Top Ten Tuesday – Books That Feature Umbrellas on their Covers

/50 Comments/by

 

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 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!

This week’s TTT topic is Books with [___] On the Cover (Pick a thing (a color, an item, a place, an animal, a scripty font, a sexy person, etc.) and share covers that have that thing on the cover).  I have no idea why, but the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this topic was UMBRELLAS (maybe it’s hearing the expression April showers bring May flowers so much lately, lol).  Whatever the reason, that’s what I’m sharing this week. 🙂

    I definitely thought of Weather Girl when I saw you’d picked covers with umbrellas for this prompt! I didn’t realize how commonly featured they are on book covers. I think there’s one on the cover of Meg Cabot’s No Judgments, too!

    I love this! I actually have two paintings in my house that feature red umbrellas, so this reminds me of them. The cover of A Hundred Summers has always been one of my favorites, I love how it looks like a vintage postcard!

      It really is! At first I thought I wouldn’t be able to find ten but ended up finding way more and had to narrow down the selection.

    Great choice. I read No Words (Little Bridge Island #3) by Meg Cabot, Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1) by Stephen King and several books from the Miss Seeton cozy mystery series that all have umbrellas on the cover.

    Ooh, fun choice! I definitely would’ve struggled with this topic. Only one other book immediately comes to mind (aside from Weather Girl) and it’s Nevermoor (MG fantasy)! 😂 All of these are such pretty covers though!

    I saw someone else do umbrella covers today. You two only had maybe one match. I didn’t realize how many umbrella covers there were. I love the ones you chose, especially Weather Girl and A Hundred Summers.

    This is such a fun way to share books! I’d have a hard time remembering more than the colour of a book cover so I think you did a great job with this! 🙂

    Hope that you are having a good week! It’s a rainy one here!

    What an interesting element. Now I am wondering how many books I read with Umbrellas on the cover. I read two from your list, but there may be more.

    I don’t think I’ve read any books with umbrellas on the cover, at least not that I can remember off the top of my head!
