Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic:
Pucker Up, Buttercup!
Books with Kissing on the Cover
It's no secret that I love romance. I read contemporary romance almost exclusively.
And even when I (very rarely) stray from that genre, there better be a romance element somewhere to keep me invested. :) So when I saw that this week's prompt was Books With _____ on the Cover, it was a no-brainer. Bring on all the kissy covers! 💋
The Ones Who Got Away - Roni Loren
Once We Were Starlight - Mia Sheridan
Still - Kennedy Ryan
True North - Amy Knupp
In the Penalty Box - Lynn Rush & Kelly Anne Blount
Breaking the Rules - Katie McGarry
White Hot Kiss - Jennifer L. Armentrout
Fireworks - Sarina Bowen
Tied - Carian Cole
Have you read any of these books?
I haven't read any of these but I've certainly heard of the CoHo All Your Perfects. As a non-romance reader (for the most part anyway) I've read one of her books and found her writing to be really well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mia. Colleen Hoover is definitely one of my favorites.
DeleteAww, so cute! The only one I've read is All Your Perfects.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cover, but a tough read.
DeleteI didn’t realize there were so many books with this theme. Interesting! I always wonder how models feel about doing things like kissing a stranger for a shoot. :)

Lydia - That has to be kind of weird. I wonder if any of them ended up as real life couples? :)
DeletePerfect! I love romance too, and love a good kissy cover!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a good kissy cover. :)
DeleteOoh, great choice! Only one I've heard of on here is CoHo's book which I enjoyed. I'm surprised I can't recall more kissing covers on my shelf... I notice that they're always *almost* kissing! 😂
ReplyDeleteLOL So true! The almost-kiss is very popular on covers. :)
DeleteFirst, I LOVE YOUR TITLE! It made me smile so hard. So perfect. Second, love all the kissing romance covers. We need some more of these and less illustrated covers.
ReplyDeleteLOL Happy to entertain, Deanna. :) And I couldn't agree more! I am *so* salty about illustrated covers. Ugh.
DeleteThis is a perfect theme for you! Whenever I think of romance books, I think of your blog :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

LOL Well thanks for that, Susan. It's definitely my genre. :)
DeleteNow that is very romantic choice! I guess you could just as well easily gone with "almost kissing" on the covers.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Elza Reads
LOL True, Elza! There are so many covers with that "almost kiss." :)
DeleteMy favourite book with kissing on the cover is YA book Afterlove by Tanya Byrne, this theme is also similar to my theme this week of books with characters on the cover. Happy TTT!

Thanks Zoe! I've not heard of Tanya Byrne so I'll have to look that one up!
DeleteLove this! I totally agree with you.. I just love all things romance so much! And these covers are amazing. I only read two of these so I definitely have to do some more reading. :D
ReplyDeleteMaureen - Always too many books and too little time, right? :)
DeleteInteresting theme for these weeks TTT and very romantic.

Thank you!
DeleteRomance is a great source for kissing covers!
ReplyDeleteLark - That it is! :)
DeleteCute idea!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison. :)
DeleteNice. These are fun. I like the CoHo one and the rain one :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg - those are two of my favorites. :)
DeleteLove it! I think the Roni Loren cover is my favorite. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark. I love that cover too. I've seen the same photo on another author's book and it always catches my eye.
DeleteWow. I love kissing covers so much! I read five of these too, so, great choices.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. I love a good kissy cover. :)
DeleteI bet that I have a lot of kissing covers hanging out on my kindle. I have read Fireworks and In the Penalty Box from your list and enjoyed both of them.
ReplyDeleteCarole - In the Penalty Box was cute. And I loved Fireworks. Sarina Bowen is always a favorite.
DeleteAhhh, I love a good kissing cover! Great choice! I've only read The Ones Who Got Away, but several others are on my tbr. :)
ReplyDeleteDedra: I loved The Ones Who Got Away. It was my favorite in the series.
DeleteLove it! Kissing covers are everywhere in romance but I love The Ones Who Got Away cover, I always think it seems so romantic with the rain. And I love the True North sweet forehead kiss.
ReplyDeleteBecky: Kisses is the rain and forehead kisses... so swoony!
DeleteGreat! Yes, kissing on the cover! I haven't read any of these. Now I wonder if I've ever read a book with kissing on the cover...
ReplyDeleteDeb: Kissing on the cover is practically a must for me. lol
DeleteAwww these are all so pretty together! I completely forgot about White Hot Kiss having a cover with them kissing on it. I'm hoping someday she writes a spinoff spinoff book in that series, I never want to leave that world!
ReplyDeleteJen @ Star-Crossed Book Blog
Jen - Between the Dark Elements series and the Harbinger series, I could just stay in that world. :)
DeleteOooh I love how you chose to interpret today's theme Tanya!
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks Sophie!
DeleteWhite Hot Kiss is a favorite of mine!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Carrie! Loved that trilogy.
