Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is May Flowers — Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with flowers on the cover, flower names in the title, characters whose names are flower names, stories involving flowers/gardeners)
Hello Readers! How is it already May?? This year is flying by. I’m feeling behind on my reading and blogging, both of which have taken a hit thanks to LIFE. But I finally read more last month, so hopefully the trend will continue and include blogging. 🥰
This week I’m taking the prompt pretty literally and highlighting book covers with flowers that I love. It’s very hard for me to resist a book with a gorgeous floral cover. 😉 I’m sharing five books I read and five from my TBR. Back in 2022, I did a similar post: Top Ten Tuesday: The Last Ten Books I Added To My TBR With FLOWERS On The Cover. I made sure not to share any duplicates here. 🌸
Let’s take a look at some of my favorite floral covers!
(Link to Goodreads synopsis through book title.)

- Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings (My Review)
- Tom Lake by Ann Patchett

Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Wandering!
I don’t think I’ve seen Rainbow’s book before your list. That title intrigues me though. Also Christina’s books and Katherine’s books are great fits for this type of list. Several of them have floral themes which makes them stand out since they use it well. 🙂
I was so temped to just do an all Katherine Center floral cover theme post! 😃
I should have organized my list this way since I had a dickens of time coming up with ten books I’ve read with flowers on the cover. nice presentation.
Thank you! I use the five books I’ve read/five books on my TBR approach A LOT because it is hard to find all ten of either. 😃
I do love a pretty floral cover. I think Center has a lot of that with her cover re-dos, and the two up there have a strong resemblance to each other.
Yes! I was very tempted to just do an all Katherine Center book cover post. 😃
So pretty. I really like the cover of The Shortest Way Home
The Shortest Way Home has mixed reviews, but I really enjoyed it!
Flowers are book covers are so pretty!
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
Some of my favorite book covers, for sure!
Great picks, Dedra! I also find it hard to resist a flower filled book cover 😍 These are gorgeous and I have a few of them on my TBR. Can’t wait to read them!
I hope you enjoy them too, Dini! 🌸
Such gorgeous covers! I’ve not read any of these but I do have an arc of Rowell’s Slow Dance. I should be picking that one up soon.
Me too! I hope we both enjoy it!
Lovely covers! I have Hello Stranger at home and hope to get to it soon.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I hope you enjoy it when you get to it!
Don’t you hate it when LIFE gets in the way of your reading? So rude!
I’ve loved the Center books I’ve read, but I haven’t read the two you mention. I need to do that. These all have lovely floral covers too.
Happy TTT!

LIFE needs to learn that it takes a backseat to reading. 😃
I LOVED The Bodyguard. I hope you get to pick these up soonish!
The Bodyguard was on my list too! Great picks! Here are mine: https://lisalovesliterature.bookblog.io/2024/05/07/top-ten-tuesday-may-flowers/
Such a great book! With a gorgeous cover. 🙂
In the Weeds is so sweet, hope you can read it soon and love it 🙂
I still need to read Lovelight Farms! 🤦♀️ Hopefully I can get to both of these soon.
Pretty covers. I want to read The Bodyguard.
Have a great week!

The Bodyguard was soooo good! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 🙂
I keep seeing it around, and have wanted to read it for ages. I saw it for 99p a couple of days ago on Amazon and couldn’t resist 😂
These are so pretty!
Thank you! <3
I’m also a sucker for beautiful covers with flowers on it. All great choices, Dedra.
They’re so hard to resist! 🥰
A lovely list of floral covers! I have The Bodyguard on my list this week as well.

Thank you Nicole! <3
Floral covers are so great! I especially love the Katherine Center ones. 😀
I was very tempted to do an all Katherine Center floral cover post. 😉
I loved Tom Lake so much. I need to read Katherine Center. I keep seeing her around!
Yes! Tom Lake was great. And I recommend you start with either Happiness for Beginners, How to Walk Away (my first), or The Bodyguard. 🙂
Floral covers are always so pretty, especially the ones by Katherine Center. I love them 🙂
I was very tempted to do an all Katherine Center floral cover post. 😉
Love the cover of 100 Days of Sunlight, and the premise is intriguing as well!
Yes! It’s one that continues to survive my tbr un-hauls.
Great choices! Love love love The Paradise Problem. Have a good weekend!
I can’t wait to get to that one!! Happy reading!
