    These are not the books I would have looked at first for autumn covers, but you are absolutely right - these are some lovely autumn covers.

    That To Kill A Mockingbird cover definitely looks very autumnal. The one we had for school was quite boring, it was just a black cover with a small illustration of a mockingbird on it.

    Beautiful covers! TKAM is one of my favorite books ever. I also really enjoyed The Lunar Chronicles. I've never read The Neverending Story. I feel so scarred from the movie. I think it traumatized an entire generation!

    Love your selections for this week! That To Kill a Mockingbird perfectly fits the season for me. It immediately makes me start thinking of the Halloween section.

    Good fall cover choices. I think my favorite of the bunch is Shout, there is something about the simplicity that works for me.

    All of these have a great color scheme to go with the season - and "Fairest" in particular makes me think of this season! Thanks so much for stopping by Finding Wonderland.

    Ooh, I want to jump right into the cover of Upstream. Perfect for fall.

    And now I kind of want window clings in the style of the images on The Travelling Cat Chronicles, haha.
