This week’s topic surrounds your favorite color. It can either appear on the cover or in the title itself. I have a ton of favorite colors, and my Favorite changes all the time depending on my mood. Does anyone else go through phases with their favorite colors? I also like different colors for different situations, such as colors I wear versus colors of things I own. Anyway, I’ve chosen to showcase purple covers today!

That Inevitable Victorian Thing by E.K. Johnston
Wicked Like a Wildfire by Lana Popović

A Thousand Nights by E.K. Johnston
The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

Goldeline by Jimmy Cajoleas
Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft by Various Authors

Traitor to the Throne by Alwyn Hamilton
A Dance of Silver and Shadow by Melanie Cellier

The Library of Light and Shadow by M.J. Rose
Reign of Shadows by Sophie Jordan
I haven’t read any of these, but I want to!
Tell me which ones to prioritize and which ones I should pass on.
Which color did you choose this week?


My “favorite” colors shift all the time. I feel like it’s kind of about trends and what’s currently the “it” fashion must have or color. :)
This is a beautiful collection – “Reign of Shadows” always struck me as a stunning design and cover.
I love the cover for Wicked Like A Wildfire! And all these covers–soooo pretty I think I have some pure cover reads to add to my TBR xD
OOh those covers have me all *hearteyes*
Although my favourite colour is green (because it is most consistently my favourite and invokes a lot of positive memories), I have a few different favourite colours depending on what they are for. For example, although I actually really dislike yellow, I love that egg yolk shade in art and nature even if I don’t like it as a shirt. Purple is definitely a close second for me!
What beautiful covers! When I was a librarian, students came to me often asking for books by the cover color :-)
Oh these are gorgeous! All amazing but I especially love The Bone Witch (I’ve always liked that cover) and Goldeline- oh my gosh that one is awesome. Reign of Shadows too.
WOW the UK cover for A Thousand Nights is pretty stunning!
I’ve only read That Inevitable Victorian Thing and The Bone Witch. I had mixed feelings about both of them but I think That Inevitable Victorian Thing (I’m still kind of amused by how the working title just… never got changed and now it’s the novel’s actual title…) was my favourite of the two.
These are all just too pretty. I own The Bone Witch but I would love to own these other covers as well. <3
I haven’t read any of these, but I have to admit I wasn’t at all a fan of the first in Alwyn Hamilton’s trilogy so never continued! 🙈
Yay for us both loving purple; I chose 10 covers that colour too 💜💜
I am a big fan of Wicked Like a Wildfire. That cover, and its sequel, have really stunning covers.
Aside from Blue, purple is my favorite color! :D
A Thousand Nights has one of the most beautiful covers, there’s so much detail on the hardback – I love it when publishers put that much effort into a book’s design and it’s such a rich, jewel-tone purple. I’m really looking forward to Toil & Trouble – great list!
I did purple as well and don’t see any of the same books in your list, which is fun :)
My color was purple, too! 💜
OOh nice color choice! Oddly, while we chose the same color we have no book choice that’s the same! Lol!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
All of these covers are so beautiful! A Thousand Nights is my favourite :)
I did purple covers this week too. I’ve heard Wicked Like a Wildfire is really good but I haven’t read it yet.
I chose purple as well, but chose books from my own shelf. We didn’t overlap once! Gives me hope for more stunning purple covers. <3
About half of these are on my TBR, but I haven't read them, either!
haha I’m upset I didn’t think of Traitor to the Throne for that list! Purple is also my favorite color ;) we have some common books there!
I’m not sure I’ve thought about having a ‘favorite’ color for years. However, I do love purple and teal and dark pink and rich blue – really the jewel tones. Those books you picked above all have lovely covers, but I’ve not read any of them.
These covers are all so gorgeous! My friend and I were talking yesterday about the amazing covers being created…so different than those books I read as a kid where “dun brown,” and “slate gray” were the norm.
Happy to have found your blog from “I Wish I Lived in a Library,” and looking forward to reading some archived posts.
Oh I love these covers! So pretty!
Purple is such a nice color. Great cover choices…proving how important a good cover is.
I went with purple, too! We don’t have any covers that are the same, so that’s pretty cool!
All the covers you chose are absolutely GORGEOUS.
I chose purple today too & I’m loving these covers!
I don’t really have a favourite colour so I went with all the colours of the rainbow… https://whatcathyreadnext.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-my-favourite-colour-in-the-title-colours-of-the-rainbow/
Very pretty covers. I’ve not read any of them.
Bone Witch is eeeeeeerrrrie! And Dance is lovely!
I’ve read That Inevitable Victorian Thing (and included it in my Top Ten today, because I also did purple!) It was pretty good, if a little fluffy. Bone Witch was also on my Top Ten, though I haven’t read it yet. And I’m off to pick up Traitor to the Throne from the library today; I read the first one, Rebel of the Sands, and it was excellent.
omg these are beautiful!! i’m swooning over A Thousand Nights.
Oooh, those are all lovely! I haven’t read any, but (since I am a sucker for good book covers) I think I need to look into them…
Mine is also purple!!! :)
Top Ten Tuesday
Purple was my #1 choice, but it seems super common. So I decided to use my fall-back, which is red.
Sadly I haven’t read any of your picks, but most of them are on my TBR!
I could have used every single one of your covers in my post too. These are so gorgeous.
Have a great week.
I chose purple, too. :) Though I’ve read all the books I listed. https://classicsandcraziness.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-my-favorite-color-on-the-cover-or-in-the-title/
The covers are so pretty, I haven’t read any of the books you have listed. I hope you enjoy the one you pick to read first. My color is red. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks for the amazing blog.
Love all the purple covers you chose-absolutely gorgeous!
I love that I picked purple too — but we don’t have any of the same books on our lists!
Um… yellow. No! Blue!!!
I totally just clicked over and bought That Inevitable Victorian Thing, based on nothing but the title and the cover.
Apparently I have no will power, but that’s hardly news.
I hadn’t realised how many beautiful purple books there were in the world :)
Wow, you aren’t kidding! All these covers are beautiful!
