Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature from The Broke and the Bookish. Today’s topic is: Top Ten Book Covers I’d Frame As Pieces of Art . Here’s my cover art gallery:
The books behind the art: Bird by Crystal Chan * Hope is a Ferris Wheel by Robin Herrera * Nowhere but Home by Liza Palmer * The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton * The Secret Hum of a Daisy by Tracy Holczer * Words and their Meanings by Kate Bassett * Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour * Half a World Away by Cynthia Kadohata *Smart by Kim Slater * No Place to Fall by Jaye Robin Brown
That cover for No Place To Fall is gorgeous! Makes me want to read the book even more.
Ever since I first saw them I’ve thought the covers of Hope is a Ferris Wheel and Ava Lavender were super pretty. And, I’ve always LOVED the typography on the cover of Everything Leads to You. Too pretty, I cant. GREAT LIST!
My Top Ten Tuesday!
First of all, I love that you thought to place a picture frame border around each of your choices. That is such a cute touch! I’m currently kicking myself for failing to include a few of the covers you’ve chosen on my own list this week, particularly Everything Leads To You, which I think is absolutely stunning. From the colour palette to the use of typography, that’s an image I would be more than happy to have framed as a print. Although I hadn’t seen them before today, I’m also really taken with the covers for Bird and Hope Is A Ferris Wheel.
These are all such wonderful choices, Lucy, and I love the way you’ve arranged them! 🙂
You have got some beautiful covers on your list. I love the cover of Bird. So simple, yet really effective!
Some definite lovelies. Ava Lavendar and Everything Leads to You were on my short list. Hope is a Ferris Wheel looks amazing (the cover), but I haven’t even heard of this book! Great pieces of art you chose 🙂
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday.

Some of these I wouldn’t have expected them to look that rad with just the idea of having them framed–but with the addition of those actual borders/frames… I can totally see why they’d work! Great decision on the addition, it really sells it :D!
Cheers,

I love your presentation of this post! The gold frames are such a nice touch. Hope is a Ferris Wheel has a gorgeous cover!
I’m really loving this post!
Be-U-ti-FUL. I like the surreal aspect to Bird a lot.
They all look lovely in their frames.
These are perfect!!! I especially like Hope is a Ferris Wheel and Nowhere But Home. Too bad they don’t make book covers for us to use as art! Other than just sitting them around our houses. 🙂
I LOVE the covers of Bird and Hope is a Ferris Wheel. Those designers are brilliant.
Great list, I considered putting Bird on my list too!

I love Smart! I would hang that on my wall!
There are so many pretty covers on your list today! That Ferris Wheel one is absolutely gorgeous! I’m not a fan of the No Place to Fall one though. It looks cool, but it reminds me too much of one of the covers to Paper Towns which I have mixed feelings about. haha 🙂
These are all so stunning! I need to get my hands on Hope is a Ferris Wheel!
So I haven’t read any of these books, but I love all the covers. Especially bird. I’m a big fan of simple covers.
Interesting, unusual choices. Thanks for posting!

Yay – Smart! And Hope is a Ferris Wheel is so pretty. Never seen it before. Great picks, Lucy!
I love the cover of Hope is a Ferris Wheel! Love the colors.
Great covers! I love the covers you have picked. Bird has such a brilliant cover, I really like that one. I also adore the cover for Hope is a Ferris Wheel, I haven’t seen that cover before. Nice picks 🙂 Here’s my TTT.
Lovely choices! So many of these almost made my top 10 but not quite.
The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender cover actually looks like a piece of art! All of these covers are absolutely gorgeous. Great picks!
