and does that influence you to read a book? do you gravitate towards your favorites, or do other colors compel you more?

personally, my favorite colors are green (sage, but really any muted, earthy green) and deep purples. i did buy the pretty green edition of Legends & Lattes over the standard cover because the color is gorgeous. i feel like i don't see much purple around—maybe i'm just not looking hard enough?

but it's red and black covers that really catch my eye. separate or together, but mostly together; it's one of the most striking color combinations to me. my favorite example is Clown in a Cornfield (i promise this post isn't just another way for me to promote Clown in a Cornfield). maybe it's just because i read a lot of horror, but i feel like it's hard to make a red and black cover look bad. is that just me? does anyone else have any great combos?

bonus question: would you buy a physical edition of a book you really didn't like if the color would look good with the aesthetic of your room/living space?

Have a recommendation for this quest?? I wanna hear them all!! But please read this first!

As I mentioned in the Welcome & Introductions post - I'm keeping the specific criteria for this quest close to my chest until other similar quests drop and I don't want to potentially ruin the surprise! However, I will say this quest is multi-genre, so don't worry about trying to stay in a specific niche. If it feels like a fever dream (surreal, absurd, dreamlike), I would to know about it so I can consider it! Please be patient with me as I make my way through the recommendations!

You can suggest as many books as you like, but please submit one book per comment so other Boundlings can upvote the books they'd love to see on this quest tooo! Your comment should include the book title, author, and a link (or just the url) to the book's page on Pagebound so I know exactly which book to check out!
