#TopTenTuesday Book Covers Featuring Autumnal Colours #TuesdayBookBlog

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

The rules are simple:

  • Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
  • Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
  • Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
  • Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Book Covers Featuring Autumnal Colours. The colours I associate with autumn are the brown and orange of fallen leaves and ripened fruit. It does help too if the word ‘autumn’ is in a book’s title.

My Week in Books – 11th October 2026

Monday – I published my September Wrap-Up.

Tuesday – This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic was Happy Memories. As someone who – when not reading – loves nothing more than spending time in the garden, my take on the topic was Happy Memories of the Horticultural Kind. I also shared a guest post by Robert Porter, author of historical novel The Winter Raven: The Pirate of Boscastle Bay.

Wednesday – As always #WWWWednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading.

Friday – I shared my review of short story collection Creatures of Circumstance by W. Somerset Maugham, the book chosen for me in the latest Classics Club spin.

Saturday – I joined other gardeners for #SixonSaturday sharing six things from my garden this week.

Not a sausage…

I’m reading May We Feed the King by Rebecca Perry (shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2026), The Wolf’s Oath by Tim Hodkinson from my NetGalley shelf and listening to the audiobook of Three Summers by Karen Swan, my book club’s pick for October.


Nothing much in the way of reviews as I’m on holiday!
