Challenge: Four Seasons in Book Covers

For this challenge, you need to convey the four seasons in book covers – through color, title, cover, etc. You can be literal or take a more creative approach. Anything goes! Just show me four seasons in book covers. (From Kimberly Feye Reads) I decided to share a bunch of pictures for each season because I found too many good ones!

F: Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland

I really enjoyed this one! I think the main character was a bit more immature than I was hoping for, but I definitely liked it overall. I’m super eager to read the next book in the duology though! That ending definitely didn’t give me enough closure at all. I loved the Nantucket setting and I’m SO glad thmy life next doorat I decided to read all of the summery books for this round of Bout of Books.

S: My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Oh my god, Jase Garrett is making me SO HAPPY. Sam is interesting – pretty uptight and one-dimensional as of right now – but I have a feeling that will change. The synopsis for the book hints that there’s some area of drama that happens to her, but I’m about 50% of the way through now and haven’t seen it yet. I’m definitely interested to see what happens next. I really enjoy Fitzpatrick’s writing style, too!

  1. I love all the photos you’ve chosen! They embody the seasons perfectly, and I think it’s great that you did collages for each of them. Also, I’m so pleased that you’re reading all these fun summery reads that I love for Bout of Books! Nantucket Blue is great, but Nantucket Red is my favorite in that duology! I also really enjoyed My Life Next Door, so I’m happy you’re feeling the same way.

  2. Oh, I love your seasoned instagram collections– the Autumn theme especially! It made me feel giddy because I know Autumn is just around the corner, and I cannot wait to snuggle up under blankets to read and drink spiced tea.
