January CoverCAT - Let's Have A Tea Party

We are starting the year by having a party - a tea party. The great thing about this challenge is you are not limited to any genre or style of book, as long as the cover contains something found at a tea party.
You might follow traditional and choose a cup of tea or a pot, be sweet and choose cakes, scones, and biscuits (cookies to us Americans), go with decor and choose trays, flowers, and a fancy tablecloth, or be whimsical and choose a tea party character like the famous ones above.
However, since it is a CoverCAT challenge, please post the cover of your chosen book for all to enjoy and don't forget the WIKI

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to squeeze the CoverCAT in every month, but my aim is to try to read Cackle by Rachel Harrison this month. My audiobook cover looks like this:



but I like the print book cover of some editions even better:

>3 Charon07: I read Cackle in February of this year and I love the second cover with the spider.

Had to work too hard for this one! After searching through about 400 books, I finally found A Bakery in Paris by Aimie Runyan I guess I can do a twofer for ColorCat also?

So far, I think I am going with Southern Magic. More a summer tea party as it has iced tea on the cover!

Not as easy as I thought. I do have Instant Karma by David Michie

The closest I can get is The Suspect by L R Wright which has flowers on the cover.

I'd already earmarked On Directing Film for this month's tea party since it had been on my TBR for a while, but then the SFF challenge inspired me to add Sweet Tea and Spirits to my January plans also, so I'll be reading two for this one!

I have chosen A Civil Contract by Georgette Heyer, it comes with a tea table and a talblecloth.

I plan to read Tiny Tilda's Pumpkin Pie since this is something a person might enjoy for tea.

I've chosen Home Truths by David Lodge. Tea drinking seems to be involved in this English home.

Going for the double with The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng. It's a green cover for the ColourCAT, with a tea plantation for the CoverCAT.

>5 Tess_W: Yeah, I think this is one I'll have to look at my print books here to see what might fit. Easier to see what's on the cover. I haven't figured this one out yet.

I'm planning to read Three Reasons to Run, since a fancy tea party would include bouquets of flowers:

I think I will go with Anything that moves by Dana Goodyear (and I will also use this book for the RandomKIT Eat, drink, and be merry challenge.)

I'll be reading Coming Home to the Comfort Food Cafe for Random Cat as well as Cover Cat. It's been a TBR since 2018 and is the third book in the Comfort Food Cafe series.
