Top Ten Tuesday is a tag hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's prompt is "April Showers".
I was unable to find more than three books with rain and/or umbrellas on the cover, which was my original idea, so instead I decided to go with blue covers!
These are alphabetized by author's last name, because why not, and all covers are linked to Goodreads.
Twice, by Mitch Albom
Genre: Magical Realism
Release Year: 2025
I haven't read this one yet! The only thing I've actually read by Mitch Albom is Tuesdays with Morrie, but I love that book, so I'm excited to pick this one up. I'm very intrigued by the concept.
Courting Mr. Lincoln, by Louis Bayard
Genre: Historical Fiction
Release Year: 2019
I loved this book, and I'm still not 100% sure why.
A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventure, by Angela Bell
Genre: Historical Romance
Release Year: 2024
Another one from my TBR! I only just realized that this is sort of a retelling of The Nutcracker.
Bitterblue, by Kristin Cashore
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Release Year: 2012
This was probably my least favorite of the Graceling Realm series, just because it's so sad and dark. That doesn't mean it's any less good than the rest of the books, though!
The Power of Moments, by Chip and Dan Heath
Genre: Nonfiction
Release Year: 2017
I will happily read whatever Chip and Dan Heath want to write about. They are brilliant.
Aftertaste, by Daria Lavelle
Genre: Magical Realism
Release Year: 2025
I'm still not over this book.
Gossamer, by Lois Lowry
Genre: Middle Grade Fantasy
Release Year: 2006
It's been so long since I read this! I remember liking it, though.
Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six, by Lisa Unger
Genre: Thriller
Release Year: 2022
This was a fairly recent recommendation from my bestie. Hopefully putting it on this list will help me get to it sooner!
Swimming in a Sea of Stars, by Julie Wright
Genre: Young Adult
Release Year: 2023
This is the second time I've put this on a list without having read it, so I should really get to it soon!
Made You Up, by Francesca Zappia
Genre: Young Adult
Release Year: 2015
Eliza and Her Monsters is still my favorite Francesca Zappia book, but this one really stuck with me.











I’m curious about Twice.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It looks so interesting! And I think it's fairly short, too, so I have no excuse not to read it lol.
DeleteI loved Lois Lowry’s books as a kid, but I never read any more of them as an adult. I should change that. Thank you for stopping by earlier.
ReplyDeleteI've thought about rereading The Giver many times–I just haven't gotten around to it yet!
DeleteMade You Up has such an eye-catching cover.
ReplyDeleteNice covers. Have a good day and a good week. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2026/04/21/top-ten-tuesday-28-april-showers/
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLovely covers, thanks for sharing your #TTT
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteA great collection of blue covers!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT for the week: https://readbakecreate.com/the-ws-have-it-ten-titles-starting-with-w/
Thanks! :)
DeleteMade You Up was on my reading list for a while. Now I'm wondering if I should put it back on.
ReplyDeleteIt was good!
DeleteI had difficulty finding rainy covers too, somehow! I'd expected them to be way more common. Some fun picks here!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it wasn't just me having trouble with rainy covers haha!
DeleteI love a nice blue cover. The color is VERY versatile!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
It is! I even decided to go with a very specific shade of blue and was easily able to find ten covers! I almost want to do this with other shades of blue now :D
DeleteI should look for The Power of Moments. What a variety of genres with blue on the cover!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great book! I had a lot of fun finding this specific shade of blue on covers :)
DeleteBlue is a great option for April Showers! Love the blue covers.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy!
