Four to Read More – Gloucester

Inspired by Kelly Jensen’s “Three on a YA Theme” series at Book Riot (take a lookwe’ll wait!), we present Four to Read More, mini-collections of four books that share some common theme, whether it’s the name of a character, a cover design quirk, or something else. Check back frequently for a new one, and be sure to email us if you come up with your own!

This time, the theme is Gloucester font. I noticed a bunch of books in the library that had this serif font. It looks like a mix of the fonts used on circus posters and fancy newspaper fonts of yore. Since these books are so disparate, I’m sure one of them will appeal. Enjoy!
