Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week there is a new topic for bloggers to choose and list their top ten. This week on Top Ten is a Halloween freebie! I decided to share 10 books with Pumpkins (both on the cover and in the title). Spoiler: I’ve only read one of these books. I did use Goodreads to help me with this post but it was fun to discover all these new books!

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell
Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice by Katie Cicatelli-Kuc (read)
Death by Pumpkin Spice by Alex Erickson
Pumpkin Blend by Kennedy Layne
Pumpkin Spice Peril by Jenn McKinlay

Pumpkin Spice Sacrifice by Addison Moore
The Pumpkin Room by Mark Milbrath
Pumpkins by Kevin Miller
Pumpkins and Poltergeists by Nyx Halliwell
Pumpkin Pies & Potions by Polly Holmes

Happy TTT! Leave your link down below for me to check out and start chatting 😀

      Thank you! 😀 It was so much fun to do, even if I hadn’t heard of the majority of these books before. Happy Tuesday to you too!

    Lots of creativity in these book covers. The simple one by Kevin Miller also works well.

      I thought some of them were just so fun and creative but I liked the simplicity of the Kevin Miller one!

    I only like the taste of pumpkin if it’s in pie or a pumpkin spice latte that includes pumpkin puree or something, but I love seeing pumpkins on book covers. Ha.

    Thank you for stopping by earlier.

      Haha I didn’t either until I was researching. I was only looking for pumpkins on the cover but then found them with pumpkin in the name too 🙂

      I’m surprised I haven’t read Pumpkinheads before because we had it in the old school library I worked in… Happy Halloween 😀

    I love this list! They look like good reads too. I do like a seasonal read, but I find that Autumn seems to be the hardest to find appropriate covers for. Must just be where I am looking 😂

    Have a great week!

      I’ve only started doing seasonal reads this year and autumn has been fun but I agree, it’s hard to find books for. Im looking forward to Christmas reads 🙂 Thank you, hope you have a great week too!

        I wonder why. There’s definitely a gap in the market 😂 yes! I love a Christmas read.

    Pumpkinheads is on my TTT too! I love it. I also look all these pumpkin covers. Fall is my favorite time of year and I love seeing all the pumpkins around. I haven’t heard of most of these so I’m going to have to check them out.

    I’m surprised more of the covers aren’t orange – I suppose it’s hard to make it spooky in orange!

      Yeah that surprised me as well but you do make a valid point — orange isn’t all that spooky haha!

    You are the first I see who’s covering pumpkins. Unfortunately for me, these are cozy books which is not my cup of tea.

    Love the cover of the Pumpkin Spice Peril by Jenn McKinlay! I’ve read a few of her romance books, but not her cozy mysteries. I’m about to read a cozy fantasy by her. Great TTT!
