Top Ten Tuesday used to be a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This is definitely something I can understand and want to participate in.
This week’s prompt is about book covers with fall colors or vibes. Which is perfect, because the weather has finally started to get cooler, the leaves are starting to change, and it’s really starting to feel like autumn.
- How It All Blew Up by Arvin Ahmadi – the red in the cover makes me think of leaves changing, even though the story takes place in the summer.
- Blazewrath Games by Amparo Ortiz – this is the only book on the list that I haven’t read yet, but it’s being released today and I’ve already got a request in at my library! I’ve heard some awesome things about it already, and I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy!
- Dry by Neal Shusterman and Jarrod Shusterman – the orange-red color of this cover definitely gives me fall vibes, even though this is another book that took place over the summer.
- This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab – the bold red guitar on the cover made me think of fall, even though this isn’t a seasonal book at all.
- There There by Tommy Orange – the orange color of the cover gives me such strong autumn vibes.
- Fable by Adrienne Young – this is another story that isn’t seasonal at all, but the vivid colors on the cover just seem like an autumnal palette to me.
- The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo – this one may not be obvious to everyone, but the hints of oranges and brown always seem like fall to me.
- The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty – this one is a no-brainer, right? The red, orange, and yellow shades are so clearly autumn colors.
- Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owen – I remember reading this one in the fall, and in addition to the orange shade of the cover, this book will always just give me fall vibes.
- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas – I love the bright red shade on the cover, and I always associate reds with fall.
What are some book covers that you can think of that have fall colors or vibes?

I love your explanations for why you included all of these, especially for the bold red covers. I can see exactly the kind of tree you’re trying to evoke and it makes me wish the leaves were turning quicker around here. Love this!

Thank you! I really wish our trees were turning quicker too, since I love when the leaves are all red and orange. Most of ours are still green with a little yellow.

Ohhhh I agree with There There giving fall vibes. That cover, for sure. But also community pow wows make me think of fall because a tribe local to me always holds one that time of year.

We have a nearby tribe that always holds their pow wow at the end of the summer/early fall too! I didn’t even make the connection, but I always used to go as a kid, and it was fascinating to see the dancing!

I loved How It All Blew Up! I don’t think I’ve ever read a Schwab book but I’m hoping to change that this month with Addie LaRue. I also want to read This Savage Song.

The City of Brass cover definitely gives off an Autumn vibe, though the book felt more summery to me but I guess that’s probably because of the desert like landscape!
