This week’s TTT theme is all about book covers. I can say that I have been known to wander through bookstores and pick up books based on their covers (more so than the title or author). 
Here’s what I came up with this week.
- Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown. I have to say that I need to refute what I just said. I did buy this book for the title, but I LOVED the retro look to the cover. (I also want to put in a plug for this book because it is the current Cook the Books selection and I’m hosting! You can check out the announcement post here.)
- The Heart: Frida Kahlo in Paris by Marc Petitjean. I love anything Frida and I bought this as soon as I saw the cover. I have yet to have time to read it.
- The Secret Book of Frida Kahlo by F. G. Haghenbeck. This was another book for CTB that I hosted back in September 2016. I love this cover and I absolutely bought this one because of the art (and Frida).
- Mexico by Josh Barkan. I seem to be on a theme here. I saw this book reviewed on a friend’s blog and loved the cover. She sent me the book.
- Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up by Bob Colocello. I absolutely bought this (for $2) at a used book sale totally because of the pop art cover (and Andy Warhol).
- Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. After I looked around my most recently acquired book stacks, I went into my old stacks and pulled a few beautiful books.
- Posession: A Romance by A.S. Byatt. And, apparently I went down another theme.
- Guinevere: The Legend in Autumn by Persia Woolley.
I quickly realized that I have a few favorite books with similarly art-themed covers.
- Chatterton by Paul Ackroyd.
See what I mean? - And, since I’ve gone down this Pre-Raphaelite art cover road, I’ll end with this one:
This was a great exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art last year. I love this art so I bought the catalog of the exhibit.
Next week’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday is “Books On My Fall 2020 TBR.” I have so many….
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Artsy Reader Girl.
