June 9, 2026May 1, 2026by wren @ wingsandfables2 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s topic is Books with Handwriting on the Cover. (Or fonts that look like handwriting. Titles, subtitles, covers with letters on them, etc.)

1. Darling Venom by Parker S. Huntington (5 stars)

Note: This is the Dark & Quirky special edition.

2. Regretting You by Colleen Hoover (4 stars)

3. Devious Lies (Cruel Crown #1) by Parker S. Huntington (3 stars)

Note: This is the Belle Box special edition.

4. The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank (5 stars)

5. But I Love Him by Amanda Grace (3 stars)

6. The Name Drop by Susan Lee (TBR)

7. To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before #1) by Jenny Han (5 stars)

8. Problematic Summer Romance (Not in Love #2) by Ali Hazelwood (TBR)

9. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows (TBR)

10. Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone (TBR)

Since there are loads of books out there with fonts that look like handwriting, I challenged myself to find books among my collection that had letters/paper on the cover, too.
