Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Handwriting on the Cover

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Don’t you love seeing fonts that look like handwriting? I think they’re so beautiful.

Years ago I knew someone who had studied calligraphy and could make their handwriting look very different from one word to the next depending on how flowery, messily, tidly, or rigidly they wanted to draw their lines. They were in my thoughts as I selected a variety of styles for today’s post.

Answer #10 particularly reminded me of the amazing things he could do with a calligraphy pen.

 

1. The View Was Exhausting by Mikaella Clements

 

2. Fieldwork by Mischa Berlinski

 

3. Call the Midwife (The Midwife Trilogy, #1) by Jennifer Worth

 

4. It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis

 

5. O Beautiful by Jung Yun
6. The Confessions of Nat Turner by William Styron
7. All These Bodies by Kendare Blake
8. Imaginary Friend by Stephen Chbosky
