Similar Covers: Bird’s Nests (Part 2)

Back in June, I posted four covers featuring bird’s nests, three of which contained three eggs. I’ve now found three more: A Perfect Arrangement by Suzanne Berne, Steps and Exes: A Novel of Family by Laura Kalpakian and the German translation of When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön. I wonder why three eggs are so popular?



I must admit I liked the four original covers much more than any of these three!

  1. I don't think any of those is particularly well done either.

  2. I'm with you the four original covers are better, though the cover for A Perfect Arrangement isn't bad. I love these posts, thanks for sharing.

  3. I had no idea that bird nests are so popular. I like the covers in your June post better esp. when the nest is cradles in someone's hands...it seems to mean more.

  4. I like bird nests!! I've read two books last year that featured that on their covers!

  5. I like birds' nests, but I don't understand why they are used as a motif. Or why the three eggs? You are very observant to discover these covers.

  6. Wow, I can't believe there are so many covers with bird's nests! Who knew that an image of a bird's nest would be so compelling?

  7. Avis, is Similar Covers a meme? Is it a meme of your creation? Let me know and I will add it to my Memes Page. I'd also appreciate a description or details about it. Thanks!
