Top Ten Book Covers I'd Frame as Art Work


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!

  3. The 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

    1. Thank 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.

  7. That 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.

    1. The 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!

  9. I 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. :/

    Clara and Mr. Tiffany sounds good. I'm thinking of checking it out. :)

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    1. 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.

  10. Lovely choices! I could see Clara and Mr. Tiffany hanging on my wall. Here are MY PICKS this week. Happy Tuesday!

  12. I 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!

    Here's my list: http://lindzlibrary.blogspot.com/2014/05/top-10-book-covers-id-frame-as-pieces.html

    1. 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!
