Today’s Topic: Books with [___] On the Cover
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
Hmm, I struggled a bit this week trying to narrow down my cover theme between hats and architectural details. Then it dawned on me, this is my website and I can do both! And in a closer look at the covers I chose, I noticed many with both hats and the architectural elements. When you think about it, hats can have a very structural look, much like good architecture does. I do love a good strong line or a gorgeous arch. Both of which draw my eye but also serve to define the spaces around them.

Thank you. I was surprised by how easy it was to find books for my theme.
Good idea! And I see mostly red hats, a power color. Women in U.S. used to wear hats to church or just when visiting on Sundays or when at a special occasion. Not so much anymore. I only own 2 baseball caps. Lol
What an interesting insight on the red hats! I kind of wish we still wore dressy hats.
Interesting theme. I never really thought about it, but I’m sure you’re right—there are probably lots of similarities between architecture and millinery. Fascinating.
Happy TTT!

I hadn’t considered it either until this week when I was trying to find a way to use them both!
It’s pretty cool that you found some cover with both hats and architecture on them.
It surprised me as well.
I love this! So creative and so many beautiful covers.
Thank you. I love a beautiful (and interesting) cover.
