Purple is my favourite colour. Specifically, I prefer the darker and richer shades of this colour, although light purple can be pretty as well.
I originally tried to whittle down this list to books I’ve read that have purple covers, but there weren’t enough of them to continue down that path.
Therefore, I’m including books I have not read yet as well.
If you’ve read any of them, I’d love to hear your thoughts on them!
1. King Lear by William Shakespeare
2. Swoon (Swoon, #1) by Nina Malkin
3. Dead to the World (Sookie Stackhouse, #4) by Charlaine Harris
4. Caribbean Cruising by Rachel Hawthorne
5. The Alchymist’s Cat (The Deptford Histories, #1) by Robin Jarvis
6.Rejected Princesses: Tales of History’s Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics by Jason Porath
7. I See/You Mean by Lucy R. Lippard
8. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
9. Loveless by Alice Oseman
10. The Amateurs (The Amateurs, #1) by Sara Shepard
Great list this week, Lydia! I’ve read a few of the books on your list – The Bluest Eye is outstanding (I’d expect nothing less from Toni Morrison) and Dead to the World (but that was a long time ago), but I remember that I really liked the series.
All the others are new to me, but I can’t resist a good purple book cover since it’s my favorite color too!
It’s awesome that we both love the same colour!
And, yeah, the Dead series was interesting.
Oh, hey fellow purple lover! 💜 It’s my fave too and I love all the ones you’ve chosen. I’ve got Loveless on my shelf but that cover for The Amateurs and The Bluest Eye are beautiful too. Great picks!
Thank you. 🙂
These are all beautiful! I can’t quite choose a Favorite Color, but purple is in the top five.
It’s so pretty. 🙂
Purple is a popular color this week! I’ve seen a few feature it as their favorites. It does have that regal look that makes a cover stand out. 🙂 Once upon a time I feel like I read about Sara’s novel, but never added a copy to my shelf, though I know she was (still is?) a super popular author! Thanks so much for visiting my website today.
Yes, I was surprised by that. But it’s wonderful.
And you’re welcome.
Nice! Vivid!
Thank you. 🙂
I’ve read several by Alice Oseman but have not picked up Loveless yet.
It’s pretty good. Hope you like it if or when you do read it.
I have Rejected Princesses on my wishlist since forever, i remember following the author on FB a few years ago and he posted about amazing and underrated women
I hope you love that one!
I used purple covers this week too (https://bookwyrmknits.com/2024/07/02/top-ten-tuesday-books-with-my-favorite-color-on-the-cover/) but I don’t think we duplicated any books! There’s so many great covers out there. 🙂
I haven’t read it yet, but Rejected Princesses is also on my TBR. It looks really fun! I should read it soon.
Yay for using the same colour and not duplicating any books. That’s pretty cool.
Hope you like Rejected Princesses.
I loved Loveless and it’s such a pretty cover too!
Agreed. 😀
The Rejected Princesses series is such fun! I have that one and the ‘mothers’ spin-off.
Oh, fun!
There is something really eye-catching when it comes to darker purple book covers. I haven’t read any of these, but I hope you do if you pick them up.
Thank you. I have read some of them already.
Gorgeous picks! I love purple. Happy Tuesday!
Thank you.
Loving the purple 💜
Thanks. 🙂
Purple is a popular color this week. Love your list. King Lear is on my list of classics to read. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, it’s been very popular. Hope you like King Lear.
Nice purple covers! I’ve read the first in the Charlaine Harris series.
Thank you. I hope you liked that one.
What pretty shades of purple
🙂
I’m planning to read Loveless this month, and I’m very intrigued by Rejected Princesses as well! What a gorgeous list!
Awesome. Hope you like them.
Love your purple choices, purple is always a colour that stands out so well.
Dead to the World is my favourite in that series.
Yeah, that book was a good one. And thanks. 🙂
Purple <3 I have not read Loveless, but really want to!
I hope you like it!
I haven’t read any of these books, but Loveless is on my TBR list. These are some nice covers.
Thank you. Hope you like Loveless.
yay for purple! It’s mine too 🙂 My TTT
Woohoo!
Purple has been a popular pick today! It’s not one of my personal favorites, but it definitely catches my eye when I see it used on book covers. You picked some great examples.
Happy TTT!

Thank you, Susan. Your comment got caught in my spam filter, so I didn’t see it until after I’d commented on your post. 🙂
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my post (https://momobookblog.blogspot.com/2024/07/top-ten-tuesday-least-favourite-colours.html), even though I posted my least favourite one.
Your list looks lovely. I quite like the selection of purple books. I haven’t read any of them but got “The Bluest Eye” recently, so will hopefully get to it soon.
You’re welcome. I think you’d like The Bluest Eye.
Beautiful! The King Lear cover is really striking — simple and vibrant.
Thank you and agreed. 🙂
ahhh I remember when The Amateurs first came out and everyone was obsessed because the PLL hype was still going. That being said, I just realized I never actually read this series 😂
In any case, happy TTT!
These are pretty covers. I don’t read many books with purple covers.
Have a great week!
