T5W 7/1/15 ; Favorite Chapter Headings



7/1/15- Top 5 Favorite Chapter Headings


5. The Diviners by Libba Bray

The chapter headings for this book are gorgeous. They look so intricate, and they are very reminiscent of the cover. (This cover, not the new covers.) The design looks almost like clockwork pieces falling from the stars, figuratively of course. I don't know if they'll have headings like these in the newest book in the series, due to the cover change, but I am hoping that they will! Also, Libba Bray's writing is fantastic as well, so I recommend this book series regardless. 





4. Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children

These books have a certain style of chapter headings, because they actually don't have them. In Miss Peregrine's, the chapters are separated by an individual page that says 'Chapter 8', for instance. On these pages, there are different and unique designs that add to the creepy feel of the novel. The pages go well with the old black and white pictures that are seen throughout the novel. I'm a sucker for things that look antique, or just have the overall old wear and tear feel to them. 






3. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

While I find basically everything in this book to be absolutely beautiful, the chapter headings are definitely ones that stand out. They are very simple, and have the regular 'Chapter 1' thing going on, but on the chapter pages, there are rose bush (?) stems coming from the side of the page. I assume they are rose bush stems because 1. roses is in the title and 2. they are covered in thorns, which is again in the title. It adds to the feel of the novel, and they just look really beautiful in my opinion. 





2. Vicious by V.E. Schwab 

The chapter headings for Vicious are super cool. They are very simplistic, because it's basically just a black rectangle with a roman numeral inside of it. Underneath the heading, it is also stated where that specific scene is taking place. While this novel is far from simplistic, the headings always looked really cool to me for some reason. The roman numerals where different, because I've only read a handful of books that use them. 






1. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

This entire series uses the same headings for the chapters and they are stunning. If you've read Throne of Glass, you've seen them. To me, they look like someone look a really high definition picture of some ice, blurred it, and then used it as the heading. For whatever reason, I just find these chapter headings really pretty, and when I was deciding my top five for this list, Throne of Glass was the first that popped into mind. It's really hard to elaborate on why you like the chapter headings of a novel so much, so this might just sound like the same sentence rephrased over and over again. But seriously, Throne of Glass has beautiful chapter headings.
