Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Top Ten Tuesday: Fall Book Covers

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday.  This week’s topic is book covers with Fall colors or vibes.  When I think of Fall, I think of trees and the leaves changing color.  So, I browsed Goodreads for books with trees on them that gave off a Fall vibe.  Most of them ended up being classics!

The Poetry of Robert Frost by Robert Frost-I love how golden this cover looks and how the leaves are starting to change.

Under the Greenwood Tree by Thomas Hardy-Again, the warm tones pull me in! (This has also been on my tbr for a long time.)

The Outlaws of Sherwood by Robin McKinley-I like how the sun is shining through the leaves which are changing color.

Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy-While the leaves aren’t really changing in this one, I still feel like it is on the cusp of Fall. (This is another one on my tbr.)

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

All of the books on this week’s list share one thing in common: they have autumn leaves on their covers! Leaves changing color is the first thing I think of when the word autumn comes to mind. I know this doesn’t happen in every climate, but I’ve spent almost my entire life in parts of the world where that is what the natural world looks like at this time of the year.

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Cover Redesigns

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week is about book cover redesigns.  I decided to feature ten covers I own that I’m not very fond of compared to versions I wish I had.  My dislike of a book cover certainly won’t prevent me from reading or even buying a book.  However, I might be a little choosy when it comes to book covers if they wear out, and I end up needing to replace them in the future!

Beauty by Robin McKinley-I actually don’t dislike the cover I have (on the left).  I just like the one on the right more!

4142441443

The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley-I don’t think my copy on the left really fits the story.  I much prefer the one on the right.

17998799131936

The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien-I have the black cover on the left.  I had to purchase it for a class when I was in seventh grade, and while I was blown away by the story, I’ve never liked the cover.  I wish I had the one on the right.

1345238815329

The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien-I read The Fellowship of the Ring in the same class mentioned above and picked up the rest of the series on my own.  These are the covers I have.

222909950147110241797

I like these covers better.
But as mentioned above, the effects last longer, balancing the bar for purchase cheap viagra http://djpaulkom.tv/video-watch-da-mafia-6ixs-been-had-hard-official-video/ on this note.

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen-I have the cover on the left.  I don’t hate it.  It is a very pretty color, but I like the cover on the right better.

1892635414332. sy475

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-I really dislike the cover for my copy of Jane Eyre (the one on the left).  I picked it up on a used books store because I really wanted to read it.  If I ever replace it, I’ll go for something more like the one on the right.

Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis-My copy is okay, but the one on the right is gorgeous!

2562195515724908

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice-I have the cover on the left, and after looking at covers for this book, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not a huge fan of any of them!  However, I like the one on the right a bit better.

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!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Pink or Purple on the Cover

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

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.

9501471

Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen-Again while it is a pretty color, this is another cover I have that doesn’t match the story.

Saturday Seven: Covers I love!

I’m a cover whore. It’s true. I’ve actually bought books JUST for the cover, regardless of the blurb, and have (conversely) not bought books even when the sound interesting because I couldn’t stand the look of the cover. I know that’s not entirely fair, but … it’s who I am.  I saw all these covers on our site somewhere, and I’ve never read the books. But I would absolutely pick the book up off the shelf to read the back, and would quite likely buy it for the cover alone. It’s true.

I love everything about this. The colors, the lightning and the blasé way this demon hunter is sucking on a lollipop. It tells me so much about the story, I can’t WAIT to read the actual book!

I actually really like all the covers in this series. The blue color scheme and the ethereal quality just attract me so much. I’d absolutely pick this one up.

You know what I really like about this? All the characters have their clothes on. It’s a small thing, but I swear I’m SO tired of what my teenaged daughter calls “naked man chest” covers. Even better? That look in the hero’s eyes, that little smile on his lips … yeah, I’m half in love with him already.

I’m honestly not entirely certain what attracted me to this book. The colors aren’t ones I normally like, but they work here. It’s a quiet, mysterious cover and it makes me want to know what the book is about.

It’s that misty blue again … apparently I have a type. I do think the woman on the front is a bit generic, but the the “feel” of the cover makes me want to give it a try.

Can I just say that Young Adult covers are KILLING IT lately? I could spend all day in the YA aisle at Barnes and Noble just admiring the art. I really, REALLY love the fantasy covers they’ve been coming out with lately, and this is one series that epitomizes everything I love in a fantasy cover look.

This one? I’m intrigued by what should be a torn picture of the same girl actually being two different ones. It’s really piqued my interest and I would absolutely pick this one up.

What about you? Cover whore or don’t care? What are some covers you love?
