"They were only halfway down the walkway when a screech pierced the air. Bristol reeled backward as the marble of one column came alive, a monstrous head jutting toward her with teeth and scales and flared nostrils. She screamed as a marble dragon strained toward her, nearly pinning her against the opposite column." p 165

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 of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 



This week's topic is: Top Ten Books with Springy Covers


*in no particular order




10. A RIVALRY OF HEARTS by Tessonja Odette--pure spring cover here! The colors, the roses, and books! Of course, books are all year round, but it still fits!
9. ENCHANTED TO MEET YOU by Meg Cabot--this one is purely for the color! I mean purple can fit into many categories depending on the theme but the lower portion does have a nice pastel vibe!
8. GUILLOTINE by Delilah S. Dawson--
mainly for the pastel pink cover...and the rose, it's still a flower after all. Just...mind the blood like substance that's also going on!




7. THE UNDERMINING OF TWYA AND FRANK by Megan Bannen--another cover that's for color purposes! That I am finding so many pastel and lightly colored covers on my TBR is astonishing! Lol.
6. EMILY WILDE'S COMPENDIUM OF LOST TALES by Heather Fawcett--the FL version...which is a variation of the UK edition! These covers are very springy with all the flowers on them!
5. A WEREWOLF'S GUIDE TO SEDUCING A VAMPIRE by Sarah Hawley--another pastel cover but there's also plants!






4. DEADLY FORECAST by Victoria Laurie--an old school pick! It's a blustery rainy looking day for Abby's wedding, so you know, spring = storms. We've had so many storms already and it's still early April. My anxiety cannot take this much longer! It's even storming as I write this post!
3. THE ROSE BARGAIN by Sasha Peyton Smith--though I have the Fairy Loot edition, this cover felt very springy to me with all the roses on it...thorns and all!
2. WHEN THE BONES SING by Ginny Myers Sain--still need to read this one, but there's a nice array of flowers going around the dirt...and bones.






1. A CURSE FOR TRUE LOVE by Stephanie Garber--so yeah, I went overboard here! Lol! I honestly could not decide on which cover to choose! The new B&N paperback works with the lighter color and pretty much ALL of the UK ones work because of the flowers and the color choices still give off springy vibes. So take your pick! Lol.
