Top Ten Tuesday: Green Books

March 17, 2026

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Artsy Read Girl.
Each week features a book related topic to spotlight your Top Ten.

Topic:

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, fellow bookish leprechauns! 🍀

I’m rocking green today — as tradition demands — but let’s be honest… not everyone wants to sport the full emerald ensemble. So here’s a sneaky idea: if you’re skipping the green outfit, why not celebrate with a green-covered book instead? That way, you’re still in the spirit without pinching anyone.

Full confession: I may have taken this green-reading habit to legendary levels. My shelves are basically a forest of green! I couldn’t resist sharing my haul of shamrock-worthy reads.

From Historical Fiction to Contemporary, Fantasy to Dystopian, Classics to YA, Middle Grade to Romance, there’s a little something for every sneaky, shamrock-loving reader.

So grab a green snack, curl up with a green-covered story, and let your literary luck of the Irish run wild. 🍀✨ Who needs a pot of gold when you’ve got a shelf like this?




Little Women by Louisa May Allcott
Price of Privilege by Jessica Dotta


Some Like It Scot by Pepper Basham
Uneasy Street by Becky Wade


Honeysuckle Dreams by Denise Hunter
Voyager by Diana Gabaldon
Secrets in the Mist Morgan L. Busse


Stay With Me by Jody Hedlund
A Court of Mist & Fury by Sarah J. Maas
The Painted Castle by Kristy Cambron


The Austen Escape by Katherine Reay
The Shepherd's Wife by Angela Hunt


Have you read any of these? I’ve read most of them and enjoyed each in their own way. A couple are still on my TBR, and hopefully I’ll get to dive into them soon.

What about you — what green-covered gems did you feature today?
