Top Ten Tuesday -May Flowers

On By Erin @ Cracker Crumb LifeIn Uncategorized

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

This week’s prompt is May Flowers!  Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with flowers on the cover, flower names in the title, characters whose names are flower names, stories involving flowers/gardeners)

I tried so many different variations of this post before deciding simply on flowers on the cover. I tried flower names, flower themed, so many options that I got overwhelmed and made it way more difficult than it needed to be before I decided to do flowers on the cover. I am so much happier with this choice! I have read some of these books, others are books on my TBR, some of them are titles that I just saved on Pinterest because they have such beautiful covers but I don’t actually really want to read them. I am very visual and I love a pretty cover!

Tom Lake || Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries || Truly Wildly Deeply

Tom Lake was simply a beautiful book. I loved that it was set in Michigan, my home state in an area I am very familiar with. I listened to the audiobook read by Meryl Streep and it made it that much better.

Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries is another book I absolutely loved last year. I probably talk about it way too much.

Truly Wildly Deeply is a book I haven’t read yet, but I found it while I was looking for books that had casual inclusion of characters with disabilities. This one especially made my list as the main character has cerebral palsy just like my son.

A Witch of Wild Things || Family Lore || The Tea Dragon Society

I haven’t read A Witch of Wild Things or Family Lore yet but I hope to read both fairly soon. But we all know how that goes! I did read The Tea Dragon Society and I thought it was such a sweet little story. Plus I would really like a tiny pet dragon.

A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping || Flowerheart || The Darling Buds of May

This one isn’t even out yet but I can’t wait. I loved the first in this series and I am super excited about this one. And look, a fox! One of my two favorite animals (the other is a rabbit for those who are new here..) Flowerheart I just read recently and thought it was so lighthearted and whimsical and cozy. And by the time this has posted, I may have finished The Darling Buds of May! It is the book that the show The Larkins is based on and I can’t wait. I loved that show and it’s crazy characters.

How to be a Wildflower

Finally, Katie Daisy’s How to be a Wildflower. This book is so fun. I own it and I love pulling it out in the springtime and leafing through, reading and dreaming and filling it out where I can. I highly recommend it!

And that is it from over here today! Next week we tackle our favorite book quotes!

    1. Me too Marsha! And my rose bush is here! It’s been a ride over here lately and it is currently sitting in a pot of water on my stove of all places. It is doing really well there though lol. I need Billy to get it in the ground for me today. Lol.

  13. This is a great list! I love the covers you chose – I’m also a sucker for a pretty cover with flowers, especially. The Emily Wilde books and Family Lore both have gorgeous covers and great stories inside, and I absolutely love how beautiful the cover of Flowerheart is.
