#CuriousCovers Day 12- This book that fits today‘s #gold prompt is one of my favourites 😊. It‘s a huge and beautifully illustrated encyclopedia of British folklore, covering everything from magic lore about trees to traditional music to traditional childhood games to an overview of seasonal festivals, etc. It also has a huge section on myths and legends specific to each region of Britain.

#CuriousCovers Day 10- This book by the German theologian and poet Dorothee Soelle has #AbstractArt on the cover. This book has been on my TBR shelves for a very long time, but reading through the table of contents I am reminded why I bought it in the first place 😊.

#CuriousCovers Day 9- The tagged book fulfills today‘s prompt for a #purple cover. This is an interesting book, kind of an anthropological history of beer and fermentation practices. Buhner‘s main point is that traditionally beer was made from a variety of plants, and typically included medicinal and psychoactive plants (Buhner is an herbalist). There are recipes here too (including one for wormwood ale!), but I haven‘t tried any of them.

#CuriousCovers Day 8- These books feature stone #circles on their covers. The tagged book has been on my TBR shelves for several years- pulling it off the shelf for this photo has reminded me that I need to read it!

#CuriousCovers Day 7- These books on human history fit today‘s #gray prompt. The tagged book is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Day 6 #CuriousCovers- Here‘s my stack of #yellow spined books for today‘s prompt. (I couldn‘t decide on one!).

Day 5 #Curiouscovers- I discovered Joan Aiken‘s Wolves Chronicles children‘s books as an adult, and I love the ones that I‘ve read so far. Her books are so much fun to read!

This is another one of her books (not in the Wolves Chronicles series) that is still in on my TBR, about a little girl and her mischievous pet #bird named Mortimer. The illustrations in this edition are terrific.

Day 4 #CuriousCovers- This book on Indo-European language and culture contains many references to the #horse, including this image on the cover.

#CuriousCovers Day 3- I really enjoyed his #BlackandWhite covered book by Rebecca Solnit when I read it a few years ago. 🖤🤍🖤🤍

#curiouscovers Day 2: I love the titles of these #redandwhite covered books ❤️🤍❤️🤍❤️

#CuriousCovers Day 1: When I think of #BlueandRed covers I think of these Oxford reference dictionaries.
