I'm reading Caledonian Road as it's been on my radar for a while. The choice for this prompt is so wide, I decided to keep go with the Scottish theme and read a book actually set in Scotland for my second choice: The Bookseller of Inverness.

"Whoa, I love the sound of this series!
The options I've been considering are
A Writer's House in Wales
The Other Side of the Dale
Square Haunting: Five Writers in London Between the Wars
Summers in Squid Tickle: A Newfoundland Odyssey
For this prompt, I decided to read a book about China after the cultural revolution.Top choices so far:
Let Only Red Flowers Bloom: Identity and Belonging in Xi Jinping's China
Sparks: China's Underground Historians and their Battle for the Future
Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China by Evan Osnos
Red Memory: The Afterlives of China's Cultural Revolution

The whole series, starting with Gobbelino London & a Scourge of Pleasantries, would fit for this prompt.
I'm planning Ways to Die in Glasgow by Jay Stringer for this one.

That series sounds awesome, too. Going on my list! And the book you mentioned as a blue cover, so that's another potential for the red, blue, or green cover prompt.
Current possibilities:The Left-Handed Booksellers of London
The Ravenmaster: My Life with the Ravens at the Tower of London
Dinner on Mars The Technologies That Will Feed the Red Planet and Transform Agriculture on Earth
