29 - A book with a bird on the cover
ooh, definitely using
for this oneother options:
so far, I feel like crows/ravens are the most photogenic (covergenic?) birds
The Bird Tribunal (name, no actual bird on cover)This is How You Lose the Time War
See What I Have Done has a bird on the cover and is a fictional retelling of Lizzie Borden. It’s weird, but interesting.
Two that I didn't see in the above posts on a quick skim: Sing, Unburied, Sing" and Willful Machines.
And she has a prequel coming out this year
If I’m not reading I’m probably be out reading. And I suggested something similar over at ATY but it didn’t make it in. So this prompt makes me happy. Now just have to decide what to read.
Read & recommend:
On other lists:
This is the only one I don't see above and it's sitting on my Kindle unread so I may do this one.What the Robin Knows: How Birds Reveal the Secrets of the Natural World
I just remembered I saw this at Powell's the other day and almost got it! Now I must have it! 
Effin' Birds: A Field Guide to Identification
A few I read this year that I recommend:
Any mystery/thriller/suspense fans:
Might have been a Kindle First Read a couple of years ago. Still on my TBR
Loads of books with birds on the cover.I have
on my physical TBR shelf. I don´t think I will get to it till next year anyway so this is perfect.
I'm going to check out The Tethered Mage, which is the first in a trilogy - all with birds on the cover!
I have
on my TBR list: do you think it would count? Obviously I know that it's my choice (the Popsugar police are unlikely to show up at my door!) but I'd be interested in your opinions.
Looking forward to the Hunger Games prequel
The bottom part of the image shown is a partial jacket. Under it, on the green book cover is a large owl.
(They are too small to see in this little bit, but the title has a bird in it as well)
(there is a sparrow in that round section)

I agree with you... which is a pity as I thought I'd managed to get all the books I desperately want to read into the challenge categories :-)
Although I think for many of us that's half the fun, doing the planning when the new list comes out!
I'm thinking about reading The Crow Road by Iain Banks.
Or maybe A Confederacy of Dunces. It's been on my TBR shelf forever.
ETA:
Or perhaps The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America .
Or maybe Where Seagulls Dare.
Or Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Love Story of an Owl and His Girl.
There are a lot of books with birds on the cover!

That one was fantastic.
I was flipping through my unread Kindle books and found one that will work (this bird is scary):
You guys are amazing. I think I will be reading Magpie Murders for this prompt, but I haven't seen these other options mentioned yet: 
I found in my TBR:

I've got quite a few bird covers on my TBR list, but I'm most likely going to take this as an excuse to finally read Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. (I bought it a while back and it's been sitting on my shelf waiting patiently for so long!)
This is the year I finally finish
, so help me.
For those who like mysteries, the “Meg Langslow” series by Donna Andrews all have birds on the covers, and many of the titles also have puns (such as Cockatiels at Seven, Owls Well That Ends Well and Duck the Halls.)The first book in the series is Murder With Peacocks.
