Me Talk Pretty Today is really cool!
I thought so, too. 🙂
Have a good week. Here is my TTT. https://dmhoisington.wordpress.com/2026/06/09/top-ten-tuesday-32-books-with-handwriting-on-the-cover/
Thank you.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society intrigues me to no end. The title is really unusual, and I love how they used the handwriting on there. Thanks for sharing these!

You’re welcome. I’m curious about it, too.
Oh you picked some beautiful covers!!
Thank you! 🙂
Me Talk Pretty was such a fun novel. I’m glad I found Sedaris so many years ago on This American Life, talking about his adventures in Paris…
Yes, it sure was! I haven’t read much of his recent stuff yet, but I will sometime.
Great selection! I absolutely love Wally Lamb, and She’s Come Undone was so good.
Thank you, and totally agreed there.
I have terrible handwriting! But like you, I love to see all the pretty handwriting others have, and it’s always fun to look at books that use that as part of the design, too. 🙂 Thanks for visiting my list today!
I would have assumed you had beautiful handwriting, ha. And you’re welcome.
We have four of the same books on our list! Great minds! 😂
Yay! That’s awesome.
Good list! I LOVE the cover on Island Queen! I can’t believe I forgot Guernesey!
Thank you. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Lots of good picks here! I do love When Dimple Met Rishi because it’s like a coffee cup written on at a cafe.
Thank you. I love that so much.
I used to be quite proud of my handwriting but I do it so infrequently these days it’s not great.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
I think that’s happened to a lot of people, and you’re welcome.
These are great covers. Despite being a left handed person, my writing is quite neat. I do wish that I could do calligraphy though. I tried it a couple of times. It was ok but nothing amazing!
Have a great week!
That’s awesome, Emily. Yes, calligraphy is incredible.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is such an iconic cover
Totally agreed there. 🙂
We have To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before in common this week 🙂 When Dimple Met Rishi is also such a great one!
Thank you, and how cool.
These all look good. The first one has been on my TBR forever.
May you enjoy it!
Great choices! David Sedaris is a hoot. I haven’t read this book though.
He sure is!
The cover for Island Queen is striking!
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
You’re quite welcome!
That Island Queen cover is really beautiful. I have never heard of that one before.
It’s gorgeous for sure. 🙂
Oh I even own that Wally Lamb book and did not think of it when writing my post, lol. I’ve read When Dimple Met Rishi and Memoirs of a Geisha but that one was so long ago I don’t remember anything of it.
It bothers me when that happens. I wish we could remember every book clearly!
The Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Society is such a great choice. I’ve seen it a few times today. All very eye catching covers.
It’s such a great cover!
And thank you.
A lot of the Sedaris books would fit! Great list.
For sure, and thanks.
Great list! Love that font on Honey Girl. The whole book cover is very pretty. 😊 Happy Wednesday!
Thank you. Yes, it’s gorgeous.
That Flowers for Algernon cover is so perfect… and makes me sad.
Honestly, same here.
Great choices — and I’ve actually read most of these! Flowers for Algernon made such a big impact on me when I read it back in my school days. I’d be afraid to pick it up now — I’d guess that it’s pretty dated.
So cool. I have no idea how well it has aged, though.
I won the National Handwriting Award in sixth grade, so I always use every opportunity to handwrite!
That’s awesome, Deb!
I really liked The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society novel. 🙂
Glad to hear it. 🙂
