Exploring My Books: Flower Cover

AS I AM NOW CO-HOSTING EXPLORING MY BOOKS WITH ADDLEPATES AND BOOK NERDS, OUR TOPIC THIS WEEK IS

A BOOK With a Flower on the Cover

This topic was also harder than I thought it would be, particularly since it is hard to get to a good majority of my books, although now that I think it, New Moon by Stephanie Meyer has a flower on the cover. After skimming my books I came across this book (which was nestled in my night stand). While I have yet to read The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig, it is on my TBR. I was gifted this book from my best friend for Christmas. It is very fitting for this topic because of not only the flowers on the cover, but also there is a flower in the title itself!

From Goodreads: 

Deciding that true romantic heroes are a thing of the past, Eloise Kelly, an intelligent American who always manages to wear her Jimmy Choo suede boots on the day it rains, leaves Harvard’s Widener Library bound for England to finish her dissertation on the dashing pair of spies the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian. What she discovers is something the finest historians have missed: a secret history that begins with a letter dated 1803. Eloise has found the secret history of the Pink Carnation the most elusive spy of all time, the spy who single-handedly saved England from Napoleon’s invasion.

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, a wildly imaginative and highly adventurous debut, opens with the story of a modern-day heroine but soon becomes a book within a book. Eloise Kelly settles in to read the secret history hoping to unmask the Pink Carnation’s identity, but before she can make this discovery, she uncovers a passionate romance within the pages of the secret history that almost threw off the course of world events. How did the Pink Carnation save England? What became of the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian? And will Eloise Kelly find a hero of her own?
