This is my first top 10 Tuesday! I have been seeing them all over the blog and I always love to read them! I usually come up with my own little list in my head while I read others posts.
I don’t think I will post a top 10 Tuesday every week but will try to do a couple a month just for fun 🙂

Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and is currently being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This weeks prompt is: Books I Bought/Borrowed Because…
I decided to do 10 books I got because of the cover! This is the typical judging the book by its cover. All of these books I pretty much decided 100% based on the cover that it would be something I want to read!
- The Lanterns Ember by Colleen Houck
- The Grave Keepers by Elizabeth Byrne
- The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune
- The Sound of Stars by Alechia Dow
- The Lions Den by St. John Katherine
- The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert
- The Widow of Pale Harbor by Hester Fox
- Reign of the Fallen by Sarah Glenn Marsh
- The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles
- The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel










I am such a visual person when it comes to picking books! I really have to think the cover is nice or interesting for me to pick it up 🤷♀️ I usually wont pick up a book if the cover is not appealing to me! Cant help it!
Any books you’ve picked based on the cover?? Chat with me 🙂

The Lantern’s Ember cover looks gorgeous.
There have been a couple books I was drawn into because of the cover. The UK cover of ‘Soon’ by Lois Murphy was one of those. As was The Library of the Unwritten by A. J. Hackwith 🙂

These are all such gorgeous covers 😍 I admit to requesting The House in the Cerulean Sea because of this cover and I have been so tempted to buy Sound of Stars because of this cover too 🥰
