Top Ten Tuesday:  April Showers Brought May Flowers

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is a pick your own title 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). I went with books with flowers on the cover because I love a pretty floral cover. But I couldn’t just pick ten! Oops!

  • The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell with a morning glory on the cover.
  • Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell with a frozen red rose on the cover
  • Lies, Lies, Lies by Adele Parks with pink peonies laying on the floor and losing their petals
  • The Glass Queen by Gena Showalter with a glass rose on the cover
  • Aunt Ivy’s Cottage by Kristin Harper with two peach roses on the cover
  • Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust with pale pink peonies intertwined with a vine and a white snake
  • Edgewood by Kristen Ciccarelli with a girls who is covered in vines and flowers from the waist down.
  • The Younger Wife by Sally Epworth with the edges covered in a morning glory vine and morning glories
  • The Golden Couple by Sarah Pekkanen with a gold rose
  • Together We Burn by Isabel Ibanez with white flowers and red carnations
  • A Forgery of Roses by Jessica Olson with a red rose that has blackened petals on the outside
  • When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill covered in greenery and purple flowers
  • Hester by Laurie Lico Albanese with tapestry roses all over the cover
  • Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen with gold roses
  • And more

Do you love a floral book cover?

    All of these look so good! I have a feeling I’m going to be adding a lot of books to my TBR pile this week starting with Aunt Ivy’s Cottage.

    Gorgeous covers! I kept it simple for myself and went with this same topic and had plenty to choose from. I do love a pretty flower filled cover and it actually always makes me want to pick a book up more. 😂 Great picks, Tessa!

    So many covers with flowers and from so many different genres. Great selections, Tessa. I think that was why I went a different way, too many covers to have chosen from.

    Beautiful covers! I’ve read five of these, but I think my fav was Violet Made of Thorns.

    Lots of pretty covers here! I can’t even decide which one is my favorite. I guess that’s why you went with more than ten 🙂

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
