Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s prompt was actually Books With My Favorite Color on the Cover, but I have three favorite colors (kelly green, purple, and black), so I opted to do this instead!
NOTE: I had to stick to 2018 covers, because if I branched out into 2019, this list was gonna be 15-20 instead of 10…

May 8, 2018You have some stunning book covers on this list and a lot of books that I am excited about or loved such as Summer Bird Blue, The Way You Make Me Feel, Escaping From Houdini, Girls of Paper and Fire and The Astonishing Color of After.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you, Nicole! Don’t they all sound so good? 🙂
Keri
May 8, 2018Ooh, I love the spin you put on this TTT! All these covers are pretty, especially Girls of Paper and Fire! I can’t wait till it releases!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you so much, Keri! Yessss, that cover is so lovely! I’m sad that it got pushed back but at least it was only by a couple of weeks!
etinosa
May 8, 2018So many pretty covers this year. Muse of nightmares and girls of paper and fire are really gorgeous.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Yes, we are being super blessed with these covers haha! :0
Shayna
May 8, 2018Oh, you and I have similar tastes in covers it seems, because I loved these! I think The Astonishing Color of After and Bright We Burn would be my favourites though. Nice spin on this week – it’s so hard to pick just one colour! Here’s mine if you want to check it out: https://clockworkbibliotheca.blogspot.com/2018/05/ten-books-with-green-titles.html
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you, Shayna! 😀 Book cover twins, yessss! I’ll totally check yours out, too!
ChrissiReads
May 8, 2018So many gorgeous covers! <3 I really like the cover of The Surface Breaks by Louise O'Neill, that has to be one of my favourites of this year.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you! I had to look that one up, and omg, it is BEAUTIFUL!
Ellyn
May 8, 20182018 is such a good year for covers (and books for that matter)??? I’m super excited for 9 From the Nine Worlds – the cover looks fantastic. I’m also super excited for Escaping From Houdini but, the cover is definitely not my favourite.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Agreed, Ellyn! #blessed lmao! And yeah, EFH isn’t my fave in the series, I gotta admit! I do like it, though.
Taasia @ librapaintspages
May 8, 2018Whoa, swarmed by beauty <3 There are so many good ones, but I have to say, the All Out and The Way You Make Me Feel covers are GORGEOUS!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Yaaay, I’m glad you agreed on the covers! I honestly think The Way You Make Me Feel is soooo gorgeous, and I’m so excited for my physical copy to get here.
Kelly @ Wandering Through Books
May 8, 2018This just seems to be a year of pretty fantastic covers! I think my favourite cover on your list is Muse of Nightmares but that might also be because I’m really, really anticipating the the release for suspense reasons…
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you, Kelly! Isn’t Muse gorgeous? I’m about to finish Strange the Dreamer and I’m loving it!
Tamika @paperback & flick chick
May 8, 2018All of the covers from the Nevernight series by Mr. Kristoff are bloody amazing! They are complete works of art!!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018They really are! I’m so glad you feel that way, too. I LOVE the US and UK covers for all of them and I can’t wait for the UK cover reveal for Darkdawn!
Tamika @paperback & flick chick
May 11, 2018Me either! 🙂
Annemieke
May 8, 2018I quite like 9 From the Nine Worlds cover as well but it is so different from the others he’s had. Even so I am super excited for it. I can’t really choose between all the pretty covers. Too many
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Yes, it is VERY different from the others he’s got! I always like his covers, for the most part. I think the only exception is the Kane series, I don’t love those. But I always say that Magnus and Apollo have some of the most gorgeous covers I’ve ever seen in any series!
Annemieke
May 11, 2018I still drool over the first Apollo book.
Holly
May 8, 2018So many aesthetically pleasing books being released this year <3 Also, I had no idea that Rick Riordan is coming out with another book?!?!?!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Yessss! I think it’s like a novella or spinoff of the Magnus series? I’m not 100% sure… I’m just gradually becoming so obsessed that I already pre-ordered it, whoops lol.
Lin
May 8, 2018OOOoooo why are all the books this year so pretty??? Next year looks like they are going to be better… and we’re just going to buy all the pretties….my back account will not stand for this!
I really liked the new cover for Vicious by V.E. Schwab… and Vengeful’s cover is also lovely…. except that the vicious book I have now will not match it’s sequel ;_; *crying silently inside*
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Right?! Lol our wallets will be crying but at least our shelves will be happy! Oh no, so sorry about Vicious! I’ve been putting off buying it for exactly that reason, but I pre-ordered the re-release a few days ago.
Louise
May 8, 2018I adore that flare on Bright We Burn. I really need to catch up that series.
My TTT this week.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Isn’t it gorgeous?! And such a good series. I hope you like it! ♥
La La in the Library
May 8, 2018I adore the cover of the Astonishing Color of After. ?
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018It’s so lovely! Have you seen the naked hardback? It’s hot pink! ♥♥♥
Cheryl Malandrinos
May 8, 2018Nice covers. Muse of Nightmares and Darkdawn are especially pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Barb (boxermommyreads)
May 8, 2018Oh yea, you’ve got some of my favorite covers of this year here too. I especially love Bright We Burn!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Isn’t it lovely?! Haha I squealed when it was revealed, I swear – one of my fave series ever and it’s just so lovely. I love all of the covers for that series!
Tammy
May 8, 2018A fantastic group of covers! I’m super excited for Darkdawn too? And I think the cover for Emergency Contact is brilliant!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you, Tammy! Yesss, they’re so lovely. Emergency Contact is just such a nice pale pink – I want more books in that color!
iloveheartlandx
May 8, 2018Muse of Nightmares has a gorgeous cover!
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/top-ten-tuesday-158/
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018It really does! I only wish the UK cover was as pretty to me as the US one is, since I have the UK edition of the first book!
iloveheartlandx
May 11, 2018Ugh that’s annoying! I prefer the US one too, the purple is a lot nicer than the orange.
anovelglimpse
May 8, 2018Muse of Nightmares is gorgeous!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018It really is! *heart eyes forever* haha that series is just blessed with gorgeous covers!
Aymee (@asphaltcowgrrl)
May 8, 2018I’m loving the cover for Bright We Burn!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Yesss, it’s so lovely and unique! 🙂 I’ll check your post out too, thanks!
tasya @ the literary huntress
May 8, 2018The covers for Bright We Burn and Darkdawn are amazing!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Aren’t they fantastic?! I’m in love ♥♥
louise ☆
May 8, 2018So many pretties ? Girls of Paper and Fire is definitely my favourite from your list! 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Agreed, Louise! 😀 Oooh, I’m glad you like that one! I think it’s gonna be such a good book on the inside, too, lol!
danidewey
May 8, 20189 from the Nine Worlds is a gorgeous cover. I don’t think I’ve seen that before. Happy reading!
Dani @ The Restricted Section
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018It really is. ♥ Thanks, Dani! Happy reading to you, too!
Adele Williams
May 8, 2018I love some of these covers. The Astonishing Color of After cover really made me want to grab a copy when I saw it. The colours of Summer Bird Blue are gorgeous. Darkdawn is so obviously Jay Kristoff at a glance. I’m currently reading Nevernight so I should be ready to read book 3 when it comes out 🙂
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Okay, so my favorite thing about Astonishing is actually UNDER the dust jacket… the naked hardback is HOT PINK! It’s so gorgeous! And yes, Darkdawn really is so Kristoff, haha. ♥ I love it. Yay! I’m hoping to pick up Godsgrave in the next month or two.
flippingthruthepages
May 8, 2018All of these covers are so pretty and colorful. Loved your list. Almost all of these are on my TBR 😀 I recently read Starfish by Akemi and am quite excited about Summer Bird Blue 🙂
My TTT: http://flippingthruthepages.com/2018/05/ten-books-with-blue-in-the-title-and-having-blue-cover/
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you! 🙂 I’m so glad you liked Starfish, then – it was one of my fave contemporary releases of 2017.
Nerd Narration
May 9, 2018Great list! And I couldn’t agree more about Darkdawn. I said in last week’s TTT post that it’s simply the best cover I’ve seen in ages!! If I went with black (like I wanted to) instead of yellow for this week’s prompt that easily would have made my list! Love you and this list! =D http://nerdnarrationblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-my-second-favorite-color-on-the-cover/
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Dude, it seriously is one of THE best covers ever, lmao! I actually just commented on your post and then I saw this – I love that you went with yellow because I hadn’t seen anyone else go with that! ♥
Nerd Narration
May 11, 2018Thanks, lovely! Yeah I was apparently a lone wolf with that color choice!
emmareadstoomuch
May 9, 2018i’m totally obsessed with the Emergency Contact cover!!
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Isn’t it amazing? I swear, just… it’s so simple and AMAZING? And I love Penny’s hair on it so much? And the color… UGH
Flavia
May 9, 2018These are all BEAUTIFUL! I’ve read some, and most of the rest are on my TBR hehe 🙂 Great choices!
My TTT: http://flaviathebibliophile.com/top-ten-tuesday-49/
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Yessss, twinning haha! ♥ Thanks love, I’ll check yours out too real quick!
bookishinbed
May 10, 2018Summer Bird Blue has such a beautiful cover. I don’t know anything about it but I’m very excited to look it up.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018It really does! Akemi writes such gorgeous, sad, beautiful contemporaries and the rep in Starfish, her debut, was amazing so I have really high hopes for this one.
bookishinbed
May 13, 2018I heard a lot of people talking about Starfish. I was eying it at the library the other day. If I haven’t forgotten my library card at home I was going to borrow it. Next time.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 16, 2018Oh noooo! I hate when I get to the library and realize I forgot my card, lol – it used to happen to me way too often. I hope you like it when you pick it up@
Lea (@DrumsOfAutumn)
May 10, 2018I love the cover for 9 From the Nine World even though I don’t have any interest in Rick Riordan’s books. But somehow the cover reminds me of World of Warcraft haha 😀 one of my favourites of this year is The Surface Breaks by Louise O’Neill! I actually just ordered my hardcover copy and cannot wait TO STARE AT IT ALL THE TIME 😀
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018I could 100% see the WOW comparison! As soon as I read your comment, I was like, oh holy crap, YES haha! I totally see it. And The Surface Breaks is super gorgeous!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
May 10, 2018I like your spin on the topic. The books with the birds on are my favorites.
Destiny @ Howling Libraries
May 11, 2018Thank you so much! I love bird covers, too. 🙂
