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?

    2. It's a novel that probably appeals to many people.

    3. Well, many people don't want to read about the war anymore, so that shows how good the book is.

    4. I also feel like part of it may be that there are so many novels set during WWII. That perhaps the topic is saturated.

    5. I don't know about that. We all should try to learn from history. And, as we can see, if a novel is good, it doesn't matter.

    6. I am fine with amount of novels regarding WWII. I'm a fan of historical fiction. But I have heard others complain about reading books set during WWII, like there are too many books about the topic. Maybe they don't like historical fiction. I don't know.

    7. Me, either. And I understand older people who lived during the war because they don't want to be reminded. But they will not forget.
