I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!Today’s theme is “May Flowers,” and in honor of Wyrd & Wonder, I’ve found ten (mostly) fantasy books with flowers on the cover. This is one of my favorite cover trends, and I think it’s hard for anyone to resist a cover with colorful blooms.
