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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
DeleteGreat choices! That edition of Pride and Prejudice is so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteIt'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!
DeleteTerrific list, alot of these are just classic!!Other than HP, I haven't read any of these terrific looking books!!

If you've never read To Kill A Mockingbird, it's a must!
DeletePurple is my second-favorite color, too. That edition of To Kill A Mockingbird always reminds me of middle school language arts class.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
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!
