Cover Characteristics is a meme by Sugar and Snark- every week a characteristic is selected and we post 5 books with that week's theme.
This week is Cemeteries/ Tombstones. Such a cheery topic! Seriously though, wouldn't this be a great pick for October? When I think of this I think of a brisk wind rustling through the trees, golden leaves underfoot, stark branches against a night sky... moonlight shining down. Shadows in the moonlight, a look over your shoulder as you walk down a dark street, the oasis of a streetlamp...
I'm not super crazy about this one.
This one i like a lot with the splash of color from her green top and the city in the background.
This one is kinda fun with the girl front and center- her hair and eyes kinda stand out, and there's a dragonfly (?) in the background. Anyway this one is interesting.
This one's my favorite. Not only is it a classic but I like the stark branches against the sky and the tombstone.
Ooh my favorites are Autumn Thorns, Plague Town, and Grave Dance (I used that one too!). I do like the Agatha Christie one too though. The colors and the contrast look great. And the graphic-y ones are nice. (The sideways head cat is a nice touch lol. I probably wouldn't have even noticed that.)
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by the review on Plague Town that says, "Sexy, weird, creepy," so I will totally be checking that book out. The fact that "sexy, weird, creepy" is what makes me interested in a book probably says something about my sanity, but whatevs :-P
LOL I'm kinda curious about it now too with a description like that. I like weird sometimes... and I have to say some of these covers are making me want to try these books. :P
DeleteGrave Dance is nice, there's something about that one, and I like the cat too. Looks fun. :)
I really like Autumn Thorns and Grave Dance and agree about A Grave Situation, it just looks like fun
ReplyDeleteAgreed, I'm tempted to look at that one a little closer just because the cover is so fun!
DeleteGood ones!!! I love Plague Town (the cover is meh, but the book is great) and I still need to read the last one in that series. I like the Agatha Christie book cover a lot. I can't believe I've still never read any of her books!
ReplyDeleteSo you've read those? Good to know- we were just talking about that one above. I haven't seen it before... and I know about Christie, I haven't read her either. I tried one of her books but was bored, sorry to say. It wasn't one of the better known ones though- maybe I should try again. :)
DeleteWe both had Agatha Christie's on our list. I was not overly impressed with that one, but it was one of her firsts. What a great list!
ReplyDeleteGrave dance was a fantastic book! I'm still waiting on the last/next book :( great list x
ReplyDeleteI think Autumn Thorns is my favorite from your choices. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Covers
This is a fun topic. I love the Christie book as well. The colors and branches are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYes, it would have been great for October. Fun cover pics you shared.
ReplyDeleteI also like the Agatha Cristie cover!
ReplyDeleteSorry that this week's post was late!
