Happy Green Reading!

Here is the Wiki.

Nice job, Pam! I think I will read The Leavenworth Case: A Lawyer's Story by Anna Katharine Green.

ETA......ooooooooooo, the new & shiny! How about The Fault in Our Stars by John GREEN!

Title: Gossip from Thrush Green by Miss Read

Cover Colour: A Snapshot of Murder by Frances Brody

Still looking for authors

I'm going to read Brighton Rock by Graham Greene and read Hide my eyes, the next in the Campion series as it has a Penguin crime green cover.

I'll be reading The Suspect by L. R. Wright..

Beautiful intro, Pam!

I have earmarked a few but haven't decided yet:
The Guilty Plea by Robert Rotenberg in the Ari Greene series
Hot to trot by R.W. Green who took over the Agatha Raisin series after M.C. Beaton died.
Murder on the Oxford Canal by Faith Martin in the Hilary Green series
The Green Road by Anne Enright

I'm being slow to set up my thread, but I've got Willful Creatures by Aimee Bender earmarked for this green month, its cover is so green!

I’m probably going to read Pothos by Rosa Campbell,

but I think my pick for the January NatureKIT might also count since the green is especially notable even if not the largest area of the cover:

I'll be reading Vanishing Fleece by Clara Parks which I took a BB for in 2023. Also works for the NatureKit this month.

Here are my choices for GREEN on the cover!

I have had a book called Green Willow on my Kindle for some time and I plan on reading it in January.

Green for Danger by Christianna Brand will be my pick--a hold-over from December plans.

>3 Robertgreaves: Thanks for the suggestion! Miss Read is my go-to author. I have all the Thrush Green novels.

I'll be reading Green Grass, Running Water by Thomas King.

I have Gracelin O'Malley on my Kindle TBR. IRL it has an almost all green cover and of course, Ireland is the Emerald Isle.

Planning to read The Garden of Evening Mists which I will count for the CoverCAT as well because it has a tea plantation on the cover.

I will read Eggs in a Casket by Laura Childs for Cover and Color:tea and green.

I might go with Benazir Bhutto by Brooke Allen

I've got a few good green options in my TBR:

Homicide and Halo-Halo



The Water Outlaws



A Spirited Affair

I will probably read Winter at Thrush Green by Miss Read.

The Greenwitch part of Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising series.

I'm going to go with Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett (and I will also be using this book for SF&FKIT Cozy Fantasy).

Just finished Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tedd Tripp for this

I'm planning to read Anything Goes by Jill Churchill, it has a green spine and a dark green rosebush on the cover.

I'm going to use The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo because it has a formal bright green gown on the cover. If time permits I'll also read the next in the Thrush Green series.

I'm planning to read Morgan Is My Name
