Top Ten Tuesday – April Showers: 10 Books With Rain on Their Covers

/17 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 April Showers — Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with rain on the cover/in the title, that have rainstorms in the story, or that have anything to do with rain). I decided to go with books that feature raindrops on the cover but also wanted to find some that were still somewhat bright since I associate brighter colors with spring. This was harder than I thought it would be because most of the covers I initially found were stormy and gloomy. I had to dig deeper and there are a couple that I’m not sure are even meant to be raindrops (the Waxman and Mills covers) but I’m counting them anyway since they look like raindrops, haha.

    I had Weather Girl and First & Then on my list today too! Waxman’s cover looks so similar to the latter but I don’t think I’ve heard of it before. Totally forgot about Funny Feelings and The Upside of Falling Down. Great list!

    Okay, I thought finding covers with rain was hard enough, but you really kicked it up a notch by focusing of spring colors. I bow to your abilities. LOL I know I’ve read Saving Grace but I don’t think I’ve seen that cover before.

    It’s really cool how First & Then and The Garden of Small Things use the same type of raindrops and pattern (for lack of a better word), and the covers come out looking similar but different enough.

    Good one! I have actually read half of these (all gems). I love those old Emma Mills covers.
