This week's theme: Book Covers That Feel Like Summer.
I, of course, immediately thought of covers with beaches on them, because THE BEACH always feels like the epitome of summer to me. Like these three lovely, summery covers:

But there are other things that scream summer to me...like ICE CREAM...
and CAMPING!
 |
And then there are those fun summer outdoor activities like HIKING...
and RAFTING...
and, of course, SWIMMING!
And no summer is complete without at least one ROAD TRIP read:
But my favorite SUMMER covers still have to be these:

Happy Reading!
Some lovely covers there, Lark. So, so summery.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite would be "The Road Trip". So British.
My TTT is a Top Twelve this week.
I loved the books you picked for this week's TTT. The hardest part for me was narrowing it down to ten (or twelve!) because there are so many fun summery covers out there to choose from. :)
DeleteWhat pretty covers. They make me want to go to the beach.

They make me want to go to the beach, too!
DeleteLove those covers! I've The Road Trip but haven't got around to reading it yet.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it either; I just thought the cover worked really well for this week's TTT. :)
DeleteI like the variety of subjects on your covers. Yes to ice cream and yes to camping!
ReplyDeleteSummertime is more than just the beach, so I felt I had to represent. ;D
DeleteI love these covers! They definitely all scream summer. :D
ReplyDeleteI thought they were fun covers. :)
DeleteMary Kay Andrews always has such fun, summery covers. I love that one you chose.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I had fun choosing them. :)
DeleteI love the novels about road trips. I just got back from one. They definately factor into a lot of summer memories. Fun covers. Here is my TTT
ReplyDeleteWe always took a road trip in the summer when I was a kid, so they feel like summer to me, too. :D
DeleteYou have all the bases covered: the beach, camping, ice cream. Looks like summer to me! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's what I was going for. :D
DeleteExcellent list, Lark! I agree: beach, ice cream, road trips :)
ReplyDeleteRight? You've got to have all three for it to really be summer. :)
DeleteI just love Shipwrecked Summer! These are all so summery. Nice choices, Lark
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of Shipwrecked Summer; it's a book I do really want to read. :)
DeleteI think I read The Road Trip but for some reason never reviewed it on my blog or on goodreads. I remember enjoying the rom com
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually read that one, but it's on my TBR list. (Boy do I say that a lot!) ;D
DeleteI think designing book covers is an art in and of itself. Its main goal is to catch the browser's attention and draw him/her in. The examples that you have shown do that very well.
ReplyDeleteI know they're all covers that definitely drew my attention. :)
DeleteBeaches definitely always make me think of summer too.

I love beach covers on books! Probably because I'd love to live at the beach one day. :)
DeleteThese are all wonderful! I love those beachy covers... but ice cream and road trips are absolutely summer vibes too!
ReplyDeleteCan't do summer without ice cream! :D
DeleteI love how you set up your post. Summer vibes are definitely here and I can feel the heat. I have read a few of these, but there are a couple that I will be investigating. Great choices, Lark.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! There are so many fun summery book covers out there I had fun choosing these.
DeleteA great collection! And you're right, summer means an epic road trip!

My childhood was filled with family road trips every summer, so it doesn't feel quite like summer now without one. :)
DeleteSuch a great selection of covers. I especially love the Jill Shalvis.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it make you want to go outside and jump in a pool? :)
DeleteI'm actually in the middle of The Middle of Somewhere right now! I had to tear it away from myself because it made me feel I NEED to go hiking now, like immediately, and I want to save the rest as a reward for finishing an hour or so of trails.
ReplyDeleteI love the structure of this post too, you have definitely covered all the bases with summer activities! Every cover is perf for this theme; lots of interesting-looking books on this list that I might use for similar motivation to do other fun summer things.
Thanks for all your kind comments! I had fun putting this post together. And I can't wait to read The Middle of Somewhere before summer ends. :)
DeleteLoved Out of the Clear Blue Sky and The Road Trip! Yep, the beach or the lake embodies summer for me, too! :)
ReplyDeleteMust be that water thing! ;D
DeleteBeaches are what popped into my head first as well! Great picks!

The beach always feels like summer to me. Too bad I don't live by one. Thanks for commenting! :)
DeleteOMG! Chiggers. That reminds me of the summer I spent on my aunt and uncle's farm in Texas. My cousins and I went exploring in the brush and when I got back to my aunt's house, I had to take a bath with clorox to kill any chiggers I might have gotten. Fortunately, it did the trick.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
A clorox bath! I've never heard of that, but I'm glad it worked.
