Reader Rayna

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by Jana of That Artsy Reader Girl!

This week’s topic is more of a freebie based on the theme of what April Showers are, so we can interpret this however we want: rainy day reads, books that make you cry, books that give you happy tears, books to wash away a bad reading experience, books set in rainy places, books with rain/raindrops/umbrellas on the cover, blue book covers, etc.

For this one, I’m choosing books with blue covers, because after last week’s challenging prompt, I just wanted one that was pretty easy and I could easy look to my shelves and find some pretty covers lol

Click on a cover to go to its Goodreads page!

• The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna – Other than the touches of yellow, this book is very blue! I’ve been wanting to read it for a few years now since I heard of it, so maybe this will be the year I do!
• A Winter’s Promise by Christelle Dabos – This translated work is extremely blue for the cover! Each cover is actually a fairly solid color with detailing in design of architecture, which I really like.
• The Subtle Art of Folding Space by John Chu – This cover has a lot of yellows also popping inside of it, along with reds and purples, but the dominant colors are various shades of blue!
• A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross – I really like this cover, and how the river flows across the cover with the flowers on either side of the banks for pops of color.
• The Sun and the Starmaker by Rachel Griffin – My version of this book comes with this custom cover in an all icy blue tone, and I love it so, so much. The reverse of the dust jacket also has the original cover, just in this icy blue color way!

• Atalanta by Jennifer Saint – I love the different shades of blue used throughout this cover to depict the foreground and background objects.
• The Last Cuentista by Donna Barba Higuera – Blue and orange are complimentary colors on the color wheel, so this cover is absolutely stunning!
• The Ashfire King by Chelsea Abdullah – The blue fire really draws the eyes, as does the gold across the bottom that outlines a city.
• Mirrored Heavens by Rebecca Roanhorse – I love this image a lot. I love the teals and turquoises used to depict her on the cover!
• To Ride a Rising Storm by Moniquill Blackgoose – The symbol and wings really stand out against the dark blue background, making for a great cover.

And there you have it! There’s my April Showers picks for this week! This was much easier than last week’s, that for sure lol

Do you gravitate toward a certain color or aspect in a cover, or does it not matter to you? Does it depend on the genre of book you buy? Let me know in the comments!
