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 first Tuesday in February! The groundhog saw his shadow yesterday, so it looks like we are in for six more weeks of winter. Does that make you happy or grumpy? While I am ready for spring, we can get snow into April, so I'm okay with whatever happens.
Today's Top Ten Tuesday is asking us to share book covers featuring special typography. Let's see what I dig up for that. After 19 years, I'm sure to find a few.

Typography
The metallic, beveled script has a neat forged look.
The curves and color palette for the author's name are an elegant typography that echoes the flow of the woman's gown.
The clean, modern typography is specifically placed over a band across the woman's eyes, creating an emotional impact.
The bold curves and strokes contrast nicely against the simpler font for the author's name, providing a warm feel despite the title showing that tragedy is about to strike.
This reimagined take on a classic features decorative and playful typeface, giving it an energetic and contemporary feel.
This book features smooth curves and generous spacing. It's almost like they are writing a letter to someone.
Though the brush lettering is youthful and energetic, the white text almost seems like chalk lines, giving the book a mysterious flair.
The contrast of the rigid letters for the author's name against the script typeface for the title ramps up the drama.
Strong, classic, and with wide spacing, this typeface speaks to the authority of the author and the book's contents.
Clean and crisp typography, just like a winter's day.

Tell Me Something Tuesday (TMST) is hosted by Jen Twimom at That's What I'm Talking About. TMST is a weekly discussion post where bloggers discuss a wide range of topics from books and blogging to life in general. Participation is optional, and you can leave your comments in the weekly post when you participate. Check it out if you're interested in joining.
This week's topic asks us to invent a holiday and explain what we would celebrate. I admit that I needed AI to help me flesh out this idea more fully. My holiday is...
Turning Home Day: A Homecoming to Self
Celebrated annually in the fall, this is the time when a woman who has spent decades caring for everyone else turns inward and gets back into balance. This is about being present for herself. She wakes without rushing. She releases what no longer belongs, and she reclaims what she seeks. Then she takes a walk with no destination. She has a simple meal and intentionally retires early.
It is a day when she doesn't need to...
- Impress anyone,
- Post about what she's doing, or
- Explain herself.
This holiday should adapt with her, as she grows and changes.
Turning Home is not a retreat from love, but the moment love remembers where it began.
