Top Ten Tuesday - Books with Handwriting on the Cover

 

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Top Ten Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

The following ten books all have handwriting on their covers. Six of these books I have read. The other four books are ones I want to read.

1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Burrows

2. Room by Emma Donoghue

3. The 57 Bus by Dashka Slater

4. The Guest List by Lucy Foley

5. Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

6. Burial Rites by Hannah Kent

7. The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

8. Velvet Was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

9. Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

10. Me & Patsy Kickin' Up Dust by Loretta Lynn

Have you read any of the above books?

I'm saddened to learned that Marjane Satrapi has died!! She was my age! I read and enjoyed Persepolis I & Persepolis II and Embroideries by Marjane Satrapi. All three books were good reads.
