With Fourth of July tomorrow, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books with Red, White, & Blue Covers. This was actually a lot harder to find them I originally thought because there aren’t that many books with all three colors on the cover. But there are a ton of book series and trilogies that had both blue and red books or they use the red, white, and blue color scheme throughout.
The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater
Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Renegades trilogy by Marissa Meyer
Storm Siren trilogy by Mary Weber
Inkworld trilogy by Cornelia Funke
The Books of Mortals by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee
The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins
Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness
I’m sure there are plenty of other series that follow a similar pattern of red and blue books (and for some reason the third book seems to be green for a lot of trilogies), but these are just a few of what I own or have read that do so.

The Raven Boys and Hunger Games made my list as well! I love those covers for Duaghter of Smoke and Bone 😀

Those covers are gorgeous! I think it’s what drew me to the stories in the first place. 🙂

She did! The colors, the design, the font… fantastic. I love that the hardcovers also have the three line symbol engraved under the dust jacket, too!

It’s just the perfect combination! Oh really, that’s so cool-I didn’t know that as we only have the paperback versions in the UK.

Great twist! You’re the first person I’ve seen to focus on covers within series.

I actually never noticed that some series had red and blue covers but now that I think about it a lot do. I’ve only read The Hunger Games out of these series but I have started The Raven Cycle and The Lunar Chronicles but I have yet to finish them.
I hope you have a wonderful week!

I didn’t notice so many books used those colors too, and I’ve already thought of several more series that do since writing this post. It’s kind of crazy! 🙂
Happy reading!

Right? I didn’t either until I started compiling a list and noticed the trend. It’s kind of crazy but also makes sense since blue and red are popular colors. 🙂

This prompt was surprisingly hard. I couldn’t find many books with all 3 colors on the cover. I did discover that I own a lot of blue books. The Hunger Games books are somewhere in my TTT post, too.

Yeah, I was having a hard time finding enough books that incorporated all three colors (unless I started splitting series into individual books like Renegades or the Raven Cycle). That’s why I thought of the series!
🙂 I think I own a lot of blue books too. Not enough green or yellow, though.
