May Flowers Book Tag

This one is a pretty simple tag--find five books with flowers on the cover, and talk about them. This tag comes from Metaphors and Moonlight, a gorgeous website about books and reading. Let's get started!

An Enchanted Knight by Hildie McQueen

This is a book published by Oliver-Heber Books, who also published my baby, Son of the Siren. Although the sword is the focal point of the cover here, the flowers are a gorgeous, colorful addition. I don't know what the blue flowers are, but I can see at least one orchid in this cover. I bought this a good while ago, and its sequel, but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet. Oops!

The Beasts We Bury by D.L. Taylor

In order to find more flower covers, I consulted my ginormous Amazon wishlist. So, I don't own this book yet, but someday I might. Anyway, we have another sword as the centerpiece, only this time the flowers kind of overtake it. It took me a minute to realize the the flowers make a monster face, which is kind of ugly, lol.

The River Has Roots by Amal El-Mohtar

This came out in March and I have yet to read it. But it caught my eye because it's a take on the land of Faery and features two devoted sisters. I love folkloric, fairy tales stories, especially if there's magic and a bit of darkness to them. I know I'll read this novella someday!

A Blossom at Midnight by A.L. Knorr

This is another book on my wishlist that I haven't read yet, and I don't know why, because the price is really reasonable as an eBook. Anyway, this book is another Fae story (I love these!) and the name of the series is The Scented Court, which really intrigues me.

Bloom, by Delilah S. Dawson

I've been waiting a good while for the price to go down on this. Anyway, the cover has pretty flowers and then that really creepy looking anatomic woman. This book focuses on a dark love story that's full of obsession. I have to be in a certain mood to read something like this, but it sounds interesting.
