I know that you’re not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes it happens. And sometimes you just have to buy that book because it’s pretty. No regrets.
Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme that the lovely Bionic Bookworm does. If you are interested in doing any of her topics on your blog she welcomes it! Don’t forget to check out her upcoming topics if you’re interested in participating in future Top 5’s! Be sure to check out her post here!
Cover Buys:
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
I always loved this cover before I knew what the book was about and needed it on my shelf.
The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
Both the hardcover and paperback versions of this book are so gorgeous.
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
Guys, there’s an entire world in the bottle and the other cover is basically the prettiest terrarium I’ve ever seen.
Everless by Sara Holland
I haven’t read this yet, although I have it from my library.. I just can’t help but pick it up and stare at the gorgeous cover. I just want to own it.
And my fifth pick is basically every Barnes and Noble leatherbound book. I love them so much that I feel as though I need every one, whether I am interested in the book or not. (Although I usually also want the book.)
What books have you purchased because you fell in love with the cover? Have you read any of the ones on my list and are also completely in love? Let me know in the comments!
Kyera's Library 
Oh Passenger! It almost made my list as well. It’s probably in my top 5 favourite covers ever! Theres something about the colours and how soft it all looks that just makes my bookish heart melt!
Thanks so much for participating – added you to the list 🙂

Yeah, I knew I wanted to own it long before I knew what the book was about.

I actually got it from my library so I’m going to read it before I succumb to purchasing it. Just in case I don’t like it.

Rebel of the Sands made my list too. It’s just so gorgeous but I have no idea what it’s about haha. I guess why they are called cover buys!

I’m so glad I bought Rebel before they changed the cover art! I feel like the original version is so eye-catching and it’s completely beyond me WHY they felt the need to change it.
I LOVE this topic by the way. I did TTT this week (http://nerdnarrationblog.wordpress.com/2018/02/06/top-ten-tuesday-newest-book-purchases/) and had I know the topic in advance might have jumped sides for the week 😉

Oh yeah, I didn’t realize there was a cover change. I’ve just always loved the original.

I love the Barnes and Noble ones! I have a handful of those too. It is so tempting to buy a couple every time I am there!

Oh I agree! They just put them on sale often enough for $10, that it is the only price I allow myself to buy new ones for. Otherwise I would totally be more tempted every trip.

Oh gosh haha. I’m jealous of the UK edition of Caraval! And Strange the Dreamer come to think of it. Sometimes you guys have better covers and sometimes we have better covers. But if you ever get a chance to look at the US version of Everless it’s so detailed.

Those B&N editions are so beautiful. I stood in the store the last time I was there and I couldn’t help but stare at them. There are so many editions I want 😀
