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!
This week's topic: Love/Valentine’s Freebie
Kissed by an Angel (Kissed by an Angel, #1-3) by Elizabeth Chandler
Evercrossed (Kissed by an Angel, #4) by Elizabeth Chandler
Everlasting (Kissed by an Angel, #5) by Elizabeth Chandler
A Long, Long Sleep (UniCorp, #1) by Anna Sheehan
You Are Not Here by Samantha Schutz
Of Swine and Roses (World of Kate Daniels) by Ilona Andrews
A Heart So Fierce and Broken (Cursebreakers, #2) by Brigid Kemmerer
Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
Legacy of Shadows (Supernaturals of Castle Academy, #1) by Tessa Hale
The Final Target by Nora Roberts
I decided to feature books with a rose on the cover in honor of Valentine’s Day this weekend. All of these are books I’ve read, with the exception of Of Swine and Roses and The Final Target. I do have copies of both, though, and plan on reading them soon!
I feel like the Kissed by an Angel series is really underrated—though that might just be my 10-years-ago self talking. I may need to do a reread to see if present-day me still feels the same. I also really enjoyed both A Long, Long Sleep and You Are Not Here as well. If I remember correctly, You Are Not Here is written in verse.
Have you read any of these books? Let me know!
Happy reading, lovelies!
OOh nice topic pick! I might have to save that as a freebie as I feel like I had quite a few covers that featured flowers! Nice picks too, lots of new to me ones!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
There are soooo many pretty covers with flowers! I tried to narrow it down to just roses for this one.
DeleteWhat a fun idea for a list! I haven't read any of these, but Girl, Serpent Thorn is on my TBR😁
ReplyDeleteGirl, Serpent, Thorn was a "meh" read for me, but the cover is gorgeous!
DeleteWow, always when I have to think of a theme I come up with no books
ReplyDeleteI love finding books with a common theme! Let me know next time and I'll help you brainstorm. :)
DeleteLove this idea!! (And books are definitely better than roses. ;D )
ReplyDeleteAlways! I love having fresh flowers in the house, but books last longer. ❤️
DeleteI have not read any of those books. Well, maybe the Ilona Andrews book - I've read pretty much all of their stuff, but I don't remember a lot of the shorter stories. Which of those is your favorite?
ReplyDeleteOf Swine and Roses is one I still need to read, but the Kate Daniels series is probably my favorite with Hidden Legacy a close second. What about you?
DeleteI love the Innkeeper Chronicles the best, then probably Kate and Hidden Legecy.
DeleteI haven't read the Innkeeper Chronicles yet! I'm hoping to get to it soon.
DeleteFun idea! I agree that books are better. :)
ReplyDeleteBook bouquets should be more popular than they are!
DeleteI should read Nora Roberts again.
ReplyDeleteI THINK this will be my first Nora Roberts book. If I've read something else, it's been so long that I can't remember.
DeleteI have read ZERO of these, but it looks like Chandler made quite an impression on you.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the very first series I fell in love with. I really need to do a reread and see if they still have the same impact! It's probably been 15 years or so since I've read them.
DeleteCool covers!
ReplyDeleteI went with red: https://wordsandpeace.com/2026/02/10/top-ten-red-covers-for-valentine/
Thanks! I love that you went with red covers. Perfect for the holiday!
DeleteFantastic pick and you chose some beautiful covers!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kimberly!
DeleteRoses are definitely a very fitting Valentines theme. I havent heard of a few of these but I definitely plan to pick Girl, Serpent, Thorn up at some point this year. I loved A Heart So Fierce And Broken and I read Kissed By An Angel but it didnt fully work for me. Maybe it was a mood thing though. It was quite some time back that I read it. I hope you enjoy the reread if you get to it.
ReplyDeleteGirl, Serpent, Thorn didn't work for me, but hopefully you'll have a better experience with it. :)
