Top Ten Tuesday: Summer Covers

Posted on by BonnieReadsAndWrites

Top Ten Tuesday was 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.

This week’s topic is “Book Covers That Feel or Look Like Summer.” Since there are so many summer covers, I decided to limit mine to Netgalley ARCs that have either just been published or are not published yet. I also didn’t want ten beach covers, so there are some covers that might not scream summer, but remind me of summer all the same.

Click on the covers to find out more about the books.

The Cafe At Beach End: After her husband’s scandal, Meredith flees to the beach town of Cape Sanctuary.

Must Love Flowers: A widow trying to start anew and a young woman with an alcoholic father are drawn together.

The All American: To me, nothing says summer like baseball. This one takes us back to the All American Girls Baseball League.

A widow and a single mother meet at The Moonlight Gardening Club.

An Italian Island Summer: This was just published the end of May. A summer escape to Italy.

The Cottage On Glass Lake: A beach house escape and a time to move on.

I love to read and write book reviews in my free time. I review advance review copies of books on Netgalley for various publishers. I am also a reviewer for Historical Novels Review Magazine, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society. I review books from publishers of all size, large to small. I have a special place in my heart for indie authors. I will sometimes post a little writing that I might dabble in occasionally. I also am lucky enough to live in the Smoky Mountains, so I'll be sharing photos of the beauty around me from time to time.

      1. Thanks for answering my question. I’ve seen the term a lot in book promotions, but I’m not quite sure what makes “a perfect beach read.”

        1. I think it means something different for everyone. To me it means something fairly light. I don’t want to read about war or murders while I’m laying in the hot sun. I want something light and happy.

  7. Hey, just thought I would mention that your link up on Jana’s post took me to last week’s topic and not today’s. Just in case you care.

    These are all great summer covers. I especially like the Hotel Laguna one.

  17. I love the looks of all of these. I am interested in Laguna and The All American. They sound just a little different from my usual summer reads. I am listening to The Sweetheart List by Jill Shalvis right now. It is one of my 20 Books for Summer.
