Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Rain/Umbrellas on the Covers

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

The topic this week is April Showers (Interpret this however you’d like: rainy day reads, books that make you cry, books that give you happy tears, books to wash away a bad reading experience, books set in rainy places, books with rain/raindrops/umbrellas on the cover, blue book covers, etc.)

These books all have rain/and or an umbrella on the covers:

  1. The Right Attitude to Rain by Alexander McCall Smith
  2. The Silence Between Breaths by Cath Staincliffe
  3. The Children Act by Ian McEwan
  4. I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh
  5. To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
  6. The Weather in the Streets by Rosamund Lehrmann
  7. Persuasion by Jane Austen
  8. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
  9. The Killing Kind by Jane Casey
  10. The Rain Before it Falls by Jonathan Coe

    1. I hadn’t seen this cover before either but I found this cover on Goodreads. It’s not the cover on my copy, which is an old hardback book that had belonged to my mother.

  1. What a clever idea, Margaret! And Marina and Shellyrae are right: I hadn’t seen those covers for Persuasion or To the Lighthouse. Happy to see Alexander McCall Smith here; I’ve not read him just lately and I always enjoy his books. And Cath Staincliffe writes a very good story, I think.

  2. Nice list! I’ve read several of these, though probably not with those covers. I Let You Go and Persuasion and also The Killing Kind.

  3. Nice twist to the topic. I’d done something like that before (rain, not umbrellas), so I gave it a miss. Maybe next time this comes up.I have read To the Lighthouse, Bell Jar and Persuasion (my favourite book by one of my favourite authors) but my book doesn’t have an umbrella on there.
