Welcome back to this week’s edition of Top Ten Tuesday! It feels like just yesterday that I was sharing my last Top Ten Tuesday post with you all, but here we are again, diving into another exciting topic. This time, I’m thrilled to be posting right on schedule for the day this series is named after—no more late posts from me! The theme for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is one that’s near and dear to my heart: “Books with Your Favorite Color Shown on the Cover.” My favorite color is black, which means this week’s list should be a breeze to compile. Black is such a classic, versatile color, and it seems to pop up on so many book covers, so I’m really excited to share this list with you. These are the books I’ve read this year that proudly feature black on their covers, and I can’t wait to see if any of them resonate with you as much as they did with me!
