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. Click on the link for more info and to find out about future topics.
This week’s theme is: Purple, Yellow, and Green Book Covers (Mardi Gras!)
Top Ten Tuesday this week is an opportunity to gaze at some lovely colours themed around the colours purple, yellow, and green. I always enjoy a cover edition so as usual I may have gone a little (or a lot) beyond ten books. I’ve linked each of the covers to their reviews in case anything catches your attention. On to the books…
What did you write about this week?
See you again next time for another Top Ten Tuesday.
I love looking at pretty covers, so cover weeks are great for me too.

Ooh, great list! I love so many of these covers and I have quite a few of them on my TBR too lol. The cover for Opium and Absinthe is so great!

Thanks. I love the cover for Opium and Absinthe, I think it’s the contrast of the green and red, it’s really striking.

I love the cover you’ve posted for The Girl in the tower! Mine’s not nearly as pretty!
Mexican Gothic is probably my favorite on your list, but Opium & Absinthe has been on my reading list for almost a year at this point!
