Books That My Mind Pairs Together For Some Vague Reason (reason is literally just because of covers & release dates)

Do you ever pair books together because of some strange, strange unknown reason?

(let’s ignore that the strange reason they’re connected is because of covers, release dates, or titles)

If you said yes to this, then me too!

Wow.

I’m so glad I’m providing relatable content that people can relate to.

Anyways, I’m going to list some novels that I paired together just because of their titles or  their covers or maybe because they were both really hyped??

The Hazel Wood & The Cruel Prince

 

These aren’t even that related to each other but these were like, the top two most hyped books of winter/spring 2018 and I just… associated them with each other, automatically, for some reason?

(I think that these were really searched for on booksfortrade, which I used to use a lot!)

Also, both have woody/tree stuff on them. so.

Eliza and Her Monsters & When Dimple Met Rishi

 

Both of these were some of the books that I was literally so excited for (Eliza and Her Monsters had one of my actual favorite tropes, which was the whole fake-identity-online-talking trope) and then When Dimple Met Rishi sounded so so cute!!

They both were being published on the same day soo yeah. I associate them with each other. I don’t know, man.

The Storm Crow & Crown of Feathers

 

They both have birds.

Echo North & Beware the Night

 

Echo North and Beware the Night both have fairy tales in them. I think. Also, both of the covers are gorgeous and lowkey remind me of each other?? Kind of??

Air Awakens & Alchemists of Loom

   

Okay, maybe all of my other points were really strange, but seriously. Don’t these all look like they belong together?? Like??? I don’t know what it is, but these just look like they are the same cover, when I know that they aren’t.

I just figured out what it is. I think it’s because they all have these white cloak/hood things on. I feel validated.

Again, But Better & What if It’s Us

 

I’m putting this here 100% because I want to point out that the cover art looks so similar to me?? I don’t know what it is but like. Both of their cityscapes kind of look similar?? ish?? And also the lettering looks super similar.

I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOREVER TO FIND THE COVER ARTISTS BUT I CAN’T FIND THEM SO IF YOU KNOW WHO THEY ARE YOU SHOULD LET ME KNOW PLEASE.

The Quiet at the End of the World & The Fever King

 

Is it just me or does the cover for The Quiet at the End of the World lowkey look like it has lungs with veiny parts? Did everyone already realize this and am I just dumb?

These both are blue (blurple) and yellow and have those stickey strickey things that make them look really similar? Tbh I mistaked The Fever King for The Quiet at the End of the World.

Also, I’m halfway into this post and I’m 100% questioning my decision to write this post.

Navigating the Stars & Once and Future

 

I don’t know what it is about space books and this neon pink hue in covers but I’m Loving It™.

(Also side note: I’m so excited for Once & Future oh my god!!!!)

When I Am Through With You & Keep This To Yourself

 

Yes, I did think that these were the exact same book but um… the red font makes them seem similar? I don’t know why? These both have titles that are kind of talking to the reader directly?

Also, apparently Keep This to Yourself is gay so it’s already 10x better than When I Am Through With You, just saying.

The Enchanted Sonata & Romanov

 

I saw these books next to each other on Netgalley and I highkey thought that these were the same exact book for somee reason?? And then when I got two separate emails for each of these books from Netgalley I was CONFUSED because I thought these were the same.

Also, The Enchanted Sonata is self-published which I didn’t realize when I saw it!! Doesn’t that cover look so amazing?

Castle of Lies & Thick As Thieves

 

I haven’t even read The Thief (the first book in the Queen’s Thief series) but when I saw the cover of Castle of Lies I immediately got vibes like the covers for the Queen’s Thief series?? Like, the paper cutout-type designs of a castle, I guess? I DON’T KNOW.

Wicked Saints & The Devouring Gray

 

Does anyone else think that the UK cover of The Devouring Gray is so much prettier than the US cover?? Like?? What is this:

this doesn’t match up to the uk cover 😦

Seriously : ( where is the pink that we love and deserve : (

Anyways, I don’t wholly know why I associate these with each other but I just? Do? I think it’s because they’re both two of the more hyped books of 2019???

Olivia Twist & Duels and Deception

 

These both have such similar fonts and they BOTH HAVE THAT CURL CURVE THING in their titles??

I’ve noticed that so many old England-y books have really similar covers/fonts?? Which I guess makes sense in terms of marketing them.

Of Fire and Stars & The Seafarer’s Kiss

 

These both have those cutout person figures on them which I love and also, these covers are absolutely gorgeous!! I was so excited for Of Fire and Stars but then I saw a ton of negative/mediocre reviews so I never really picked it up?? HOWEVER, I STILL JUST MIGHT BECAUSE IT’S F/F AND I KNOW THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY ENJOYED IT.

I also was really hyped for The Seafarer’s Kiss, which is ALSO F/F!! but I never really got the means to read it. Sooo I’m going to try and acquire it from the library if I can this year?

Give the Dark My Love & A Curse So Dark and Lonely

 

Don’t both of these titles just give you the same feel?? Like that five-word fantasy-title feel?? I have no idea what I’m talking about.

Also, I highkey mistaked A Curse so Dark and Lonely for Give the Dark my Love and I don’t know why. I saw A Curse So Dark and Lonely and read the synopsis and I was just like, “That does NOT sound like the antiheroine book that Elise loved and recommended” and let me tell you, it was NOT.

#IAmADetective

(Apparently A Curse So Dark and Lonely actually… has a contemporary setting?? What??)

Do you ever just associate books with each other? (and which ones?) Did you find any of these relatable? How do you feel about these covers? Did you hate this post? (don’t tell me tho because I’m fragile)
