Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Book Covers with Fall Colors/Vibes (or spring if you live in the southern hemisphere).
When I think of spring, I think of flowers. My Top Ten Tuesday is therefore all about flowers.
The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani - I read this book many years ago and loved it! It has an unusual setting in 17th century Persia (review here)
Wildflower Hill by Kimberly Freeman - It's wildflower season here so I couldn't go past this title!
Peony in Love by Lisa See - I wanted to have a couple of different flower types in this post, and I enjoy all of Lisa See's books!
Barbed Wire and Cherry Blossoms by Anita Heiss - I love the cover of this book with the cherry blossoms. It is the story of a Japanese prisoner of war escaping from an internment camp to the local Aboriginal mission. (Review here)
The Lady's Slipper by Deborah Swift - You may think that I have lost track of my theme but not really. A lady slipper is a rare orchid (Review here)
Roses by Leila Meacham - To be fair, I could have had any number of books with the word roses in the title. I do love the cover of this one. (Review here)
Bed of Roses by Nora Roberts - The Bon Jovi song of the same name contains one of my favourite songlines ever, and this book is the second in one of my favourite Nora Roberts quartets.
The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley - Never miss an opportunity to post about a SK book on a TTT post! (Review here)
Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach - This book tells the story of when the tulip bulb was the most prized asset that you could own during the period of tulip mania in 17th century Netherlands.
The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig - I'm moving away from roses to my favourite flower which is tulips! There's actually twelve books in this series that all have the name of flowers! (Review here)
And just because I have some.....
Love this idea. And you carried it off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb!
DeleteWOW, what a beautiful flowery post. Loved this!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it Diane!
DeleteGreat idea to change the challenge. I love your new title. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of a hard time since brown is not my favourite colour (actually, it’s the colour I like least) but I found some good books anyway.
My TTT.
Oh, and I also read Tulip Fever plus a few other books on the topic. Such a great subject.
The Tulip craze was definitely a weird and fascinating part of history Marianne
DeleteBed of Roses has such a pretty cover.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It really does Astilbe!
DeleteSpring makes me think of flowers, too! There are so many pretty book covers with flowers on them, although weirdly, I've seen a number of horror novels with flowers on the cover, too. Interesting how they are so versatile and can send different messages when presented in different ways.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
It is interesting to see flowers on the horror covers Susan.
DeleteRoses has such a gorgeous cover. Enjoy your spring! It's my favourite season.
ReplyDeleteMy post.
I like it too Lydia!
DeleteThose tulips are gorgeous! I'll bet you're happy it's spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you Les! I bought myself some flowers as a treat! Even wrote "just because" on the card! lol
DeleteA lot of mine had flowers too but for once, we didn't have any the same!
ReplyDeleteHow did that happen Bree!
DeleteI was just thinking that you were going to find it weird posting autumn covers when it's spring over there when I saw that you have in fact posted spring covers. :-) I must get around to Tulip Fever at some stage, one of those books I've had on my radar for years.
ReplyDeleteThe book wasn't bad Cath. I have heard the movie was not great though!
DeleteLove these! Honestly, seeing so many spring posts this week has me missing it a little bit. The Rose Garden looks especially good—definitely adding it to my TBR pile.
ReplyDeleteI always recommend Susanna Kearsley any chance I get!
DeleteLovely covers and tulips! I loved the Pink Carnation series so much. I miss it now that it's done.
