Top Ten Tuesday #21
Happy Tuesday, book nerds!
This post is coming to you a little late because I was out celebrating my birthday!!THANK YOU so much to everyone that has sent me messages, texts, IG shoutouts, and more on my big day! Y’all sure know how to make a girl feel special!!
Beyond leaving me birthday messages, you’re all here for our favorite weekly meme: TOP TEN TUESDAY hosted by Jana at ThatArtsyReaderGirl.
This week’s topic is Books With My Favorite Color On The Cover. Now this is where things get tricky. Ask the people that know me best and they’ll tell you that my favorite color is black.Invariably this leads to people judging me or starting the whole “black is the absence of color” debate. To avoid this I decided to utilize my runner-up favorite color. So buckle up because it’s time for my TOP TEN BOOKS WITH MY (SECOND) FAVORITE COLOR ON THE COVER.*
*I should also note that some of these — not all, but some — were selected simply for their use of the color and not for their content*
1) Landline by Rainbow Rowell 
That’s right! My second favorite color is YELLOW!
2) A Million Junes by Emily Henry
3) The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed
4) Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh 
5) My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick
Check out my review for this here!
6) Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by John Tiffany & Jack Thorne 
7) A List of Cages by Robin Roe 
8) Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young 
This was actually a surprise birthday gift from my girl Destiny! She’s amazing and if you’re not following her click that link NOW!
9) It Only Happens in the Movies by Holly Bourne
10) Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
This one doesn’t match because I already took an IG photo of this several months ago. I would have taken another one, but my camera died. Trust me the mismatching aesthetics is KILLING me!
Hopefully you enjoyed my selection of yellow covers! Is there a yellow cover I missed? Something I should look into for future collection? Are any of these books on YOUR list? Let me know below!
And, as always: Happy Reading!
Awh such good picks, birthday girl! I hope you have an amazing day! And I’m so very thankful for your friendship! You are such a bright light in the book community! 💛xx

Happy belated birthday!! My favorite color is yellow but I had SUCH a difficult time finding a bunch of yellow covers so I decided to go with something else for my TTT list. Yellow is definitely underrated 🙂

Thanks so much, Holly! I totally agree it’s a super underrated color! But I’m extremely biased because I drove a yellow mustang for like a decade lol! I’ll have to check out your list to see what color you went with!

Also these are great picks, and I love your pictures as well they’re gorgeous. A Million Junes is one of my favourite books, I love Emily Henry, and I have Sky in the Deep on my Kindle so I can’t wait to get around to that one myself.
Great post, and great picks. 😀

I love yellow on covers! When you see them on shelves, they really pop out.

I totally agree!! That’s why I tried to use an assortment of totally yellow covers versus pops of yellow. It can be quite effective when done properly!!!

Oh my gosh! Comment of the day!! Thank you for the birthday love, and for the incredibly kind comment on the photography. I don’t know if you read some of the other comments, but it’s been ages since I’ve attempted to take my own photos for post and I was so rusty and bothered by these I almost scrapped the whole post! So seriously your compliment made my whole day! =D

It’s a sleeper hit I guess. There’s like a whole sub category of books out there that are “not discussed often, but when they’re discussed are 5-Star loved.”

Thank you for the birthday love! Yeah I like the UK version more, but it wouldn’t have the yellow so I guess it’s meant to be.

Hadn’t come across yellow books yet for this TTT [or, like, last week’s TTT because I’m late to the game. I was on holiday okay?! D:] So a VERYVERY LATE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
Also, when it comes to yellow books [and books I loved at that]:
– Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson
– Big Bones by Laura Dockrill
Just saying. Haha.
And **** the people who start the black-debate. Black’s a color.
I love black. I’m pretty much dressed all black most days.
I love blue more though. 😛
