A curious wooden caravan with wheels like you'd see on an old penny-farthing bicycle wends its way along a long and winding road. At its front sits a monk with a cup of tea. Who will they meet? Farther along the road waits a robot, one hand outstretched for one of two dancing butterflies to alight on their finger. All around the woods are full of blossoms. Over this cover art, text reads, "A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Becky Chambers; a Monk And Robot Book, Hugo Award Winner!" There's a quote from Martha Wells: "An optimistic vision of a lush, beautiful world."

For fun in February, A-Cover-A-Day, books I love, that's all.

The cover of fantasy novella Mammoths at the Gates, by Nghi Vo, says "Hugo Award-Winning Series!" and "A remarkable accomplisment." --NPR on The Empress of Salt and Fortune." (Empress, by the way, is the first book of 5 so far, and the 6th comes out in October 2025.) Cover illustration shows two hoopoe birds perched on the tusks of two mammoths, peering in at the nest of a third hoopoe, which nest is in the mouth of a gargoyle shaped like maybe a dragon's face, atop gates, and at the foot of the gates are two mirrored still-life arrangements of a candle, a vase with two chysanthemums, and a steaming bowl of soup on a plate.

For February fun, A-Cover-A-Day (well almost) of books I love, that's (almost) all. #MammothsAtTheGate #SingingHillsCycle #MightVersusWisdom #TalkingHoopoe #BirdSky #Fantasy #ShortPerfectNovels #BookSky #IncidentallyQueer I woulda posted all 5 covers- love them all- the 6th is coming in October. 📚💙
