Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Book Covers Featuring Cool/Pretty/Unique/etc. Typography (Typography is the art of arranging letters so they look visually appealing and more interesting than, for example, the body text of this blog post you’re reading now.). I am going to broaden the theme a bit to pick books where there are more than one font on the cover or where I found them interesting in some way.
Dinner at the Night Library by Hika Harada - I like how they fit the title, author and translator all in the sky of the illustration by putting it on an angle (my review)
Everyone on this Train is a Suspect by Benjamin Stevenson - I like the mix of fonts, and the way they did the word train (my review)
The Wartime Book Club by Kate Thompson- Three different fonts probably shouldn't work but it does (my review)
Us Against You by Fredrik Backman- This is a different font choice
Good Spirits by B K Borison - I like the font choice here
Dear Mrs Bird by A J Pearce - I really like how the cover looks like a typewriter (my review)
Escape to the Northern Lights by Carrie Walker - chose this purely because of the curly bit on the end of the word Escape (my review)
The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World by Laura Imai Messina - I like how they use all lower case on this cover (my review)
Hooked by Asako Yuzuki - This book isn't out yet, but I like how the title is vertical instead of horizontal
The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie by Rachel Linden - Love the font and the colour on this one. (my review)
I like all of your choices! My favorite is probably Dear Mrs. Bird. Those typewriter keys are eye-catching.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely eye catching!
DeleteI agree on most of your choices that the typography is interesting. Like the book about the phone booth at the end of the world...why did they make the font so small?
ReplyDeleteNot sure, but it worked for me at least!
DeleteGreat variety of covers! Covers are so important to draw you to a book and give you a first idea.
ReplyDeleteI definitely do judge a book by its cover!
DeleteAll excellent choices! My favorite is Dear Mrs. Bird.
ReplyDeleteA popular choice Olivia!
DeleteI like your choices, particularly Hooked, which I think is so striking with a fish hanging next to the word hooked. I also like the phone booth at the end of the world because it's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteBoth of Laura Imai Messina's covers are pretty!

ReplyDeleteit definitely does!
