Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana, over at That Artsy Reader Girl, made a Halloween Freebie today. In the past, I’ve focused on covers featuring Halloween colors, such as orange and black. Today, I am continuing that with purple. You can find all of my colorful cover posts here. So, let’s see what books with purple covers I’ve read.
I may have taken a few liberties with the shades of purple, ranging from a light purple to a deep, dark, almost black purple. I worked to keep one book per author, and if it was part of a series, I ensured it was the first book. Looking for more information about the books listed below? The titles will take you to Goodreads.
Now, let’s look at the books with purple covers I’ve read!
Contemporary
None of This Would Have Happened If Prince Were Alive by Carolyn Prusa
The Flood Girls by Richard Fifield

By the Pricking of My Thumbs by Agatha Christie

Great twist on a theme and some lovely purple covers. Does the first cover refer to Prince the singer/musician? If so purple is very appropriate 🙂
That is the Prince mentioned in the title.

Purple is my favorite color! None of This Would Have Happened If Prince Were Alive is a great title. A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking has me curious.
Haven’t read any of these. A book with a purple cover that comes to mind is Music in the Dark by Sally Magnusson. Actually, her book The Ninth Child also has a purple cover.
I loved Geekerella so much!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
This was such a fun idea! Purple is my favorite color, so you already got my attention. I’ve wanted to read Geekerella for a long time now. A book with a purple cover that I can think of is We Hunt the Flame which I liked a lot 🙂 Thanks for visiting my blog!
Purple is one of my favorite colors! I don’t have many purple books, though. I know because my shelves are organized by color.
As purple is my favourite colour I adore the covers in this post! 😍 I’ve got quite a few of these titles on my TBR as well and I can’t wait to read them!
Purple covers are fun! 💜
Purple is my favorite color!!! I love this one. Geekerella was such a fun read!
Agatha Christie not only fits the color, but I feel like she fits the season SO well too. A reminder (again) that I should read one of hers someday. 😉 Thanks so much for visiting!
I love purple covers! Two on my physical TBR is Drive you Crazy by Jessica Kate and Just the Nicest Person by Christy Barritt. Have a great week!
I don’t think there are enough purple covers!
Purple is one of my favourite colours! I love books with purple covers.
I love purple. These books look so good.

Happy TTT!

So pretty, purple is one of the prettiest colors
I love the color purple, and I’ve heard of a lot of these books. Some are on my TBR, and I could definitely be swayed to pick up a book simply because it is purple.
Defensive baking? Ha! Such fun titles this time of year. Thanks for visiting my blog.
a fun theme and now i have many more books on my tbr!!
My TTT is here
I love the colour idea! They look like good books too.
Have a great week!
These are great covers! (And Geekerella has purple AND orange, so it’s doubly Halloween-y!)
Happy TTT on a Wednesday! Somehow I scheduled my post in advance and then completely forgot yesterday was Tuesday, LOL.
Love a good purple cover and you picked some good ones here. Love Geekerella’s cover.
Love this list! All those covers are so pretty and inviting. I’m most intrigued by None of This Would Have Happened if Prince Were Alive. The title alone makes me want to grab a copy of that book. LOL!
The title was what drew me to the book.

Purple is my favourite, and I have done a couple of posts over the years of books with purple covers but all of these are new to me!
I wondered if that T. Kingfisher book would make your list. Great picks!
I have not read any of these books, and can’t think of any purple covers off the top of my head, although I’m sure I’ve read some because purple is one of my favorite colors, so I would definitely be drawn to purple covers. I hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
I loved A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking but I don’t think I’ve read any of the other books. Purple covers are gorgeous though, it’s one of my favorite colors!

Oh Geekerella. That one was so hyped at the time and I never got around to reading it.
