Top Ten Tuesday: Covers to Swoon Over

Each week The Broke and the Bookish host this fantastic weekly feature that poses different bookish questions.

This weeks topic? Top Ten Books That Whose Titles Or Covers Made Me Buy It

I’m seriously beyond thrilled for this topic! Anyone who reads my blog knows I’m a cover hound. Yes, I love all kinds of books, but a pretty cover will turn my head faster than almost anything. I’m kind of cheating too because some of these I didn’t technically buy (a publisher may have sent me a copy), but if I had to I certainly would! So besides loving this topic I think I may have a difficult time narrowing it down to ten, but I’m going to give a try. Here goes!

1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer – Just a gorgeous cover. Love the shoe (and I’m not normally a “shoe” girl). Love the glimmer of robot. It’s even cooler in person!

2. This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers – From the second I saw this cover I was in love. Look at the blood splatter in the top left corner! And is the girl a zombie or not? Love it. It’s already on my list to pre-order as soon as I can.

3. Savannah Grey by Cliff McNish – Totally creepy cover and it was absolutely the reason I picked up the book. I was so intrigued by the throat and the lack of color that I couldn’t help but be curious. It paid off too because it’s an excellent read!

4. Dust & Decay by Jonathan Maberry – Are you noticing a trend? I am. Yes, I love zombie books, creepy books, and stories that make you wonder what scurries in the dark. For those of us who love that stuff this is the perfect cover. Love her scream, the intrigue, everything.

5. Don’t Breathe a Word by Holly Cupala – This one had everything to do with the colors. You rarely see this color combo on a cover and I love the yellow! It’s perfect and the book is fantastic!

6. The Bird Sisters by Rebecca Rasmussen – Gorgeous! I love the birds! In person it’s even more beautiful with not only the colors popping, but the actual cover is very tactile with embossing of the prints and birds. Love it!

7. The Wizard of Dark Street by Shawn Thomas Odyssey – This was another book I pre-ordered (it’s out now) because I loved the house, the girl, the spooky factor. All of it.

8. The Belly Book by Fran Manushkin – This is more for my kiddos, but I love the colors. And the moment I saw it I knew it was a Dan Yaccarino, who happens to be a favorite in our home.

9. The Secret Lives of Princesses by Philippe Lechermeier – Beautiful illustration(s). I love the read and the abnormally large princess head. Immediately I wondered what exactly this was about. It’s fabulous by the way.

10. Here’s A Little Poem: A Very First Book of Poetry by Polly Dunbar – Love Polly Dunbar and the second I saw this I knew my Littlebug would love it…and she does! The little girl skipping along on the front and the bright yellows, just so much fun for kiddos.

Now, your turn! Do you have a favorite cover or do you not even pay attention to that at all?
