Top Ten Tuesday: Books With My Favorite Color On the Cover

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, we're looking at books with our favorite color on the cover. My favorite color is blue, but since we've got a topic coming up in a couple months that'll include books with blue covers, I'll move to my second favorite: purple!




The Color Purple: This one is obvious, no?

To Kill A Mockingbird: My own hardcover copy is prettier than this, but I think we all read the one with this lavender cover in school.

Pride and Prejudice: This is a blue-r purple but still a lovely cover for a delightful book.

The Stranger Beside Me: The mass market paperback of this true crime classic (which is the edition I own) features Bundy's stare from a purple background.

The Other Boleyn Girl: I feel like I'm talking about this book a lot lately, which I'm not necessarily trying to do, it just keeps coming up.

Dead Until Dark: The first in Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries features Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire lover Bill floating against a dark purple sky.

Stay With Me: This debut novel has, well, stayed with me in the months since I read it...and its orange and purple cover is striking.

A Brave New World: This classic of dystopian fiction has an unusual tone of grayish purple in the cover.

Exit West: Beautiful book, gorgeous cover.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: These books get redesigned covers pretty frequently (the originals that I grew up with are my favorites), and honestly I find most of the ones in this series uninspiring, but I love this moody purple-soaked one.

  1. I loved the Sookie books when I read them but was unfortunately never a fan of Vampire Bill. I posted some purple faves myself. Quite a popular color.

    1. I was glad that Bill was less of a presence in the books than he was on the show...he wasn't a favorite of mine either!

    1. It's gorgeous...my personal fancy cover of that one is the Penguin Clothbound Classics one to go with the rest of them that I have and love, but this one is my actual favorite!

    1. If you've never read To Kill A Mockingbird, it's a must!

  4. Purple is my second-favorite color, too. That edition of To Kill A Mockingbird always reminds me of middle school language arts class.

    1. It's so iconic...even though I've seen many alternate covers and even own an alternate cover, when I think about the book, this is the one that comes to mind!
