Top Ten Tuesday: Covers of Books I've Read

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish, and this week is favourite covers of books you've read. This was SO hard to narrow down because there are so many beautiful covers out there, but I've tried to go with ones that really drew me in when I first saw them.






1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer
I love the shoe! It just makes a statement don't you think? And sums up the modern twist on Cinderella pretty well.

2. In Your Dreams by Amy Martin
This was the redone cover and when I first saw it I absolutely fell in love with it. They kept the eye which was the focus of the original cover and added so much more colour and depth. The font is stunning too!

3. Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan
Purple is my favourite colour so obviously I was drawn to this one straight away and the stars are all sparkly.

4. Defiance by C. J. Redwine
Okay so when I first opened this boook (it was a Christmas present) I couldn't stop stroking it. I just think it's really striking and again I love the font

5. Splintered by A. G. Howard
Wahh it was so hard to return this one to the library! I love all the green and planty-ness plus the wicked stare that model has going on.




6. Fire Spell by Laura Amy Schlitz
I only just finished this book and I loved it. I love the fiery font and the elegant pose of the puppet, and how London is incorporated into the background.

 7. The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
This is another one that I got from the library and I think I came home and took a photo of the book straight away because it was so pretty!

8. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
So this is the cover of Catching Fire on the copy I own and I don't think they make it anymore. The new one is blue and I don't like it :( but this one has purple which makes it infinitely more awesome.

9. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling
I think this is my favourite Harry Potter cover just because there is so much attention to detail. Like I literally didn't notice some stuff until years after reading it.

10. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
This cover is just so summery! And I read it during the summer so that really added to my love for it. Plus I love the writing and how they've used different colours and fonts.

    1. I think those are two of my favourites of the ten :D I think what's good about In Your Dreams is that eyes on covers have been done a LOT but this one really stands out as something different :D thanks so much for your comment!

    1. It's a great book too! :D Glow was one where the cover got my hopes up for the story, but I still love the cover. I think they changed the covers after that book which is a shame :( thanks so much for your comment! :)

    1. They really are! I've only read the first book because I wasn't that gripped by it. I might get round to reading the rest one day. I imagine they'd look incredible on a bookshelf all together :D thanks so much for your comment! :)

    1. Cinder is awesome, and I loved the sequel (Scarlet) too so I'd really recommend those! Glow was a bit hit and miss for me but I'm still aiming to read the sequel. Maybe the cover got my hopes up because it's so pretty <3 thanks so much for your comment! :D
