Yes, today will be another book post!
I recently joined a group on Goodreads called Top 5 Wednesday.
It is a group that started a couple of years ago. The moderator, Lainey, posts a topic each Wednesday that you are then to use for your Top 5 post or video.
It looks like a lot of fun so I am excited to do my first post!
Today's topic is 5 favorite Book Cover Fonts.
This was a little hard for me to decide as there are a lot of book covers that I really like. But I narrowed it down to the books that I own that, in my opinion, have the best font.
They are, in random order:
Harry Potter:
I love how the P in Potter uses the lightning bolt of Harry's scar.
It is instantly recognizable.
The Beautiful Creatures series:
I used the second book in the series for the picture because the first one has the dumb movie cover... but they all use this same font. It is so pretty.
I love how the letters extend so far and almost feel like vines.
This Dark Endeavor:
This series is a prequel re-telling of Frankenstein.
I love the feel of this font. It perfectly fits the dark, slightly gothic feel of the story.
I loved these books the last time I read them. Now that I have actually read the original Frankenstein, I need to go back and read them again to see if I still like them as much!
The Shadow and Bone series:
These books all have a variation of this same font. I think it is beautiful, eye catching (in fact I love this whole cover!), and foreshadows the tone of the book.
The Incarceron series:
This one might be my favorite with all the gears.
I mean, take a closer look.
So cool!
Do you have any books that use a cover font that you love?

Thanks! I love your choices as well!
Oooh, I love those! Beautiful fonts are so cool.
What a fun idea for posts!
Thanks. I really love it when a book cover tells you something about the story inside with the picture and/or font.
It was really fun to look through my books to decide what I wanted to use.
I like the post...good fonts. I really like "Shadow and Bone"s!
Thanks! I am excited to do the weekly challenges!
