Top Ten Tuesday #46: Mardi Gras Theme

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic:

Purple, Yellow, and/or Green Book Covers
(in honor of Mardis Gras, which is today!)

I’ve always wanted to attend Mardi Gras and, if not for corona, I’d most likely have been there this year. But instead, I’ll celebrate it on my blog by doing this TTT meme. Below is a selection of read and unread books that fit the theme. If I reviewed the book, I’ll link to the review.

(NOTE: If the layout below looks wonky, it’s most likely because you’re viewing this on your phone in the WordPress Reader app which, for some reason unknown to me, keeps messing up the layout when I use certain gallery settings to format image layouts. If you view it on the website instead, it will show correctly.)

    1. Thanks! New Orleans is one of the top places I’d like to visit. I’m very interested in the architecture there. Infinite Spiral is also a webcomic. I have a link to it in my review, if it’s still up

  2. Nice mix! Never been to Mardi Gras. From this group I’ve only read Watchmen, which I enjoyed a little more on my second reading. And I think I watched the Stardust movie.
