Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Thank you to Joanne @ Portobello Book Blog for submitting this week’s theme! Here are ten book titles featuring ordinal numbers. 

Book cover for Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. Image on cover shows the title written in a cursive font against a fuzzy green background that looks like it might be the canopy of a tree or trees.

Book cover for The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Image on cover shows a drawing of three hardback novels neatly stacked in a small pile together.

Book cover for Eighth Grade Bites (The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, #1) by Heather Brewer.

Book cover for Second Grave on the Left (Charley Davidson, #2) by Darynda Jones. Image on cover shows a realistic painting, or maybe a heavily photoshopped photo, of a young white woman who has one hand on her hip and is wearing jeans, a jacket, and a blouse that shows a hint of cleavage.

Book cover for The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien. Image on cover is a drawing of a country farmhouse with an empty dirt road next to it. The farmhouse is drawn from an angle and so looks smaller than it would if it were drawn facing forward.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. The Third Policeman by Flann O’Brien

 

Book cover for First Among Sequels (Thursday Next, #5) by Jasper Fforde. Image on cover is a drawing of an opened book that has a small explosion bursting forth from its pages. Dust and rubble is shooting out in all directions!

Book cover for Seventh Son (The Last Apprentice #1-2) by Joseph Delaney. Image on cover shows three of the characters, presumably the actors from the film version of this book.

Book cover for The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth, #1) by N.K. Jemisin. Image on cover shows what appears to be a very old door that is partially covered by grime. On the door an ornate metal object has been forged that curls into itself as if it has leaves or perhaps small tentacles. It’s beautiful.
