Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.
Each week they will post a new Top Ten list that one of their bloggers over at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join.
This week’s topic is: Top Ten Book Covers of Books You’ve Read
buttt….. I did a topic very similar to this when I posted my favourite book covers a few weeks ago. So I’m mixing things up a bit and posting my favourite book spines of books I own. Looking at my bookshelves I see so many fantastic book spines every day – I see them more often than I see the actual covers.
Here are some of my favourites.
Slated (Slated #1) and Fractured (Slated #2) both by Teri Terry
Seraphina by Rachel Hartman
The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
The Diviners (The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray — This was the book that got me thinking about spines and inspired this TTT. I absolutely LOVE the spine of The Diviners. It’s just so beautiful.
Halo (Halo #1) by Alexandra Adornetto
Shadows (The Rephaim #1) by Paula Weston — I met Paula on Saturday at Literati 2013 and just HAD to buy this book after hearing her talk. I’ve only just started Shadows but am already loving where it’s going.
Bloodlines (Bloodlines #1), The Golden Lily (Bloodlines #2) and The Indigo Spell (Bloodlines #3) all by Richelle Mead
Venom (The Secrets of the Eternal Rose #1) by Fiona Paul
Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer
So that’s my TTT for this week. How fantastic are book spines?! Are there any that you adore that I’ve missed? Any that you agree on. Feel free to comment – I love hearing from everyone.
I love how you changed it up by having your favorite book spines, I love staring at the book spines on my bookshelf; my favorite is Cinder! 🙂 My TTT list: http://aliceinreaderland.com/2013/05/20/bookcovers/

I love how you’ve done your post this week. Such pretty book spines. I love the cover/spine of Venom. Great list!
OMG amazing haul 😀
Not a haul unfortunately… but I do love the look of all of these on my bookshelves! Thanks!
Good thinking. I like the idea of the oft-forgotten spine having its moment of glory!
I haven’t heard of ‘Shadows’ before, thanks for the notice. 🙂 My hardback of the Diviners looks nothing like yours – your copy os so much prettier!
Shadows is by an Australian author – and I love pushing aussie books onto people! I thought it was interesting when she said that when she started writing the book she never intended for it to be able angels… but somehow they just perfectly fit into the book she was creaeting.
I’ve seen the US cover for the Diviners… I’m glad that mine is the Aussie version. It’s gorgeous! Thanks for visiting.
These are all pretty gorgeous – especially the book spines! Nice spin on the topic. And agreed that The Diviners is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing these 🙂
LOVE that cover for The Diviners. Ours isn’t that pretty :(. Also The Scorpio Races is one of my favorites too. I talk about that book so much, that I didn’t include it this week. Love that you talked about spines too.
I’ve not read the Scorpio Races yet. I’ve heard such amazing things that I’m excited to get started. I think it’ll be the one I read next. Thanks for visiting!
Cool idea to do book spines!!! I love them!! Fractured and Slated look so cool next to each other!
Thanks for stopping by My TTT
I think series nearly always look fantastic together on the shelf when they have the same type of covers. Slated and Fractured look amazing! Thanks for stopping by.
Do you know ISBN for the Diviners by Libba Bray? I ask since I click the link it took me to the paperback edition, not the hardback and can’t seem to find it on Goodreads. I really want the hardback! Thanks! If not can you check in the book, please?
