It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s topic is books with a favorite color on the cover. My favorite colors are pink and purple. I could browse lists filled with gorgeous pink and purple book covers for hours. However, I decided to limit myself to books I actually have on my shelves at home, which was more difficult than I anticipated. Here’s what I came up with.
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien-I’ve never been fond of this cover despite it being purple. It just doesn’t seem to do the story contained inside justice.
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen-Again while it is a pretty color, this is another cover I have that doesn’t match the story.
The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot-It doesn’t get much more pink than this!
Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson
Undead and Uneasy by Mary Janice Davidson-I liked the covers for this series up until this book. Then they changed the design and now they don’t match.

Sex is generic viagra sildenafil one of the greatest gifts that God has bestowed upon a husband and wife. The Killing Dance (Anita Blake #6) by Laurell K. Hamilton-I’ve always been a little confused by this one as it seems either the model’s body is placed strangely or are parts of it missing? Maybe I’m not looking at it right.
Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris
And now some selections from my children’s shelves.
Wellington’s Rainy Day by Carolyn Beck-Probably best not to ask what the purple stuff is…
Happy Pig Day! by Mo Willems-My children love these books!
Don’t Push the Button! by Bill Cotter-Such a fun, silly book!
Have you read any of these? If so, what did you think? What’s your favorite color?
Such cute covers! I really liked reading the sookie stackhouse series.
Thank you! Yes, I enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series, but I must admit I was not happy with how it ended. Thank you for reading my post and commenting. 🙂
Ooh The Two Towers- nice! Although I agree- not a great LotR cover lol. I kinda like the Northanger Abbey one, and Don’t Push the Button is cute!
Yes, I’ve always wished my LotR covers were more epic looking, but they are what they are. Don’t Push the Button is pure fun. Thanks for coming by and commenting!
Wellingtons Rainy Day looks so cute! The dog is adorable!
He is pretty cute, and the book is a lot of fun too! Thanks for visiting. 🙂
Great list! I’m slightly colourblind, so I had to stare at that cover of The Two Towers for a few moments before I could see that it’s purple and not blue! There are some beautiful pink and purple covers out there, and The Princess Diaries covers have always been fun. It’s so frustrating when the covers of a series change halfway through – it’s so much more satisfying when you have a matching set on your shelves!
Yes, it is frustrating when covers in a series don’t match! I’m glad to know I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with this issue. Cover designs not matching is one thing, but sometimes a well meaning soul will get me a book in a series I’m reading, and it will be a different cover, and different size from the rest of the series. That sort of drives me crazy as well.

Yaaas I LOVE the color purple! I adore the cover of the Princess Diaries too! I haven’t read the books but i’m obsessed with the movies!
Purple is a great color. I only read the first Princess Diaries book, but I really enjoyed it. The movie is definitely fun as well. Thank you for visiting and chatting!
I did purple covers this week as well!

You can’t go wrong with an awesome color like purple! 🙂
I love pink and purple covers and these are some beautiful covers. I only read The Two Towers, though I’m not such a fan of that cover either 🙂
Thank you! I had fun digging through my books to find them. I do wish my cover of The Two Towers were a bit more epic. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I considered pink, because I have read quite a few books with pink covers, but I ending up going with the whole rainbow. That pig cover is so cute. Love it!
Happy Pig Day does have a pretty cute cover! Thanks for visiting my post. 🙂
I love pinks and purples! I adore them on covers.
I’m glad you enjoyed my list. 🙂
Haha, I just spend far too long staring at the Anita Blake book and working out how her body was sitting lol
I’ve never managed to figure it out! Lol! Thanks for visiting. 🙂
I love the original Princess Diaries covers! I grew up having the UK editions which had different titles and covers, but I still think the original designs are better 🙂
I really like it too. Thank you for commenting. 🙂
That cover for Living Dead in Dallas is great! I loved the Sookie books, well, except for the last one, lol.
I really like that cover too. I really enjoyed that series as well, but I wasn’t a fan of how it ended either. Thanks for visiting!
The Two Towers is one of my favorite books ever, but you’re right– that cover design definitely doesn’t do the novel justice! Great list 🙂
I agree! I’m glad you enjoyed my list. 🙂
Don’t push that button is one of my 4 year old’s favorite books. It’s such a fun one to read.
Beautiful covers

I’m glad you enjoyed my list. Yes, I think Charlaine Harris is worth the read, but I will admit I wasn’t satisfied with how the series ended. Thanks for commenting. 🙂

Oooh, great list. 🙂 Purple is one of my favorite colors, and pink is high on my list, too.

Awww! “Princes Diaries” is a nostalgic favorite. I haven’t read the book, but I watched the films ALL THE TIME! It’s so sweet. 🙂
Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland.
I feel the same way about Princess Diaries! The movies were a lot of fun too. Thanks for visiting. 🙂
Yeah The Two Towers cover isn’t pretty despite the purple. But so very much like all the covers for fantasy in those days. I’m so glad that has changed haha.
I agree that fantasy cover designs have improved drastically! As you can see from the Goodreads info, my book was printed in the mid 90s, well before some much more attractive covers were designed.
Thank you for visiting and commenting! 🙂
I do like purples. I have a few of these on my shelves 🙂 Sookie, Betsy, Anita. Good times 🙂
I’m glad you enjoyed them, and thank you for visiting. 🙂
