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- Libraries/ Bookstores
Going rogue again- this week I am taking a look at books with libraries or bookstores on the cover.
Okay some of these may be a stretch- some just refer to bookstores or just have books but these things aren't an exact science. Anyway I'm surprised I didn't think of this topic sooner- seems like a natural. So, which is your favorite?
I like this cover and the book wasn't bad.
This book wasn't really for me but it wasn't bad, just not my thing. Love the cover though. The cat didn't show up nearly enough in the story, as I recall.
A nice series about a resort that caters to book lovers, and has SEVERAL libraries. Yes you heard that right. We all want to go.
I don't have any idea about this one but book on a dock with a lantern... I don't know, I like.
No bookstore in sight but I know this takes place on a book barge, actually- and several bloggers have sung its praises.
This reminds me of a movie plot, having to find clues hidden in books- or notes/ love letters I think it is. I just love the snowy NYC feel.
Okay this one might be iffy but I know it involves a Seattle bookstore and I've been wanting to read it.
I saw a humorous review for this one somewhere and so it came to mind.
This one is kinda funny.
And... some cozy action. This authors covers always catch my eye, in this case it's the books and a fireplace
I think Mr. Penumbra's is my favorite. It's simple but striking. I also like the murder one. It seems like putting cats and dogs on the cover of murder mysteries and cozies is a thing, but they always make the covers cuter lol. And yes, I do want to go to that resort! There should totally be, like, book-themed resorts.
ReplyDeleteI like that cover. It works w/ the yellow even though it's not actually showing much. And yeah cozies and animals seem to go hand in hand lol. That cover is pretty inviting...
DeleteI didn't realize those were books on the Penumbra cover. Ha ha. I am so observant. I want to read those bookstore quotes books. There was a Tumblr account by a bookstore employee that used to post things customers said and asked for, but they stopped posting. It made me sad. :P
ReplyDeleteYou know it's easy to miss! I don't think I realized it was books at first either- I didn't notice! I would love to see a Tumblr like that...
DeleteWhat a fun meme! and I just bookmarked 4 of your titles.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you found some- and it is a fun meme. You never know what you'll come across... :)
DeleteBoth of those Weird things Customers Say books are on my TBR list. I’ve heard that they’re hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
They both look a lot of fun!
DeleteI loved Dash and Lily's Book of Dares and Goodnight June.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Good night June!
DeleteI haven't heard of half of these, but you're right the cover for The Moment of Everything is great! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great cover and I had high hopes but it was a bit disappointing. And the cat wasn't in the book nearly enough! It wasn't bad though...
DeleteI like 'em too, something cozy about books. :) And cats too... I want to go to that place.
ReplyDeleteI've not read "Dash and Lily," but do think the cover is adorable. Every time I see it I think it must hold a charming story to have such a lovely cover. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Finding Wonderland.
I probably wouldn't have even caught the first one. I just saw a yellow and white pattern. lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! The Little Paris Bookshop cover is fabulous. I liked that one, but I didn't love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm always drawn to cozy-mystery covers!
