#1 - I like spooky old house or even castles or any old buildings.

#4 - Oh yes, books with books on the cover, I have seen many of these and I like them.

#5 - Sort of like a hidden mystery that you have to look closely to find.

I have checked out books with amazing covers even when I know I won't read them. Some covers are just too amazing not to take a peek.

Great list. Have a lovely day.

I'm with you on Spooky Old Houses and Books! :D

Food on a book cover will definitely make me give it a second look! I think that's how I started in on the Noodle Shop mysteries by Vivien Chien. ;-)

My TTT

Did you change your header??? I LOVE IT! So adorable! I'm jealous!
So #3...Have you read Amy Harmon's Where the Lost Wander? I can see that being up your alley. I haven't read it yet myself, but I love her writing.

I've figured out that what you can judge by a book's cover is what the publisher wants you to think about it. Transportation pictures and maps or compass roses appeal to my repressed wanderlust. Also, I almost always love books with covers by Brett Helquist.

I like your twist on this topic by going with general ideas. I have been quite drawn to the contemporary romance cover style that is popular right now.

I also love broody landscapes and seeing food on covers.

My post: https://lydiaschoch.com/top-ten-tuesday-titles-that-made-me-want-to-read-the-book/

I don't know if I could come up with categories the way you did, but I know I tend to like bright and pretty covers as they usually cover light and fluffy books. I am big on covers though, and it takes a lot to get me to read a book with a lackluster cover.

I agree, covers that show something that's not quite right are often the most eye-catching.

Here's my list this week.

Love your take on the topic! I always love fall scenes or books on covers as well :)

I did start reading Green Lights, and for some ODD reason,a lot of my friends were interested in reading it. So…I would have to say covers with Matthew McConaughey. Or however you spell it. 😉

Old houses- absolutely! There's something about covered wagons too, and heading west- I've always been interested going back to the Little House books.

Ocean travel- yes. And autumn settings... :)

You always have such an interesting take on the Top Ten Susan. I steer clear of spooky looking covers but love quaint towns, food and books (libraries, bookstores etc.). I love your new look as well. Great job!

I love what you did with this weeks theme! I agree with a lot of these, especially small towns and food!

I love spooky houses on covers too--they also made my TTT this week! :)

Great choices; I especially agree with you on 3, 4, and 6. Those are always hard for me to pass up for at least an extended look at them. Another eye-grabber for me is the re-issued books from the forties and fifties that use the original artwork...even the pulpiest of them.

Love your take on this topic and I'm loving your blog!

I love your take on this weeks topic. I love book books, food books, creepy houses on the cover etc...I am not sure if I have said it before, but I love the fun look of your blog.

First of all, I LOVE the new look of your blog! Great job!

I agree with most of your choices, particularly 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 & 9!

A friend and I passed by an abandoned WWII military barracks recently and she wanted me to slow down so she could take pictures. I was like, "Nope! I know how this story ends and I am not getting caught in that trap!" She got a blurry photo as I sped by. It was soooo creepy! There's no way that it hasn't been in a scary movie or book.

What a great list!

Books, bookstores, libraries are all things that will make me pick up a book.

And if the cover has some really yummy looking food on the cover, I'm going to pick it up! I actually read The Coincidence of Coconut Cake last year and enjoyed it. I haven't tried the recipe for the cake yet, but I am really tempted.

When you get the chance, I hope you come over and check out my post: http://readbakecreate.com/15-book-covers-that-scream-summer/

Love the twist you took on the theme! Great choices!

Love your take on the topic!

Awesome post

Great idea to go for covers in general. And they all represent the kind of covers I am attracted to, as well. Surprise, surprise. LOL

Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.

I love how you picked out cover themes. I find most covers aren't very original, but it's interesting to read about what draws you. I'm from Phoenix myself, hope you're weathering the summer okay!

I love your take on this challenge today! I’m also a such a sucker for covers, I especially like ones with food pictures!

I love your take on this week's topic, Susan. Spooky houses, covered wagons, quaint small towns, and warm fall colors also attract me.

Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.

I agree with all of your choices. I'm very fond of classic artwork on book covers, especially of the spooky variety. And, stupidly, a bad cover can almost ruin a book for me because I go to the pick the book up and shudder.

I'm not surprised to see we have a lot of favorites in common! I can never resist most of these - especially the creepy houses and the historical fiction looking away from the camera!

I like the take you brought to this TTT -- I usually read a lot of thrillers and suspense novels, and they are all pretty thematically similar when it comes to their covers. Which is actually somewhat dissappointing.

I love how you did this week's post. I agree with a lot of those, too.

I love your approach to this week's theme, and I completely agree with you on many of these. Quaint towns and spooky houses? Definitely a complete sucker for covers showcasing either of those.
