I have an obsession with book covers because they can be so captivating, and yes I do sometimes judge books based on the cover. It’s okay, you can admit it too. My hope for this series is so you can not only see the gorgeous art of these book covers, but to help add more books to your TBR collection.
I have already shared the full rainbow, so now I’m going to move into an assortment of themes. Each week will be a new theme so it’s a surprise! I hope you find something new to add to your TBR stack.

My favorite is my feature of dogs! Make sure to check it out.
Water
Venturing into the depths or at peace riding the waves… Water can represent life or quite the opposite—chaos.
