Top Ten Tuesday: Rubber Duckie Book Covers

Three rubber duckies sitting on the edge of a white bathtubI don’t know about all of you, but I’m sure in the mood for lighthearted and dare I say slightly silly conversations at the moment.

For example, did you know there are dozens of books out there that feature rubber duckies on their covers?

I have no idea how or why this ever became a trend, but it does make me smile.

Have you read any of these books? Do you have a rubber duckie sitting on the edge of your bathtub at this exact moment?

    Love it to bits.

    • Yay for maroon duckies! I’m so glad you enjoyed this post. I was poking around on Goodreads and wondered how many other books with rubber duckies I could find on covers. The rest is history. 🙂

  9. Love this list idea! I doubt I have as many rubber duckies present on my TBR, but it gives me ideas for future freebies, and for that I am grateful!
