Top Ten Tuesday – Books That Feature Umbrellas on their Covers
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. 🙂

How fun!
Thanks! 🙂
I can’t, but I’m sure many “beach reads” have umbrellas stuck in the sand. Pretty covers.
Thanks 🙂
Even though I’ve read a few of these books, I never realized so many had umbrellas on the cover.

I honestly didn’t either until I started looking for them, lol.
What a fun theme. I didn’t know there were so many books with umbrellas on their covers.
Me neither honestly, haha.
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 think you’re right!
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!
I love that one too!
Great idea! It’s surprising how many umbrella covers are out there😁
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.
Cool, I’ll have to check those covers out. 🙂
Who knew there were so many books with umbrellas on the cover!
Right? Surprised me too, lol.
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!
Thanks! 🙂
Much more common than you would think!!! 🙂

Right? 🙂
What a fun, unique theme for today’s list. I love it! It’s perfect for Spring.
Happy TTT!

Thanks!
Oooooe I love these and I’m so glad to see Mary Poppins on your list. The trials of Morigen Crow from the Nevermoor series would also fit here perfectly.
Happy TTT!
Elza Reads
Yes it would. 🙂
That’s such a niche choice but who knew there were so many books with umbrella covers!

Right? Surprised me too, haha.
Love that there are so many umbrellas on covers! I haven’t read any of these yet, but Weather Girl is high on my TBR 🙂
I hope it’s a great read for you. 🙂
What a great topic for this time of year! After a Fashion by Jen Turano has an umbrella on it 🙂
That’s a great one too. 🙂
What a fun take on the topic! 🙂 Who knew there were so many covers with umbrellas? And two by the same author, even!
Thanks! 🙂
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.
Oh that’s cool. I didn’t realize there were so many, lol.
I never would have thought of umbrellas! But all these covers are so fun. Great TTT idea. 😀
Thanks!
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!
Thanks, hope your week is going well. 🙂
How creative! I could have used one of those today!
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.
Who knew there were so many umbrella books? They’re cute!
Thanks! 🙂
Daisy-Head Mayzie by Dr. Seuss has an umbrella on the cover 😂
It sure does. 🙂
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!
It took me a while to come up with all of these for that same reason, lol.
Oooh that was a fun intake on that topic!
Thanks!
