Book Covers with People on the Cover | TTT | Top Ten Tuesday | 7/8/25

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Please check out her website for more TTT topics!

This week’s topic is:

Book Covers with People on the Cover

I was actually choosing covers that had a cartoon like artistic style to it and then also noticed all of them have people on the cover so that’s what I went with since I don’t want to do too much thinking for this topic today! Do you like this type of cover style? Sometimes it can be good, but sometimes it looks too cartoony.

  1. I think you’ve jumped ahead a bit on the TTT topics, but no matter! I know a lot of people aren’t huge fans of the cartoony style that’s super popular on romance books these days but I love it. ONLY if the people have actual faces though — I hate the no faces trend SO much. Give me the cute cartoons!!

  2. I love all of these covers—they’re so fun and cute! I especially love the ones for Quach and Boyce. Sometimes I do get kind of tired seeing these same styles but I still love how cute they can be!
