Typography Book Covers

September 27, 2022September 27, 2022by amyleighreads2 Comments

Hi friends, it’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday! This week’s prompt is books with typography covers and being a predominately fantasy reader this was difficult lol I’ve decided to go with books that have the title as the main focus with maybe one or two other graphics or images.

Here are 10 books I’ve read that have mostly typography covers:

5 Favs under 500 Pages

September 23, 2022September 19, 2022by amyleighreads1 Comment

Around this time for the last few years I’ve been posting 5 of my favourite books over 500 pages but I’ve found this year I’ve been drawn to a lot more shorter books and novellas. So I figured why not post 5 of my favourite shorter books that I would highly recommend to you all:

Into the Riverlands by Nghi Vo – 112 pages

This is such a engaging and entertaining way to learn about the other characters and still get to hear the different tales.

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher – 176 pages

The overall pacing was very well done. Though not a lot happens for about 3/4 of this book I still felt compelled to continue reading and figure out what was going to happen next and what was actually going on!

Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica – 211 pages

This book was just very uncomfortable to read but was a wild.

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca – 120 pages

This genuinely made me feel sick and when I have such a visceral reaction to a book I can’t help but rate it higher. Disturbing, strange and not what you would expect!

Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire – 150 pages

I think this book in particular my favourite in this series. Cora feels a lot more relatable as a character and overall the plot and pacing were still quite fast but highly engaging. For being a novella I think there was the perfect amount of context, mystery and thrills!

The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien

Yes! It’s been about 5 years since I read this book and it was everything I remembered and more.

Absolutely! It is a little hard to get into, Tolkien’s prose takes a bit to get used to but the audiobook was a great way to take the story in.

Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

Since I’m still in the midst of my slump I wanted something quick and entertaining and easy to get through and I’ve found the Dresdan Files always comes through for me!
