems by Kate Baer--TBR, flowers on cover
- We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds--TBR, sunflowers on cover
- The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri--Flower in the title, TBR, loved her Empire of Sands duology
- Fresh Water for Flowers by Valérie Perrin--Flowers are central to the main character's healing and growth.
- Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies by Tara Schuster--TBR but I've already taken the eponymous advice to heart!
