It's Tuesday which means it's time for Top Ten Tuesday - a link up with
The Broke and the Bookish! This week's topic was covers I'd frame as art work. I've been really excited about this one as one of the top thing that draws me is the cover. I had a delightful time browsing goodreads and amazon and picking the covers I like. Most of these aren't representative of what I currently have in my home but are the type of covers I'd frame for the the reading room I'm planning on having once some of the kids move out!
I discovered I have a thing for landscapes!
Yes, I love the cover art for the Phryne Fisher books!
ReplyDeleteMe too! I think the green on this one is my favorite of her covers.
DeleteGreat cover choices, I'll have to check out some of these books :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've read most of them and enjoyed them!
DeleteThe covers you picked are gorgeous! My favorite is "A Gathering Storm" so lovely and inviting with a bit of curiosity as to what lies beyond the gate. kelley—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteThanks! Gates get me every time. I had never heard of the book before I found the cover and now I really want to read it.
DeleteGreat covers! I can really picture how amazing all these would look on the walls in a home. They all make sense together.
ReplyDeleteThanks! This list has really gotten me thinking! I may be redecorating my whole house in book covers very soon!
DeleteAhh these are great cover choices! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love book covers and this was a fun list to do!
DeleteCovers really pull me in too. I really like your choices, Katherine. I think my favorites are The Forgotten Garden and the Agatha Christie covers.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was excited to read The Forgotten Garden mostly because of the cover. Luckily it was I enjoyed it. All of her covers are stunning. And Then There Were None is probably my favorite Agatha cover. Plus one of my favorite books so good all around.
DeleteThat Agatha Christie cover would make a great framed piece, with the mysterious island and the mansion. That would be fun to look at on the wall! The Art of french Eating might look nice too, in a French bistro art kinda way. :) Great TT.
ReplyDeleteThe French Eating reminds me a little of the European building wall art that was all the rage a few years ago. Guilty pleasure? :) I do love the Christie cover. It's definitely going on a wall somewhere!
DeleteReally great choices! I like the Queen of Hearts cover. It's really pretty.

Thanks! I love the pop of red against the grey.
DeleteI like your choices of book covers, so refreshing! Many others had YA books on their list but yours has Agatha Christie. Haha! I've not read any Agatha Christie books though. :/
ReplyDeleteClara and Mr. Tiffany sounds good. I'm thinking of checking it out. :)
Thanks for visiting my blog!

Thanks! I've noticed that too. I think since I don't read much YA I'm not naturally drawn to the covers. You really should give Christie a try! I love the Clara and Mr. Tiffany cover too. I haven't read any Vreeland but I have a few of hers.
DeleteLovely choices! I could see Clara and Mr. Tiffany hanging on my wall. Here are MY PICKS this week. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Vreeland always has the best covers!
DeleteGreat picks! Delancey cover is especially gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought so and it didn't hurt that the book was really good too!
DeleteI love "The Forgotten Garden" cover! Morton's book "The Secret Keeper" was one of my favorite books I read in 2013 and I've been meaning to check out "The Forgotten Garden" for months now. I've never read Kerry Greenwood but "Murder and Mendelssohn" is a gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteHere's my list: http://lindzlibrary.blogspot.com/2014/05/top-10-book-covers-id-frame-as-pieces.html
Who ever does Morton's covers is amazing. They're all gorgeous. I really enjoyed The Forgotten Garden and have really been wanting to read her other books but keep forgetting. I'll have to bump The Secret Keeper up the list!
DeleteOoo you picked fantastic covers and there are a few beloved books up there. These would all look awesome hanging in my home!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I love book covers. I'm planning on turning one of the kids' bedrooms into my reading room once they move out and these will be on the walls!
DeleteBeautiful covers - especially Queen of Hearts
