Top Ten Tuesday: Book Covers In the Colors of My Country’s Flag

[stardewdreaming]

hi, hello, good evening

As well as being slightly obsessed with Stardew Valley, I am also a huge bookworm and slowly discovering that there is a huge community of like-minded people on the internet. I'm not feeling quite brave enough to start interacting with them on any of the link ups just yet but I still want to join in and post my answers to the questions.

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 In the Colors of My Country’s Flag' and I'm going to pick the white and red of the St George's Cross. The books I find in these covers on my bookshelf include:



Little Women by Louisa M Alcott
Inferno by Dante Alighieri
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
A Christmas Carol and Other Christmas Writings by Charles Dickens
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
Just Like Magic by Sarah Hogle
The White Ship: Conquest, Anarchy and the Wrecking of Henry I’s Dream by Charles Spencer

As you may have noticed, I both own and have read a lot of classic literature, and adore the Penguin Clothbound series but I'm working on branching out, and trying new genres of books. I've recently discovered cozy fantasy as a genre which I am already falling in love a little with and I'm looking forward to reading more in.

I also need a book-themed icon!

You'd definitely find lots of people who like books on here.

I would certainly recommend kingstoken Book Bingo card, which is great fun: here I find it good for widening the scope of what I read.

If you haven't already found them, books and book_love are good communities on Dreamwidth. I've posted reviews to both, mostly cookbooks or gaming books.

That is such an awesome theme.
