"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists.
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.
May is the month of flowers, so I was not surprised about this week's topic.
May Flowers - Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with flowers on the cover, flower names in the title, characters whose names are flower names, stories involving flowers/gardeners).
Barbery, Muriel "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" (F: L’Elégance du hérisson) - 2006
Morrison, Toni "Beloved" - 1987
Shakespeare, William "Romeo and Juliet" - 1597
Stroyar, J.N. "Becoming Them" (The Children's War #3) - 2017
Urquhart, Jane "The Underpainter" - 1997 (not my favourite by this author)
📚 Happy Reading! 📚
P.S. I only noticed afterwards, that I only did five books. Must have mixed it up with Top 5 Tuesday. Sorry.
Interesting choice for the R&J cover. A flower by any other name....I did photos as well as books. :) https://readingfreely.com/2024/05/07/may-flowers/
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stephen. Yes, Shakespeare loves know right away why that cover was chosen.
DeleteBeloved was such a good story.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Lydia. My favourite by Toni MOrrison, though I do love all her others, as well.
DeleteGreat picks! I love that cover for The Underpainter and I've not seen these covers for Beloved or Romeo & Juliet before but they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many covers for many books, Dini, I'm always amazed at how different they all are.
DeleteThe cover for The Underpainter is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Definitely, Susan. I'm looking forward to your post.
DeleteI love that so many books are not about flowers yet have flowers on the cover. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/top-10-books-with-flowers-on-the-cover/
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stefani. I think flowers stand for so many different occasions, they are always a good choice. See you on your page.
