Happy Tuesday! I had a hard time getting into today’s TTT topic — Books I Read/Avoided Because of the Hype. So I decided to go off on a tangent and list books whose covers made me buy them. I am a sucker for a great cover. And I don’t seem to have a type that catches my eye either, although 4 on my list include children. But all the books languish on the TBR shelves. Clearly I have a problem with buying, then not reading books. I buy books as though I will live until I am 538. LOL! Let me know if you have read any, and if so, which I should begin immediately.
For all the hype, visit That Artsy Reader Girl.
The Covers Made Me Buy Them
Catching The Wind by Melanie Dobson
The Children’s Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin
The Constantine Conspiracy by Gary E. Parker
The Good Dream by Donna VanLiere
The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
Quaker Summer by Lisa Samson
Remember Me by Mario Escobar
The Romanov Conspiracy by Glenn Meade
The Rose And The Thistle by Laura Frantz
The Secret Book of Flora Lea by Patti Callahan Henry
The Children’s Blizzard was so sad. Good read, though.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
It’s been on my TBR a while.
I also have this affliction, LOL! BUT, I have been working REALLY hard on reading more of what is on my shelves this year, and buying less…
Good for you!
The Mystery of Mrs. Christie has been languishing on my shelf for a few years now. I keep meaning to read it, but then other books take priority.

I haven’t read any of these books, but I also have a tendency to buy books because I love the cover. I’m just waiting for a vampire to come along and turn me into one of them so I can actually finish my TBR. Have a great week.
Here’s my TTT if you wish to visit – https://justanothergirlandherbooks.blogspot.com/2024/09/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-bought-because.html
LOL!
I am also a sucker for a good cover. I would say I have a type though. Quake pr Summer would have gotten me for sure.
Would love to hear your thoughts on my Top Ten Tuesday list.
I like a good book cover too! The cover for The Rose and the Thistle is really pretty. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I’m the same when it comes to buying books! Ha ha.
I’ve read two of these: THE CHILDREN’S BLIZZARD and THE MYSTERY OF MRS. CHRISTIE. I liked both of them, but didn’t love them. I actually enjoyed the non-fiction account of the children’s blizzard by David Laskin more than I did this fictional account, although both are interesting and memorable.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
