I’ve been doing a few “cover” posts recently, AND WHY THE HECK NOT? Honestly, I’m not reading enough books right now to be busting out 10000 reviews anyway (…..I’ve been too busy writing), and ALSO, I freaking LOVE good book covers, okay? It appeals to my design-oriented senses. Or something. So anyway, this post I have taken from That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt. And let’s just say, THANK THE LAWD someone is coming up with something for me to post, because otherwise y’all would be hearing a bunch of crickets.
So I really thought hard about this prompt (and by thought hard I mean I sang the rainbow song “Red orange yellow green blue purple” over and over in my head until I came up with a color I wanted to post about), and decided that my favorite book cover color is WHITE. So feast your eyes on my FAVORITE WHITE COVERS.
1. I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
This book also happens to be one of my favorites.
2. A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab
I, in fact, love ALL of the covers of this series (all are white). And I also love this series. So win win all around!
3. Room by Emma Donoghue
I love how well this cover represents the book. Flawlessly designed!
4. The Summer that Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel
Another really simple cover that captures the story perfectly.
5. Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
Okay, I’m going to be honest. I don’t love this cover. BUT I LOVE this book, so I felt like I had to include it?
6. Warcross by Marie Lu
Kay, obvi I have to love this cover because of the rainbow. The story is pretty fun, too. Review coming out soonish!
7. Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton
Okay so I couldn’t find just the cover image of this book, so I had to post a photo of the book itself. I really do love this cover, and more importantly, I LOVED JURASSIC PARK!!
Do you have a favorite book cover color? Or, do a lot of your favorite books share a similar color cover? I was surprised that so many of the books I loved had white covers.
A.S. Thornton has evolved from book blogger to author with a particular fondness for writing forbidden love in ancient deserts. When not writing, she’s caring for dogs and cats as a veterinarian. You’ll never find animals at the center of her writing, though, because those fictional worlds don’t have veterinarians and her literal brain can’t accept that the poor critters would be without parasite prevention. Thornton’s debut, DAUGHTER OF THE SALT KING is available wherever books are sold.

I’m not sure I’ve noticed if favorite book have similar colors…I do LOVE I’ll Give You the Sun though. I think white covers with pops of color are great.

That Jurassic Park cover is so pretty. I drool over it every time. White while often used I haven’t seen around much during today’s topic. 😀

THE SUMMER THAT MELTED EVERYTHING is on my wishlist. I def want to read it. IGYTS is one of my faves of EVER. Love that book– Jandy Nelson is amazing & I’m not entirely certain she’s human because her writing is too good!!! I love white colored books because I’m all about simplistic and they tend to be more of that than other colors. Great list!

Jandy Nelson is SO GOOD! I wish she would write more!
Suzanne @ The Bookish Libra
Great selection of colors. Warcross is a favorite of mine. I love the solid white background with that pop of rainbow right in the center.
Ali
Yes, that is a great cover!
Tanya @ Girl Plus Books
Great picks! I love white with splashes of color. Warcross is such a gorgeous example of that!

I like rainbows, too! But black. No one cares what you’re reading in a waiting room if the cover is black1

It’s funny I’ve recently read Warcross (but in French -yeahh hello from France) and the french cover is wooooo different to the original one. It’s a very colorful cover and quite pretty too ! You should check it out !
Ali
OOOOOOH the French Warcross cover is SO COOL!! I am obsessed! I actually like it way more than the our version!
Fanny
Haha yeah I prefer it too… The design actually gives some hints about the book ! And I have to admit I find the us version quite cheap :S
Glad you like it !!
