Green Book Covers

Green is one of my favorite colors. Books are one of my favorite objects. Of course I'm drawn to green book covers! (Yes, I judge books by their covers.) Here are a few of my favorite green (and green adjacent) book covers.




Green (+ Green Adjacent) Book Covers





book cover of Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. The cover is an illustration of a young girl with red hair and a red dress. She is surrounded by trees and pink flowers.

    Several of those books look interesting! I remember when "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" came out and for the longest time I didn't want to read it because they had different colored covers and I thought that was tacky. It's one book I've read three times!

    Hart & Mercy was such a great book! I need to get to the rest of the series, but you know, since I bought the books, I may never read them.

    Beautiful. Green is my favourite colour, therefore, I always love those covers. However, I didn't make a list myself this time since I already did that subject several time.

    I totally judge books by their covers too! Tress of the Emerald Sea is a fantastic book with a green cover!
