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 Favourite Character Relationships. Rather than delve into book content, I’ve picked ten covers that depict two people in various forms of relationship including enemies, lovers, spouses and comrades.







Gods of Rome by Gordon Doherty & Simon Turney
Ross Poldark and Demelza by Winston Graham
Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris (look closely!)
The Narrow Land by Christine Dwyer Hickey
Think of Me by Frances Liardet
A Thousand Paper Birds by Tor Udall (look closely again!)
According to Queeney by Beryl Bainbridge

But my favourites are three vintage covers:
The Flight of the Heron by D.K. Broster
John MacNab by John Buchan (the stag doesn’t count, right?)
The Greengage Summer by Rumer Godden

What a good idea. I love your vintage covers!

Fun! I love this twist on the topic. I’m not familiar with any of the books, but seeing them has got me thinking of my favorite book covers featuring relationships.
Happy TTT!
