We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s topic is: Green Book Covers (In honour of St. Patrick’s Day today!)
Happy St. Paddy’s Day, folks! ☘️ We don’t celebrate the day over on this side of the world—we’ve got other big holiday celebrations coming up—but I did enjoy today’s post theme! I thought about using my physical copies for today’s post, but I decided to keep it easy, so I’m focusing on my owned digital books today! These might be a mix of read and TBR, but chances are most of them will be unread as I’ve got way more books waiting to be picked up than actually read… 🤭 This post made me realise that I had a lot fewer green covers than I thought I did, and that a very popular shade is turquoise that’s a touch more green than blue but still wouldn’t really count as green, lol.

♡ = I’ve read it!





Graveyard Shift by M.L. Rio ♡
Before We Forget Kindness by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Paladin’s Strength by T. Kingfisher
Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune






You’re A Mean One, Matthew Prince by Timothy Janovsky
Poison in Their Hearts by Laura Sebastian ♡
A Power Unbound by Freya Marske
Someone You Can Build A Nest In by John Wiswell
The Geographer’s Map to Romance by India Holton

Have you read any of these books or are they also on your TBR? Do you have lots of books with green covers on your shelves or were you surprised to find you only had a few?

I have also added Before We Forget Kindness and I hope to read it soon! So many different shades on green in here.
The cover for Paladin’s Strength is very cool!

I think green is popular for fantasy covers.

Sorry that I’m only now commenting on this, Lydia! Last week we had the Balinese Day of Silence (it’s called “Nyepi”) which fell on Thursday. Then of course, there’s Eid which followed after the month of Ramadan fasting and as the country with the largest Muslim population, it’s a pretty big celebration in Indonesia!

Great list! I love that set of covers for the Saint of Steel books, but they’re not the ones I have so I always forget about them.

I love these covers so much. I’ve seen the original covers and they give such a different vibe. I haven’t read them yet though so I don’t know which is more accurate/fitting! 🤭

Honestly, I think both work. I have a special place in my heart for the original covers because that’s what I’ve read, but the new ones are pretty too. Though, I do kinda like the original ones better because then I can have my own vague idea of what the main characters look like instead of the cover image overwriting that. (That is always a problem with people on book covers for me.)

I’m in Europe and we don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day either. It’s typically celebrated in Ireland though, which isn’t that far away.

I feel like I want to re-read the first book. I remember enjoying it a lot last year but I was also reading it during a hectic time and so I hardly remember it now 😂 It was such a fun time though—that’s all I remember! I hope we both love the second book just as much if not more 🙂
