Top Ten Books I Bought Because of Their Covers (Top Ten Tuesday)

This is my first time participating in Top Ten Tuesday hosted by Broke and Bookish I love the idea! Since mine is a childrens blog as well Im going to throw some childrens books in. 🙂

1. Its Time to Sleep, My Love by Nancy Tillman

Isnt that a beautiful cover? I love all of the illustrations inside, too!

2. The Restorer by Sharon Hinck

This is one Im very glad I bought its a terrific story! It had me at time travel, of course. 🙂

3. The Hunters Moon by O.R. Melling

This is one of my favorite faerie trilogies, lots of Irish lore and adventure.

4. Dragonsong by Anne McCaffrey

I read this as a teenager. My favorite Anne McCaffrey series EVER.

5. DragonSpell by Donita K. Paul

I still havent read this. I really need to because I know Ill really like it.

6. A Treasury of Childrens Literature

I remember walking through a Sams Club as a teen with my parents and hinting that I really wanted this beautiful fairy tale book. It is large, hardcover, and filled with gorgeous full-color illustrations. I got it that Christmas!

7. The Carousel by Liz Rosenberg

I actually bought this for my sister. Its about two sisters who go on an adventure carousel horses coming to life and taking them for a ride through the city. Beautiful!

8. Bear in the Air by Susan Meyers

I actually received this one for review, but I absolutely love the cover and the old-fashioned illustrations inside. This was my daughters favorite book to have read to her when she was 2. I think it was eventually ripped beyond repair, so Ill have to get another copy.

9. Thicker than Blood by C. J. Darlington

This was the first ebook I ever bought, so I never got to enjoy the cover much however, I wasnt as drawn into the story as I wanted to be. I think that I expected something different, though. I didnt realize it was a modern story.

10. Healer by Linda Windsor

I really enjoyed this one. I was drawn in by the cover I love the time the story takes place and the fact that she had a wolf with her. Now I need the next book in the series!
