Books I Love With People On The Cover

Books I Love With People On The Cover

April 26, 2022 Posted by angelreads Top Ten Tuesday 6 Comments

This week I’m sharing the books I’ve loved with people on the cover Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

Images of people of covers are very debated in the community. And while I don’t hate people on covers as some people do, I don’t always love them. So today I thought I would share some of my favourite books that have a person on the cover. I get why people don’t always like these covers, but sometimes they are just fantastic.  

There is a range of different books that have made my list from young adult to romances. And as always these are in no order. Let’s Go!

Lilacs and Leather (Pack Saint Clair #1) by Thora Woods | Lola & the Millionaires: Part One (Sweet Omegaverse #2). by Kathryn Moon | Brutal Prince (Brutal Birthright #1) by Sophie Lark. | Pestilence (The Four Horsemen #1) by Laura Thalassa.

Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh | Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead. | Hate (Madison Kate #1) by Tate James | Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry.

The Winner’s Curse (The Winner’s Trilogy #1) by Marie Rutkoski |Every Breath (Every #1) by Ellie Marney.
 

And there we go. Those are the books that I love with people on the cover. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What are some of your favourite books with people on the cover? So, let’s Chat!

    Very clever. I considered flowers or a spring theme but then opted for weirdly awful classic covers My TTT is here. Please visit and comment. Thanks.

    Great list. But I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of real people on the cover because they rarely fit the description of the character(s) on the book and that’s all I keep picturing in my head when I read the book…

    Good idea and good covers here. I especially like the one for Pestilence. I haven’t read any of your books so they interest me.

    Great choice! I have to admit that Lark’s cover *always* catches my eye when I see it. It reminds me I want to try her books and this series 😂

    I LOVE book covers with people on them! And the ones you chose are so good! That Winner’s Curse one always catches my attention. And I loved Pushing the Limits.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?

January was a really solid reading month. I read s January was a really solid reading month. I read some books that had been on my tbr for some time, reread a few things that peaked my interest. I also started a few new series. And just had a good time!
