Top Ten Tuesday: Red, White, or Blue Book Covers

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

This week in honor of the 4th of July in the USA the theme is red, white and blue book covers!  I decided to approach this topic the same way I did for my post about books with my favorite colors and limit myself to books that are physically on my shelf in shades that are very close to those on the American flag.  I even managed to come up with an equal number of reds, whites, and blues, and one book that had all three!

Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales-This book is a lovely shade of red.

Grimm’s Fairy Tales-Another beautiful hard cover collection of fairy tales

The Icelandic Sagas I-I couldn’t resist adding one more gorgeous hard cover, and this picture really doesn’t do it justice (the blue is brighter than it appears here).  Though the blue leans toward navy and the white a bit gray, I’m still counting it as having all three colors.

      The Mercy Thompson series has had consistently great covers! I almost included the cover for Blood Bound (Mercy Thompson #2) since it is red, but figured two books from the same series was enough for one list. 🙂

      The cover for Icelandic Sagas is definitely awesome!

      Thank you for visiting and commenting! 🙂

      Thanks for visiting!

  15. Great list! I love that you included the Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and Icelandic Sagas collections! I’ve been meaning to pick up the Mercy Thompson series for a while now!

      They really are beautiful books, and I’m so glad you enjoyed my list. I hope you pick up the Mercy Thompson series! I know sometimes people are hesitant to pick up a series with so many books out already, but it is a great series and completely worth it.

      Thank you for commenting. 🙂

  16. An interesting mix of books. I have only read Grimm’s (in english and german) and A Light in the Attic, but I love the cover with the pandas.

    • Poinsettia says

      Eats, Shoots and Leaves is a fun book! It has been a while since I read it, but it really made reading about punctuation fun.

      Thanks for visiting. 🙂

  17. Oooh, that edition of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales is so pretty! I love red books.

  24. Nice list! I really like the Patricia Briggs covers. I just got a copy of Moon Called and this will be my first time reading her work.

    • Poinsettia says

      Thank you! The Mercy Thompson series has consistently great covers. I nearly included a third cover from the series on this list.

      I sincerely hope you enjoy Moon Called and decide to read the rest of the series! It is one of my favorites.

      Thank you so much for visiting and commenting!

  25. Aside from recognizing the Grimm brothers name, none of these are familiar books. That said, that punctuation book has the cute little pandas(?), which makes me smile! 🙂

      The punctuation book is a lot of fun! It made learning about punctuation fun.

      Thanks for visiting. 🙂

  26. Fun list!

  27. Great list. Several of the books looks interesting.

  28. Arthur and Briggs. Two of my favorites 🙂
