Happy Tuesday! Today’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday was a fun one for me – upcoming books that have my attention from the cover or title. Confession: I couldn’t decide between featuring covers or titles so I’m doing both haha. What tends to grab your attention more – covers or titles? For me, I think it’s a pretty even match, though perhaps covers just slightly edge out titles for most books I’ve randomly bought or marked ‘to read’ based solely on that information.

haha well, it IS Tuesday 😉
I love the titles that you listed, and some of those covers are just so gorgeous! Great list this week.
thanks, Leah!
All the lovely covers! I must say, I do tend to be drawn to pretty covers
definitely! me too 🙂
I definitely have The Mistletoe Countess on my wish list!
it is SO GOOD – i read it as she wrote it and it’s my #1 fave of her books ever.
Lovely covers and titles! One of my favorite covers is Esther Hatch’s A Proper Scoundrel, for obvious reasons! Cue the fans and fainting couch!
Thanks for the fun post, my dear BFFFC!!
i looooove that cover too! 😀
Definitely Mistletoe Countess, which I have read and LOVED!
A Midnight Dance looks so Pretty!
Sarah Sundin and Paris? YES!
Out today is Amanda Dykes: Yours is the Night. The cover is Soooo pretty!
that really is a gorgeous cover too!
The cover of All That Is Secret by Patricia Raybon is very intriguing… I’ll have to check out the book!
Here’s my list this week.
i know!! I can’t wait to read it!
All those covers are pretty, but that Midnight Dance one calls to me! I also love the title for Husband Auditions. So fun!
Due to eyesight being limited till continued testing completed, I only manage to read your blog comments & make list of books to read when able. I love your blog & find it very informative. Thank you.
Cover’s catch my attention the most. I am looking forward to Once Upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan. Thank you for the opportunity. God bless you.
I want to read The Mistletoe Countess because of the author who wrote it, Pepper Basham, and also because you liked it so well, too!
I almost added Once Upon a Wardrobe to my list. Great covers.
Great list, several of these are on my list to be read as well. I will be reading Husband Auditions this month.
What a great list of books. All of those covers are stunning!
Tacos for Two is a great title with a great cover!
When you get the chance, I hope you come over and check out my post: http://readbakecreate.com/15-book-covers-that-scream-summer/
Patti Callahan’s book is on my Want to Read list. It is a great cover and title!
Right?!!
The cover of a book is the first thing that catches my eye. If I don’t like the cover at all most of the time I won’t pick it up. Now I buy my favorite authors regardless but it’s funny that I always think their covers are beautiful.
Patti Callahan’s is so pretty.
Good choices, as always.
aww thanks!
The Mistletoe Countess is at the top of my list, and I love Lindsay Harrel’s Port Willis novellas so much!
isn’t it great!?
Those Christmas covers cry read me.
right?!?
I’m changing my selection to only MezCarrie’s comments, being I don’t have time for others’ comments.
Joanna Davidson Politano is ALWAYS a favorite! I got to early read The Mistletoe Countess and it is swoooooony! Lindsay Harrel is always a good Christmas choice. Patti Callahan’s really gets my attention but I don’t think I’ve ever read one of her novels. Covers always grab my attention, so I love the novella collection, too. Oh good grief, just add them all to my list! Why not?
LOL a girl after my own heart haha
A Midnight Dance and All That is Secret look like books that I would love to read! Thanks for featuring them!
yay! You’re welcome 🙂
I reordered Once Upon a Wardrobe in hardcover !! For me that’s amazing since I mainly stick to ebooks nowadays…(so hubby doesn’t have to find a place for it😬 but…I love the cover and love her poetic writing.
I have been watching Joanna Politano’s releases for a long time and the book blurb sounds great!
I ave watched some live events that Heather B Moore has had about The Slow March to Light. I lived in Germany in the late 60s so I really want to read it!
I have an ARC of Pepper Basham’s Mistletoe Countess. She is a must read always and forever! It will be my first Christmas read for sure!! I just can’t get into the mood when it is 105 outside!
I love book covers, so they do influence me, then the author, then the storyline. We have so many wonderful CF authors!!
I want to read every single one of those TTT books! The covers are so compelling!
Those covers, especially the holiday ones, are just so pretty. I felt myself smiling as I was scrolling through them. The title Husband Auditions also immediately piqued my curiosity.
aww yay! I’m glad the post made you smile 🙂
I can’t believe how many Christmas books are coming out in six weeks.
it makes me so happy! 😀 I love Christmas books haha
Pretty sure it’s always the cover that first catches my eye. Although Melissa’s upcoming “Meet me in the Margins” IS pretty cuuute! 🙂 Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland last week, Carrie.
thanks, dear Rissi! 🙂
Once Upon a Wardrobe is spectacular!
Love all the covers and the one that caught my eye was No ordinary Christmas!
I think In Search of a Prince is a gorgeous cover, and I also love The Mistletoe Countess and Once Upon a Wardrobe. Covers do have a big influence, but favorite authors certainly get my attention first. Thaks for all of the great book suggestions but do you gave suggestions for increasing my reading time, for me to find the time to read them all?!?!
LOL read every time you’re not doing something else that requires your undivided attention – in line at the grocery store, at stoplights, etc. lol
Such fantastic covers!!! They’re really putting me in the mood for fall/winter & Christmas music. Ooo-la-la!!! 😍🥰🎶📚🍁❄
I loved the covers that caught your eye, especially the book by Toni Shiloh. Beautiful!
isn’t it gorgeous?!?
