This week's top 10 list is meant to be a rewind (choose a topic from the past), but I decided to create my own! Books are definitely a form of art when it comes to the words written between the pages. But what about those covers? I own a few that I have seriously considered framing and hanging on my walls.
Below is a list of my top 10 books (+ a few more) that I'd showcase as art (if I could bring myself to actually take a part the book's pages, lol). Be sure to check out The Broke and the Bookish for more details on this awesome weekly feature.
Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler [goodreads]
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell [goodreads]
Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson [goodreads]
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley [goodreads]
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen [goodreads]
Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas [goodreads]
Just One Day by Gayle Forman [goodreads]
Where the Stars Still Shine by Trish Doller [goodreads]
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith [goodreads]
The Piper's Son by Melina Marchetta [goodreads]
I have to say, Shotgun Lovesongs looks pretty amazing framed! I love the title too!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! The Piper's Son has always been one of my favorite covers - it's a gorgeous image. I also really like Just One Day's and any of Rainbow Rowell's.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I admit to being pretty critical when it comes to book covers, but these are all lovely. I especially like Shotgun Lovesongs and Attachments. Great pick for this week's TTT!

Shotgun Lovesongs looks beautiful, and I also think The Statistical Probability also looks wonderful framed; in fact, all of these do, you've picked some amazing choices there, and this is an amazing Top Ten Topic, what better way to spread your love for book covers than framing them, fantastic! :D

I love this!!! And now I want all of these on my wall!! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh! This is an awesome top ten prompt! I may have to choose a few different ones but I love your choices! The covers are fantastic (:
ReplyDeleteooh Amy & Roger would make PERFECT wall art!
ReplyDeleteI can SO see a wall in your apartment covered in these! You should totally do it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the first 4! Especially Attachments. I've been meaning to read it. What did you think?
ReplyDeleteThose Sarah Dessen recovers are AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, a lot of these would be really good as prints!! I think Just One Day would be beautiful! Moonglass as well. I never ever thought of putting book covers on my wall, but I definitely would after this!
ReplyDeleteFabulous choices! These have such gorgeous covers! I would get all giddy all the time if I had BED on my wall, though, haha.
ReplyDeleteUm YES!? Well chosen! Can I get one of each to go please?
ReplyDeleteI would have to mention any of the Wicked Lovely covers by Melissa Marr (though I haven't read them) and most definitely the *original* Across the Universe cover by Beth Revis. Those are fabulous. "Moonglass" by Jessi Kirby is my fave from your list. *gazes lovingly at*
Thanks for sharing!! Awesome list. ^___^

They all have beautiful, expressive (mostly large) fonts which I love, too. I think the most frame-worthy to me would be The Piper's Son. Cool post. Makes me want to look through all my favorite reads and do the same thing :)
ReplyDeleteI love the covers of Amy and Roger's Epic Detour, This Lullaby, and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight a lot! Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to buy posters of our favorite covers to put on our walls?! I would love that! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are perfect choices! There are so many YA books that I would love to have as wall art! I love how you showed them all framed! :D
ReplyDeleteLOVE THESE!! I think Where Things Come Back is my favorite but really it is hard to pick!
ReplyDeletePS. Can we use this as a future TTT topic? (Linked to your original one obvi). Let me know either way!
So pretty.. I loved to have any one of those hanged in my room. :) I wish there was an actual poster like these.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new cover of This Lullaby. I wasn't a huge fan of most of the new ones but I adore that one...which is nice because it's my favourite! My all time favourite cover is Life After Life by Kate Atkinson (the Canadian cover). It's a snowy scene with a fox on it. It's just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors on the cover for Open Road Summer. They're so pretty together. And seriously, I would SOOOO frame the cover for Attachments . . . and Eleanor & Park and Fangirl.
ReplyDeleteI love the cover for Where the stars still shine. It's beautiful and eye catching. I just started it today and wow. Its so freaking good so far. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love this as wall art in my office!
ReplyDeleteThat Amy and Roger's cover is so much better than the American hardcover (I can't remember if the one you picked in the US paperback or the UK cover). I agree that the PB Just One Day cover works better as a work of art, but I will always love the HC cover with the Allison model sitting in Paris and wearing that amazing watch.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this list :)
