Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Book Covers Featuring Cool/Pretty/Unique/etc. Typography
Some of these books I’ve read and loved, some I haven’t read, some I’m not interested in at all, but I thought all of them had really interesting typography on their covers that caught my attention so I added them here. If you’ve read any of them and think they’re worth reading, let me know!
Top Ten Books Covers with Interesting Typography
- Falling into Place by Amy Zhang – I loved this book and rated it 5 stars. I read it twice and thought it was written beautifully about some difficult things.
- Moby Dick by Herman Melville – I just recently read this and enjoyed it even though it was quite long-winded. I listened to this on audio while occasionally refering to my physical copy. Unfortunately, this is not the cover of my copy.
- Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll – This is one of those stories I know and love through so many pop culture references, but I can’t remember if I’ve read the actual book. I love this cover though!
- Find Me by Ashley N. Rostek – This is book 1 of a series and all the covers are beautiful. It’s new adult, reverse harem romance, which isn’t typically what I’m interested in, but it has great reviews so I might try it.
- One Two by Eliane Brum – I’m not interested in reading this book but I love how simple yet creative the cover is, especially because I work with yarn and I love how it looks on the cover.
- Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer – This book intrigues me and I fully intend to read it one day. The cover is beautiful too!
- The Age of Perpetual Light by Josh Weil – I love the cover design! It’s a collection of short stories with a common theme about light. It looks interesting.
- Falls The Shadow by Stefanie Gaither – The premise actually sounds interesting, it’s scifi with clones, but I have no interest in reading it. I do love the cover design and how the letters create a different shadow.
- Dry by Augusten Burroughs – I remember the hype around his other book Running With Scissors and I still want to read it one day. If I like it, I might read this one too.
- To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee – Another popular book that I’m sure most people have heard of. I’ve read it but I don’t currently own a copy. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find this cover if I decide to buy it.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
I remember seeing Amy’s EVERYWHERE when it first released. Never read it though. Josh’s book cover is really cool! The design concept looks so unique. 🙂
Yeah, they’re both so eye-catching!
You found great examples. That Moby Dick cover is fantastic.
Isn’t it?! There were so many good ones but I liked this one the most.
Great covers! So interesting.
Have a great week!

I know right! I love the colors!
I did a whole post on Moby Dick book covers, and I looked and looked for my favorites for this post, but yours is by far the best.
There were so many creative designs for Moby Dick covers! I was surprised and delighted seeing some of them!
That Moby Dick cover is amazing! What a design.
It’s so creative!
I love the font for the Moby Dick cover. So clever.
Yes, it’s so perfect for the story!
Ooh, these are some really cool covers! I especially love the ones for Everything is Illuminated, Falls the Shadow, and Moby Dick! Such clever use of typography.
Yes, they really caught my attention too!
I haven’t seen a cover like that for Moby Dick before, I love modern the take on it.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
I agree, it really is a beautiful cover!
These are awesome examples! My favorite has got to be Moby Dick:-)
It’s a popular one!
The Age of Perpetual Light is simply stunning!! 😍
I think so too!
These are all so cool, but I love Dry. Mainly because it looks like it’s gotten wet and the ink is running!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I know! I thought that was such an interesting choice!
Oh, that is a great cover for Alice in Wonderland! I’ve read the book before, but my cover was much more boring. 😉
It’s so unfair that most of my covers I end up with are boring too! 😂
I love that Moby Dick cover!
Me too!
The only one I have read is To Kill a Mockingbird. I agree, if you are going to own a copy, that is the one to have!
Yes, I think so too!
These are awesome!! I particularly like the Moby Dick font and how it is arranged!
Yeah, it’s so creative! I love it!
So many gorgeous book covers.
It was hard to choose, there are so many!
Ooooo, these are goooooood!!! I love that The Age of Perpetual Light cover, the lightbulb filaments swirling to make the title is actually genius!
Happy Reading!! <3
Right?! Plus the fact that illuminated lightbulbs typically represent genius too!
The MOBY DICK one is really cool. That’s a book I have no interest in reading, but I do like that cover.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Lol, I completely understand! It’s a long and tedious book!
Ohh interesting, I had never seen that edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, it’s so creepy! Falls The Shadow has such a cool and clever typography/design! So many great picks and a few books I’d never heard of! My TTT is here:
