Rainbow Reads: Books With Orange Covers

There are affiliate links in here. I get a small commission if you purchase through them at no extra cost to you

Welcome back to my rainbow reads series! Next up we’ve got books with orange covers. This one was a little more difficult than the red, but once I got in my groove I started finding a lot more.

I try to steer away from really popular books but a few sneak through. I also try to keep the list diverse in characters featured and by authors. Finally, I try to keep a variety of genres, but there is a lot of contemporary out there, so there is a lot on this list.

If you’re not a contemporary fan though, don’t worry. I bet you can find something on this list you’d like! There are over 40 books on it, after all!

If you want to listen to some of these, consider trying Audible! You can get your first month free (one free book) plus tons of others they have for free. Get that Audible deal here.
If you’re on more of a budget, try Scribd! You can get your first month free there. You can read books and listen to audiobooks. It is unlimited (especially the reading) but if you listen to tons of new audiobooks you may be restricted after a few. I don’t listen to enough to confirm this, but I do use Scribd myself and like it a lot. Sign up for Scribd here!
Shop my collection of bookish goodies on Etsy! These aren’t my shop items, but other shops I’ve curated into a book-themed collection. Shop my Etsy bookish goodies here!
If you want to read more on your Kindle but don’t want to buy books, Kindle Unlimited is a wonderful option. It’s $9.99 a month but if you read a lot and like to read more than just new releases, it could be worth it. Get Kindle Unlimited here!
Get $5 off of $25 from BookOutlet! This is a great place to find new books for pretty cheap. They also have sales quite a bit, so keep an eye out for those. I tend to check here for books I want if they’re more expensive other places. They don’t have everything but they do have a lot. Shop BookOutlet here!
Thrift Books has become my go-to when I’m looking for a book and want it cheap. It’s great if you like buying used books. With this you can get a free book after spending $30!
Shop my book lists here! You can find every book list I have on Bookshop.org (except my monthly round-ups) and I add everything I can but they occasionally won’t have some. I do occasionally add extras though. If any lists are empty, they’ll be filled in shortly! Shop my bookshop.org book lists here.

Non-fiction books with orange covers

Finally, we have non-fiction books with orange covers. These were a little harder to find, but I think I found some good ones. I know I added a few to my TBR while a couple were already on it.
