It’s time for the third installment in my rainbow covers series, this time featuring green books.
The last two posts in this series included purple and blue, with green being the color I’m focusing on today.
Green is one of my favorite colors and to my delight, I seem to have quite a few books that have green covers. But that makes picking only a few of them so much more challenging. It is almost like when there aren’t many options to choose from, having too many is just as hard. But enough of that, let me jump right to the topic at hand.
Here is the third post in my rainbow covers series, featuring green books.
Run by Ann Patchett
Another book by popular literary fiction author Ann Patchett, Run isn’t as talked about as her other novels. But it still sounds intriguing to me. It is an important novel that tackles the polarizing worlds of poverty and privilege and how they simultaneously coexist. It also looks at found family, not only the one we are born into, and how it often means more.
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
This is not my favorite genre, but The Testaments and The Handmaid’s Tale are one-of-a-kind classic books to add to your collection. Literary fiction is not for everyone, but if you want to give the genre a try, Atwood is a bona fide choice of author. The Testaments is a dystopian novel that follows the fate of Offred fifteen years after the events that took place in the Handmaid’ tale. If you loved the first book, you’ll appreciate this one as well.
Beyond That, The Sea by Laura Spence-Ash
The only historical fiction novel on this list, Beyond That, the Sea is a beautiful tale of two families that live through the Second World War on opposite sides of the ocean. I’m embarrassed to say that I was so glad to receive my advanced readers’ copy early last year and I still haven’t managed to read it yet. I will though, although I’m not sure when. But you go grab yourself a copy, you’ll enjoy it!
The Unseen by Heather Graham
In this paranormal mystery/suspense novel, Texas ranger Logan Raintree will stand by and watch women get murdered. One of the oldest cases dates back to the 1800s, with the most recent slayings just under a month old. Will he and Kelsey O’brian, his newest team member succeed in catching whoever is behind these vicious killings? I’ve never read a Heather Graham book yet, but this one seems intriguing and right up my alley.
You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen
I recently finished Pekkanen’s latest work, House of Glass, and I remember why I like the author so much. The duo has written a few books together, and this one is next on my list. Although I’ve had it on my shelves for a while, I will try to prioritize it this year. This 2020 thriller is sharp and edgy, with numerous twists and turns. It is an entertaining book that can get anyone out of a reading slump, so consider it next time you’re in the mood for an easy, fast-paced book to get lost into.
The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly by Meredith Tate
The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly
A young adult mystery, The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly appeals to an older audience as well. Of course, it is written with a younger audience in mind, but not exclusively. Although thriller lovers might find the lack of gore less appealing, it is still an intriguing and engaging story. Sisters Ivy and Autumn have been estranged for a while. But when Autumn is beaten and fighting for her life, only Ivy can sense the danger she’s in. It is a beautiful tale of strong sisterly bonds with a touch of supernatural vibes.
Love is a Revolution by Renée Watson
Another book that targets a younger demographic, Love is a Revolution is a coming-of-age tale that is fun and easy-to-read. At its core it is a contemporary fiction with some romance sprinkled throughout.
The book also touches upon themes of self-love and body acceptance. Nola is a young adult who gets her first crush while attending an open mic night for her cousin’s birthday. After meeting Ty, she learns that love is harder to navigate than meets the eye.
Stolen Things by R. H. Herron
A behind the scenes look at police dispatchers, the story contains an engrossing plot along with a few twists and turns. This promises to be a great book! What can I say, it seems like a thriller that is right up my alley.
Although the book starts off with a bang, some people complain that the pace is not kept throughout the entirety of the story. Despite all that, it is still intriguing, therefore a must-read for me! Review to follow once I finally get to read it!
Watch Her Disappear by Eva Dolan
So, when I bought this book at my local library’s sale, I never thought to read the synopsis. Hence, I didn’t realize this was part of a series! It is actually book #4 in the DI Zigic and DS Ferreira series.Thats okay though, because it seems like a series I would enjoy. Plus, I keep hearing good things about this author, so it’s a win-win. And why not prioritize some back titles while I’m at it! Also, with Pride Day that literally just passed, this is the perfect title to pick up.
All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers
Yes, I know this book got some backlash about having an unoriginal story, but let’s be honest. A lot of mystery/thrillers are similar these days. I mean, how many more detective novels involving a suspended police officer gone rogue can one read?
All Good People Here has some strong Crime Junkie vibes, inspired by the author’s super popular podcast she created and hosts. This work of fiction is about a journalist who becomes obsessed with her next-door neighbor’s murder that went unsolved for twenty years. At the same time, a young girl’s disappearance shakes her hometown once again. I’m still going to read this book, even if some reviewers gave it some harsh criticisms.
Concluding Words
This sums up my third installment in the rainbow covers series, featuring green books. I hope you enjoyed it. Next up in the Rainbow Covers Series is yellow!
In the meantime, tell me of any great green cover books you’ve read lately. And I will catch you next time, fellow bookworms!
