#TopTenTuesday | 9th June 2026: Books with Handwriting on the Cover #Top10Tuesday #bookblogger #bookish #amreading #TTT #BookTwitter #booktwt #BookSky #damppebbles

Hello and a very warm welcome to damppebbles. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. I’ve decided to take part in That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday meme to mix things up a little here at damppebbles. Add a little bit of variety to our bookish weeks.

The meme was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but has lived with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl since January 2018. It was created to encompass a love of books, of lists and to bring readers together. If you would also like to take part then you’re very welcome: the more, the merrier. Just make sure you link back to Jana’s post every week. If you don’t have a blog, then no problem, just add your list to the comments below.

This week’s theme is Books with Handwriting on the Cover (or fonts that look like handwriting. Titles, subtitles, covers with letters on them, etc.). Sounds easy enough, right? It won’t be. I’m going to struggle with this one as a lot of the books I read tend to have the same, fairly plain font. Let’s crack on and see how it goes….


1. The Killer Question by Janice Hallett


2. You’re Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron


3. Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda


4. The New Couple in 5B by Lisa Unger


5. Victorian Psycho by Virginia Feito
A TTT favourite here at damppebbles! Probably the book I have featured the most since I started taking part in Top Ten Tuesday 😂


6. You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego


7. I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones


8. Estella’s Revenge by Barbara Havelocke


9. Deadly Animals by Marie Tierney


10. The Last Word by Taylor Adams


So whilst I was compiling this list I had the strangest sense of Déjà vu. I felt I had written this post before. And it turns out, I have! Well….I sort of have. Back in February, the theme was book covers with interesting typography. Crime fiction isn’t very ambitious when it comes to fonts. It seems a heavy, blocky, plain design wins over and over and over again. There isn’t a huge amount of variety, so I have ended up using many of the same books in the two posts (there are some differences, they’re not completely the same!). I realised too late. I hope you can forgive me for this small oversight because I’m not redoing the post 😂 Have you read any of these books? Planning on reading any? Are you taking part in Top Ten Tuesday this week? Let me know in the comments.

So there we have it! If you fancy joining in next week then head on over to That Artsy Reader Girl’s blog to find out what the next theme is!
