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 Typographic Book Covers (Book covers with a design that is all or mostly all words. You can also choose to do books with nice typography if that’s easier!) (Submitted by Mareli @ Elza Reads)
Hello Readers! I hope you’re well this week. I loved this topic choice today. Way to go Mareli for a fabulous suggestion! There’s something about book covers that are mostly words that make me stop and take notice. I love how creative they can be. I’ll be sharing five books I’ve read and five from my TBR!
***Be sure and check out the giveaways I’m hosting to celebrate my third blogiversary!***
Let’s see what books I chose!
(Link to Goodreads synopsis through book title.)
Books I’ve Read
- Dark Matter by Blake Crouch – From my review: “If you’re looking for a book to blow your mind, look no further.”
- She Said by Jodi Kantor & Megan Twohey – From my review: “Empowering and raw, She Said provides a detailed roadmap to the events that led up to the #MeToo movement.”
- High Fidelity by Nick Hornby – From my review: “This is my first Nick Hornby novel, and I can now say I know what all the fuss is about. High Fidelity is real life.”
- Frankly in Love by David Yoon – Still one of my favorite covers, this one is even better in person. From my review: “I LOVED this book. Oh man. It gave me all the feels. It will definitely be at the top of my favorite reads this year.”
- You Think it, I’ll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld – From my review: “I thoroughly enjoyed each and every story. I don’t know how she did it, but within a few sentences the speaker’s voice was clear and their character established.”
Books From My TBR
- The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
- Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
- Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer
- One Plus One by Jojo Moyes
- Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
Have you read any of these? Did you add any to your TBR? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Wandering!
A good list! I wasn’t sure if I had read enough books that were mainly titles, but I managed to get this list together!
Have a good week!

This prompt was a bit trickier than I expected it to be. But a fun one!
Luckily I had my Goodreads list on my phone to scroll through! I wasn’t sure how many I had actually read though…
Yes, thank goodness for Goodreads!
Yes! I love it!
These are some great examples of eye catching typography. Frankly in Love is one that would be hard to miss. 🙂
It’s so pretty! Even better in person. 🙂
Great list! Dark Matter was one of the first books I thought of for this prompt, too.

Yes! It’s such an eye-catching one.
Terrific list! I like the cover of High Fidelity the best!
Isn’t it fun?! So creative.
Ooh…you found some really good ones! 😀
Thank you! This was a fun topic.
I love seeing One Plus One. That book was so good. The Sun is Also a Star has that lovely string art which makes me think of the connections between everything in the story. A rather meaningful cover with mostly only type
I really need to get to both of those!
Great list Dedra. I didn’t think I would find any, so I did last week’s topic that I missed. I have actually read a couple of these. These covers are actually eye catching, I thought that covers with mostly text would be boring.
It was definitely a bit of a challenge! I had to do some digging on my Goodreads. 🙂
