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: Love Freebie
I started to look for books with red covers, but then decided to showcase books I've read and enjoyed that had covers with hearts, and titles that had either heart or love in them. I've read ALL of these and selected them from my favorites list on Goodreads. Most of them are older books that I highly recommend and plan on rereading in the future.

A lot of these are from many, many years ago. 😅 I'm showing my age, lol.
DeleteI love seeing hearts on book covers!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Some of them are really creative with how they're incorporated.
DeleteI've read a few of those! Interesting how they all have heart covers yet look SO different.
ReplyDeleteRight!? Forbidden was a tough one but I'm glad I read it.
DeleteAww heart books. Dunno if i have any heart books now when I think of it
ReplyDeleteZero?? 😲
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but I feel like I should read a Helen Hoang book to see what all the hype is about.
ReplyDeletePam @ Read! Bake! Create!

I thought The Kiss Quotient was wonderfully written! I haven't read anything else by the author, but I own The Bride Test and hope I'm able to get to it soon. :)
DeleteOOh nice topic choice! And picks! Pretty much all new to me ones here except for Heartless! I read and LOOOOVED that one!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Heartless DESTROYED me. 😭
DeleteWow! I read ten of these (from back in my YA days). The Deb Caletti book is one that I feel is really underrated. It's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI don't read a lot of YA these days either, but I have fond memories of the ones on this list! And I wholeheartedly agree that A Heart in a Body in the World is vastly underrated.
DeleteFun list of books! I like the covers with the hearts especially. And I enjoyed reading The Kiss Quotient. :D
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it as well! I still need to read The Bride Test.
DeleteI love seeing hearts on the cover of books, so fun. And, it was/is a great topic for this month.
ReplyDeleteI agree! It was a fun one to put together. :)
DeleteI loved The Anatomical Shape of a Heart and The Kiss Quotient, too. I've heard about Forbidden and I don't know that I could read it, but I have a book friend that loved it.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I still need to read The Bride Test and I typically enjoy Jenn Bennett's books. Forbidden is a really, really good book, but it was incredibly hard to read.
DeleteAh, I love seeing all those heart covers together! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt makes me want to reread a few! 😅
DeleteI love Marissa Meyer's Heartless so much!! I don't reread books often, but Heartless is one I have reread and will probably read again!
ReplyDeleteThat book was such an emotional roller coaster! I really wish we'd gotten another book from his perspective.
DeleteI LOVED 'The Girl Least Likely"!
ReplyDeleteI feel like it's not talked about very much, but I really enjoyed it!
DeleteLove and Luck is on my TBR!

Her books always make me smile! I hope you enjoy the story when you get to it. :)
DeleteI haven't read any of these but some of those covers are great.
ReplyDeleteMost of these are from when I read a lot of YA.
DeleteGreat list, Lindsi! I hope you're having an awesome week!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just need my kids to get over this ick.
DeleteNice idea for a list! I haven't read any of these but they look good. The premise for All Our Broken Pieces caught my eye especially. Happy Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, loved All Our Broken Pieces! Definitely try it whenever you have time. :)
DeleteI read Twenty Boy Summer years ago. The other books I haven't read but they look good.
ReplyDeleteSame. Most of these I read like 5-10 years ago. 😅
DeleteThis is a great list, Lindsi. I haven't had a chance to read any of these although a few are on my wish list. The Kiss Quotient in particular. Thank you for these recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really enjoyed The Kiss Quotient. I want to read it again, but there are so many books. 😅
DeleteThey all look great! The sneaky heart in Wonderlove is fun.
ReplyDeleteI like unique covers that make you pause and look at them.
DeleteI love the covers with hearts!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize I'd read so many, lol. I love how the post came together.
