Top Ten Tuesday - Books With Black Covers

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Welcome back to another Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl since 2018. It was born out of a love of lists and aims to bring book lovers together. This week's topic is a freebie, so I've listed list ten books with black covers since I noticed that many book covers could fit into that list. I haven't been able to post a lot of content, though I'm trying to get back on track, but Top Ten Tuesday is something I wouldn't want to miss. Some of the books on this list I have read, while others are part of my never-ending TBR. If you need a book with a black cover for a reading challenge, this is the list for you.

This week's topic: Freebie - Books with Black Covers

1. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

I loved The Night Circus when I read it a few years ago. With a deadly magical competition, slow-burn romance, and an immersive atmosphere, I couldn't put it down.

2. Powerless by Lauren Roberts 

I'm currently reading Powerless, and though I'm only a hundred pages in, I'm enjoying the story a lot. Let's see if my thoughts change after I finish reading it.

3. The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens 

I read The Pickwick Papers a few years ago, and I was surprised that I liked it. I did have to look up a lot of archaic words but it was a wonderful experience following the enigmatic Pickwick and his three friends.

4. A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal 

I read this book last month, and though it wasn't my favorite, I liked it (You can read my review of A Tempest of Tea here if you wish). When I was thinking of books with black covers, A Tempest of Tea was one of the first that popped into my head.

5. Dance of Thieves by Mary E. Pearson

Dance of thieves is sitting on my bookshelf right now, and I hope to get to it soon.

6. Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett

Another book that's on my TBR list. I've heard so many great things from so many people that I can't wait to read Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia Of Faeries.

7. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

I found the plot of the 7 1/2 Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle so unique and interesting, but I haven't managed to find time to read the book yet.

8. The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab

The Invisible Life Of Addie Larue is still on my TBR, as it has been for years. Hopefully, I'll be able to get to it soon.

9. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien 

Once again, The Hobbit is still on my TBR (I wasn't able to read much last month). I'm hoping to get to it soon. It's one of the most celebrated fantasy books ever, so I need to find out what the hype is about.

10. The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

I'll end this list with a book I have read. The Lies Of Locke Lamora was a little off-putting when I first read it. It was more violent and profane than I was used to reading. However, I reread it recently and loved it! Sadly the second book didn't leave the same impression on me. 

Thanks for reading! Also, it's been two months since I first started my blog, so rather than talk about a new review, I thought I'd give a little spotlight to my first review.

If you haven't read my review of A Far Wilder Magic by Allison Saft, you can do so here.
