Top Ten Tuesday – Purple is My Passion: Top 10 Books with My Favorite Color on the Cover

Created at canva.com

 

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 My Favorite Color On the Cover (or In the Title).  Okay, so I have a thing for purple.  Dark purple, lilac, lavendar, grape, you name it, I love it.  And I have ever since I was a little girl.  I don’t know what it is about the color, but I’ve just always been drawn to it and it just makes me happy whenever I see it.  And oh yes, boy does it carry over into my books! I’m most likely to be drawn to a book I wouldn’t normally pick up if the cover has plenty of purple in it.  I’ve found a few new favorites that way and yes, I’ve picked up a few duds that way too, lol.  And what an easy color to find 10 books for.  All I had to do was turn around and stare at my shelves a couple of minutes for most of them, although Muse of Nightmares isn’t out yet. I’m just already in love with that cover and couldn’t resist adding it to my collage of purple goodness.

Question:  Do you have any favorite purple covers?  If not, what’s your favorite color and does it entice you to pick up books you might normally not give a second look to?
