Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week, she posts an idea relating to books and encourages other book bloggers to respond with their own top ten lists.
Since Top Ten Tuesday turns 10 years old this week, the prompt is to revisit an old topic and update it with new answers. I just moved into a new apartment and finally have no roommates so I’ve been on quite the decorating kick! Here are ten covers that I’d definitely frame for my new home. (Past answers can be found here.)
Covers that match my current (monochrome) aesthetic
The Night Circus and The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
While I was tempted to make my answer all of the different cover variants for The Night Circus, I showed remarkable restraint in only including the one. Erin Morgenstern is one of my favourite authors, so her books would definitely be the first to be framed.
A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
It should go without saying that I’d also want the rest of the series framed, as these covers are all gorgeous. I can’t resist minimalism, especially when it’s (mostly) monochromatic.
The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska
This cover is mesmerizing. If I don’t get it as a print, I would strongly consider getting something similar tattooed (if I ever work up the courage to get one).
Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibañez
I adore this animation style so much. The moon, in particular, catches my eye first every time I look at the cover.
Covers that would make great accent pieces
Dark and Deepest Red by Anna-Marie McLemore
The silhouette is absolutely gorgeous, and I love the subtlety of the dancing villagers within it.
Followers by Megan Angelo
This palette is much brighter than anything I own, but I just love the intertwined silhouettes and how well the colours complement one another.
Every Other Weekend by Abigail Johnson
The subtle couple, the symmetry worthy of an Accidentally Wes Anderson post, the “O” in other also functioning as a moon… I just love it all.
Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything
The colours here are absolutely gorgeous! I love the cacti, the brightness of the sun, and the warm feeling that the cover brings me as a whole.
Love, Jacaranda by Alex Flinn
The water tower is very cute, and I love how the couple looks against the cityscape. It’s slightly similar to a painting that hangs in my living room from a Paint Night event, and I think they’d look lovely together.
What are your favourite book covers? Are there any that I should add to my home decor mood board?
What a great idea for a topic! You picked some beautiful covers that I would be more than happy to have on my wall 😊
Thanks, Becky! Happy reading!
Very nice!
My TTT.

Thanks, Lydia! Happy reading! 🙂
Beautiful covers! I almost did the exact same topic – I still might at some point! I love the cover for Woven in Moonlight, and I can’t wait to read Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything. The Smell of Other People’s Houses is one really pretty book cover that I love.
Here’s my TTT: https://memorymeetsimagination.wordpress.com/2020/06/23/books-set-around-the-world-ii/
I had so much fun putting the list together. I’ve heard so many good things about Sia Martinez and the Moonlit Beginning of Everything so I hope you enjoy it!
Congrats on moving into your new place! These covers would definitely make lovely art for your walls. I especially love that cover for THE NIGHT CIRCUS. I haven’t seen it before.
Happy TTT!

Thanks, Susan! All of the different cover versions for The Night Circus are gorgeous, but that one is my favourite of the bunch.
The Night Circus and The Starless Sea are super beautiful covers! I also really like the original cover for This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills.
I hadn’t heard of that one before, but the colours in the cover are absolutely beautiful!
This is a wonderful topic with some seriously beautiful covers. Several are on my TBR list and I’m not ashamed to admit they’re mostly there because I fell in love with their covers!
Thanks, Jocelyn! I frequently add books to my TBR because of their covers, so I completely understand. I’ve only read about half of the ones on this list, but they’re all ones I’d recommend.
I love this post! I’m in love with both of Morganstern’s covers and I love the Shades of Magic covers too.
Thanks, Suzanne! They’re some of my favourites.
Clever idea! I’ve never thought of wanting book covers like movie posters as art pieces. I can totally see these framed on a wall.

Thank you! I would definitely buy prints of all of these to frame.
(or, well, I now realize it was the actual prompt a while ago, but still creative responses)
I hadn’t heard of Love, Jacaranda before but that cover is STUNNING! I adore the different shares of purple.
Isn’t it gorgeous? I may have added it to my TBR *just* because of the cover.
