Top Five Tuesday was originally created by Shanah @ Bionic Book Worm, but is now hosted by Meeghan @ Meeghan Reads. To participate, link your post back to Meeghan’s blog or leave a comment on her weekly post.
I found this on Davida's Page @ The Chocolate Lady.

This
week’s topic is Yellow. Meeghan says: "The first of May is Beltane and one of my fave Celtic celebrations. Beltane is generally celebrated with yellow flowers, and so we are doing our top 5 yellow books!"
I already did Top Ten Tuesday yesterday, so I moved this one to Wednesday.

Part of a stage play, unfinished, incomplete, published posthumously but became one of the most performed and influential plays in the German theatre repertory.
All the elements of a great story. Modelled after a real life figure, Woyzeck is a man with lots of problems, a "common" man, a low grade soldier with all the disadvantages the working man had at the time.
Paull, Laline "The Bees" - 2014
The story about a bee who does not conform with what she is supposed to be doing, she is smarter than other bees from her status, she is "above her class".
This book has given me a lot to think about.
Seth, Vikram "An Equal Music" - 1999
The story of a violonist and his problems with love, his job, his parents, but mainly love.
Vargas, Jose Antonio "Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen" - 2018
This is such an interesting book that puts a face to all those "illegal immigrants".
Yu, Hua (余華/Yú Huá) "China in Ten Words" (十個詞彙裡的中國/Shi ge cihui li de Zhongguo) - 2012
The book teaches us a lot about life in China during the lifetime of the author (born 1960) so far as well as about the author himself.

Not exactly my favourite colour, but Yellow does really stand out on a cover! It certainly attracts *my* eye.
ReplyDeleteTwo strongly yellow covers in one of my piles (both non-fiction) are - not surprisingly - on Bees and another on Mosquitoes.
As I said, Kitten, not mine, either, but I don't dislike it. There are worse ones, brown, orange ...
DeleteOf course, what other colour can one think of when talking about bees. Mosquitoes, nope, yellow doesn't come to my mind there. LOL
Oooh!! These are very yellow!! I love them!!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the "yellowest" of the covers. LOL
DeleteFunnily enough, there are lots of books that are completely yellow. And I'm not even talking about that German company that publishes all their books colour coded. German classics: Yellow. I had to include at least one of them (see Woyzeck ^^).
Green is my favorite color as well, but I do like a bright, cheery yellow. Most of the walls in my house are painted light yellow. Just looking at them makes me happy :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a nice colour for walls. We used to have that in our old house. This one was freshly decorated but if we ever need to paint, I think I might go for yellow, as well. Just a very light one. Brings sunshine into the house. Thanks for your visit, Susan.
DeleteThat's a cheery group of book covers!
ReplyDeleteI think so, too, Joy. Yellow is always a happy colour.
