Picking a good colour palette for your book blog is tricky business, so today I want to inspire you!
I've chosen 10 books that I've recently read or am hoping to read soon and created colour palettes based on the cover art. Feel free to love them, drool on them, or use them when you next redesign your blog.

1) The Martian by Andy Weir

The colour palette of Mars! This one has dusty, firey colours (Which is funny, because Mars is actually very cold.)
Also, this book is insanely awesome if you're into science and nerdy technical stuff like I am.

2) Ice Like Fire by Sara Raasch

Speaking of fire... here's Ice Like Fire! This one has a smoky, almost cold volcanic feel to it. Is cold volcanic a thing?
Sadly when I read this one I couldn't stand Mather's chapters. Booooring.

3) Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

In the mood for cool and earthy? Passenger totally has you covered!
Also it's got a sweet romance and awesome time travelling aspect if that's your thing. Four stars from me!

4) Velvet Undercover by Teri Brown

I adore this one! The gold and brown tones, then BAM! Sweet, powerful red. I adore that shade.
The book itself is SO MUCH FUN! Exciting, spy stuff, twists, betrayals, Europe, historical... seriously, what more could you want?

5) Vicarious by Paula Stokes

Vicarious has a dark, badass, assassin kind of feel to it. Or, you know, a bumble bee. But let's stick with the badass idea instead.
I kind of have a crush on Paula Stokes. What a quality human being (and writer, duh!). Her new book sounds so incredibly awesome—I can't wait!

6) Sword and Verse by Kathy MacMillan

It seems like I'm really being drawn to the orangey/red tones, huh? Maybe because those colour palettes scream ACTION and EXCITEMENT and FANTASY and I love those kinds of books!
Sword and Verse is exactly the kind of book I turn to when I'm looking for an epic fantasy. I'm looking forward to January 19th 2016!

7) Into the Dim by Janet B. Taylor

This is me swinging in the other direction. Let's get chilly!
Get your butt on over to Goodreads and read that synopsis. Scotland, secret society, time travel, blurbed by Diana Gabaldon (author of Outlander)... HELLO AMAZING.

8) Very in Pieces by Megan Frazer Blakemore

I love this one. I'm actually a big fan of this kind of photographic style. This one is very skin tone if you know what I mean, with some pinkish/brownish overlays.

9) The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

I've actually been meaning to read this book for ages because it sounds so fabulous! I love the colour palette as well, with the red silhouette against the very blue/green background. Super cool!

10) The Devil You Know by Trish Doller

Green with a dash of glorious pink! Love it! Have you read this one yet? What did you think?

Which of these colour palettes is your favourite? Is there an awesome one I missed out on? Let me know!
