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's pick- The Backs of People
Okay I wasn't sure I was going to like this one very much but then I came across these redesigned Bond covers and remembered using some for Bookcover Spotlights a few months ago. So that helped jumpstart my search and I ended up happy with what I found. Like silhouettes last time I think there's a lot you can do with different poses- so this week turned out not so bad after all.

I rather like this one with the red hair and the lettering.

I like the knife, I think that's a nice touch. Otherwise this one's just okay.

This one's almost more of a side view but who's counting?

This one's not bad but it's not a favorite- I do like the reflection
BONUS - this is the German cover of Thunderball.

Wha ha ha!! My husband will love these, will show him tonight. Very very nice. I've just posted my cover characteristics as well http://marelithalkink.blogspot.co.za/2016/05/cover-characteristics-23-may-2016.html (how do I get it so that it just display the link and not this whole pedigree??)
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty nice all lined up, aren't they? I've never read a Bond book but I like these redesigned covers.
DeleteI'm not into James Bond at all, but those covers are excellent!!! Great picks!!
ReplyDeleteI liked them too, I bet they would all look good on a shelf. :)
DeleteThese are all so pretty! Especially when you put them all together like this. But of course my favorite is the red one :-P But even if it weren't my favorite color, I do like how the text is in that one and the pose and dress. And I think Thunder Ball is my second favorite.
ReplyDeleteI think that's one of my favorites too, actually. It stands out from some of the others. each one has a little bit different text, and that's one of the better ones. Which Thunderball do you like? I'm partial to the German one myself.
DeleteThose are cool! I like The Spy Who Loved Me the best.
ReplyDeleteI think that's one of the better ones- and that German version of Thunderball is kinda sweet too.
DeleteThese are really neat. I think I like The Spy Who Loved me cover the best.
ReplyDeleteI love that you went with all James Bond covers! Fun!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Covers
I love the Bond covers. Love a fun re-design!
