The prompt is A book based entirely on its cover

Rest of the Days are HERE

Hmmm...

I can't remember book covers. I don't know why. I just tend to forget them.
It's odd because you'd think I would.

Will state that I liked the cover of this book better than the story...

Waking the Moon by Elizabeth Hand.

The story was disappointing and kind of meandered, and reminded me of The Secret History by Donna Tart, which was better.

Admittedly my opinion of Hand got tainted by a guy on Ok Cupid who was an asshole. I've not had success with online dating services.

I can't recall ever buying a book based on its cover but I did put this book on my wish list for the illustrations.

A Spicing of Birds. Great cover, great title, too.

Yes, nice title and cover.

Just looked at that on Amazon UK and it looks to be a different cover there.

I enjoyed The Secret History. I can't remember if you ever mentioned watching How To Get Away With Murder, but I spent the whole first season wondering if the character Asher was going to be that show's "Bunny Corcoran" because his dynamic in the group reminded me very much of Bunny's.

I watched about five-ten episodes into the first season of How To Get Away With Murder - and yes, I'd agree with that assessment.

It may be another cover? The US one is a forest with a statue, holding the hands up, on a black background. It's not amazing, but far more appealing than the actual book.

The Secret History - I remember being engrossed by.
