Top Ten Tuesday-Mardi Gras Colours

 

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.  http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/top-ten-tuesday/

This week it's all about Mardi Gras colours-book covers that are purple, yellow and green.

1) Alison Weir-Anna Of Kleve

Book four in the Tudor Queens series by the author has a gorgeous golden yellow cover and the colourful portrait that Henry VIII first fell in love with. Sadly by the wedding he was already pursuing the mistress that became his fifth wife. Anne did of course, escape with a divorce and didn't have to spend much time in his company so she was probably the luckiest Queen!

2) Rachel Caine-Black Dawn

I love the book designs for this series and thankfully they kept producing the design for every book right to the end so the gorgeous set is completed. This cover is for book 1.

 

3) JK Rowling-Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

I totally love this set of covers which I have in both hardback and paperback. 

 

 

4) Charlaine Harris-Dead Ever After

Another series I enjoyed and I loved this set with the cartoon figure covers. This is my favourite cover in the series and it has those three colours featuring heavily on it.

 

 

5) JC Eaton-Booked 4 Murder

I don't read many cozy mysteries but they do have really great covers with vivid colours. I did like the first book in the series and intend to read further.

 

 

6) Joelle Charbonneau-Graduation Day

This is the third book in the trilogy, a YA series with a few similarities to The Hunger Games in book one. Great characters and a smart dystopian plot.

 

 

7) Jason Kristopher-Dying Of The Light 

Book three of an epic zombie series spanning decades in the fight to defeat the mindless enemy. I loved the covers of all three books and this one is a great example for green.

 

 

 

8) Katherine Longshore-Gilt

This book is gorgeous, all shiny and glittery though you can't really see it in the photo. It looks great when light hits it and it's another novel of Catherine Howard!

 

9) John P Logsdon-Rivalry Of Runes

This author has written a pile of paranormal detective series and this is book two in one that I've got but yet to read. Gorgeous!

 

10) Russell James-The Curse Of The Viper King

Sorry Barb, heerree's Booksnake! This is book three in the series and the hapless hero now has to face mutant snakes and spiders! LOVE the vivid green on the cover!
