Green Covers

Hello, and welcome to this week's Top 5 Wednesday Post! Before I go any further with this post, I have a confession. A few years ago, we had a very similar prompt, which was our Top 5 Favourite Green Book Covers to celebrate St Patrick's Day. I must admit that I have recycled that post, updated it and added a couple of different books to the original post. But let's get right into this post!

This week's Top 5 Wednesday post is to celebrate the beginning of spring with the Top 5 Green Book covers. This was, again, a very hard post to write just because I needed to find green books. I must admit that most of the books are not completely green but do contain traces of green in them. I also must confess that some of the books I have either not read or have not yet read fully are really just green books that I own. Let's get right into it with my Top 5 Green books.

1. William Shakespeare: The Complete Works

This is one of the books I have read extremely little of because I am not a huge Shakespeare fan, because the language in this book is very difficult to understand. When translated into modern English, I do quite like Shakespeare! I have read Macbeth a couple of times, including at least once in this book, and then I read the rest in a more friendly book. The cover of this book, though, is completely dark green, which makes it ideal for this Spring post. Although I do want to read some more of the texts in this book, finding the motivation to do so is quite hard, as well as trying to comprehend some of the language. 

2. Theory Test, Practical Test & Highway Code

This book is one I have not read page by page, but have read various parts of the book. It is very interesting and will prepare me for driving lessons, which is good. So far, I have only looked at the key information I was interested in at the time. I do like how on the section which copies out the highway code, it makes it very clear which parts are the law and which parts are just advisory with relevant references to the key legislation.

3. Bart Simpsons Guide to Life

This is a very funny book which, once again, I have not read page by page but rather just different parts when I have been intrigued and interested in them. This is a truly entertaining book following Bart Simpson with some advice on how he thinks you should live your life. Would you follow Bart's advice for life? I probably wouldn't and would be very careful personally about what advice I follow. This book, however, does have traces of green on the cover, which again makes it ideal for this blog post.

4. The Principles of Psychology by Shona Saul

This is one of the newer editions to the original blog post, and this is one of the few books on this list that I have read in its entirety. This book is really interesting, covering a range of areas of psychology including social, cognitive, developmental, and some more specialised areas. The cover of this book is light green, and it really makes me not only think about spring but also gets me very excited for everything spring has to offer, from warmer and sunnier weather to all the green plants.

5. A Kidnapped Santa Claus by L. Frank Baum

Finally, this final book is the second new edition of this blog post and the second book on the list that I have read in its entirety. This is a lovely public-domain book that makes for a great Christmas read. In this book, Santa Claus essentially gets kidnapped, and Christmas is therefore nearly cancelled. The cover of this book is dark green which makes me think about later spring and the summer seasons which are by far my favourite times of the year.

So that is all for this week, and gosh, that was a hard post to write. Do you have any green books? If so, please feel free to leave a comment below. Also, please share this post with your friends and on your social media to get this post out there. I hope you enjoyed reading, and I will look forward to next week's Top 5 Wednesday post. Don't forget, if you like the sound of any of these books, have a look at some of my book reviews on this blog.
