"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at "The Broke and the Bookish".
It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.
This week's topic is: Books with Nature on the Cover (flowers, trees, landscapes, animals, etc.)
Nature on the cover. Nature can be many things, as Jana says, flowers, trees, landscapes animals or anything else that's beautiful juust by itself.
I have always loved trees, especially if it's just a single tree standing majestically in the middle of a field. So, it was clear to me that I had to look for books that have a tree on its cover.
I found many and it was hard to weed out the books until I was down to ten. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

I love trees, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lydia. I think they have such a calming effect. When I was little, there were poplar trees right behind my bedroom window. I loved falling asleep to their sound.
DeleteAs always, thank you for your visit. I will go and see what you came up wiht.
The Other is such an eerie cover!
ReplyDeleteIt goes well with the story. Have you read anything by David Guterson? I think eerie is a good way to describe his books. I love them.
DeleteThanks for stepping by.
I love trees as well, and I love these covers! In the Memory of the Forest is really captivating, and I love the tree silhouettes of Nightwoods. Some of these seem really interesting too, I think I'll have to check some out!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jordan. I'm not a huge fan of "Wuthering Heights" but I love all the others, certainly all worth reading. Would love to hear what you think about any of them.
DeleteThanks for visiting.
I love the cover for Mansfield Park. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Poinsettia, it's one of those cheap editions that you used to be able to get for a pound.
DeleteThanks for your visit and for leaving your link. I'll come to your page soon.
I love that you went trees because I went forest!
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Deanna. I mean, what would a forest be without trees? Thanks for your comment and visit.
DeleteI just love trees so much. Not only are they beautiful to be around, but they're so important. We need them! 🌳 My TTT post this week has a few photos of trees. Thanks for stopping by, Marianne!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lectrice. I can tell from your post that you love trees as much as I do. You are so right, trees are so important. Unfortunately, not everyone understands that, yet, but we are on a good path, I hope.
DeleteThanks for coming here and leaving your link.
Mansfield Park is the last Austen I have yet to read.
ReplyDeleteI see, Stacy. It's not one of my absolute favourites by Jane Austen but as with all of her novels, so well written. Enjoy.
DeleteAnd thanks for stepping by.
Pretty covers
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rue. I could have found three times as many, so I had to sort them by the ones I liked most. Glad you agree.
DeleteAnd thank you for your visit.
In the Memory of the Forest is nice- i like that one a lot!
ReplyDeleteAre we talking cover or book, Greg? Because it is also a wonderful book. Unfortunately, the author only wrote the one book and then died. I can just imagine how many more wonderful books he might have written.
DeleteAnyway, as always, thank you so much for visiting.
Trees are definitely popular on book covers. What's interesting to me is how they can evoke different moods and emotions depending on how they're depicted. They can be tranquil, creepy, ominous, majestic, etc. I'm glad you decided to highlight them today.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
That is probably what draws us to trees, they seem to understand us. To me, they mostly have a clming effect but I think I caught a few of those different emotions with the various covers.
DeleteThanks for that input, one of the many reasons why I love your comments.
Even though I am what some might call an 'indoor girl', many of these covers are beautiful. I especially like the Nightwoods one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah. I chose my favourites from those with a tree on the cover, so I couldn't say which one is my absolute favourite. I*m also an indoor girl, I'm not surprised to find so many of them here.
