Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Waterfront Covers with Fall Feels

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.    

Happy Tuesday! Welcome to the last Tuesday of July. Now that we are almost in August, my brain and my desire to decorate are leaning toward fall. Though today's topic is Beach/Beachy reads, I'm going for covers that feature water, but also have a fall vibe. Whether it is the setting, the title, the colors, or the storyline, all of these give fall feels. 

Top Ten Waterfront Covers with Fall Feels

Picture Perfect Autumn by Shelley Noble finds a Manhattan photographer embarking upon a new adventure to a dilapidated Gothic beach house in Rhode Island. 

The Blackbird House by Alice Hoffman takes place on a farm near the outer reaches of Cape Cod. 

Autumn Nights by Debbie Macomber contains two short stories set on the coast. 

Autumn by the Sea by Melissa Tagg features a young woman abandoned as a toddler, who goes to the seaside of Maine to meet a woman who might be her grandmother. 

The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese spans more than seventy years and follows generations of a Christian family in South India that seemed to be plagued by an odd affliction: every generation, one family member drowns. 

The Inn at Ocean's Edge by Colleen Coble is the first Sunset Cove novel. It tells the story of a woman who disappeared at a hotel on her fourth birthday, only to be found a year later at the same hotel and with no memory of being missing. As an adult, her latest visit to the hotel causes disturbing memories to surface. 

The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter by Hazel Gaynor is inspired by real events. Its dual timeline takes place in 1838 Northumberland, England, and 1938 Newport, Rhode Island. The lighthouse on the cover is in England.

The House Between Tides by Sarah Maine is a story of family secrets uncovered with the discovery of the remains of a murder victim on a Scottish estate. 

All Our Beautiful Goodbyes by Julianne Maclean is another dual timeline novel. This one is set at the end of World War II in 1946, and the modern-day story takes place in 1995, when the main character discovers a secret about her grandfather.
