A book with a verb in its title

• Dreamland

A book with a weapon on its cover

A book that has a TV/movie adaption

Question! Does count as a red cover? I'm desperately trying to find somewhere to stick it in to my TBR without using up precious Side Quest slots.

If I finish the Rogue's path, I plan to read these books for the Knight's Path:

First book in a series - Saga, Vol. 1 (SFF Graphic novel)

Verb in its title - Blackbird Fly (MG Contemporary) or Noli Me Tángere (Touch Me Not - Translated historical fiction)

Weapon on cover - Midnight Robber or The Lives of Tao (Both SFF)

Red cover - Vixen (Fantasy - I borrowed the red cover)

TV/film adaptation - Adulthood Rites (SF - This is book 2 of the Xenogenesis trilogy, Book 1 is Dawn. The Xenogenesis story is being adapted by Ava Duvernay into a film.)

*All books except Saga are by marginalised authors.

Does Gillian Flynn count as a marginalized author? She is a feminist, according to Wikipedia. I think I understand what a marginalized author is.

While it is awesome to know that she is a feminist, lots of privileged folx are! Here are ways in which one's identity can be marginalised: race, ethnic, cultural, disability, religious, mental illness, LGBTQIA+, Native or Indigenous. If none of those apply, then she is not a marginalised author, even as a feminist, so hopefully this helps with clarification.
