Love at First Font
Top Ten Tuesday [20]

 
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together!

I loved this prompt and definitely could have kept going, but I think capping it at 20 was already going above and beyond. ๐Ÿ˜…

    1. Some of the covers were definitely better than the books themselves. ๐Ÿ˜…

  3. OOoh nice ones! I forgot about the OG Initial Insult! Of course that's buried in my storage unit somewhere, hence my forgetting! My picks were mainly TBR books not including Caraval of course! Lol. I almost went with Kevin Hearne's as well as I just thought it was a cool and fun typography! Great picks!

    1. I tried to only use the covers for books I've read, but some of these were too good not to use. I really need to finish Hearne's series! It one of my favorites and I never got around to continuing it.

    1. Have you read the books? It's not a series I see around the blogosphere too often.

  8. 10 Blind Dates is such a great cover and matches the vibe of the book well.

  9. I still don't like covers that are mostly text/fonts. I prefer image-focus ones. Good covers though I haven't read these books except the Oddmire series & A monster like me, both I thought was pretty good.

    Have a lovely day.

    1. I don't really have a preference as long as the cover is unique and goes along with the story. My kids really loved the Oddmire series!

  10. WE ONLY FIND THEM WHEN THEY'RE DEAD has a really cool cover. Very unique and eye-catching. Nice picks!

    Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!

  12. Such gorgeous selections. I absolutely would have included The Intial Insult - another McGinnis favorite of mine. Eleanor and I were both capivated by House of Salt and Sorrow when we saw it, also stunning.

    1. Thanks! I don't see The Initial Insult too often, but I thought it was really well done. I also enjoyed House of Salt and believe I gave both books four stars.
