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- Tea
I was going to skip this topic- I mean teapots??- but then I thought of a few and after doing a quick search I found more. So why not? The only thing is instead of teapots I'm just going with tea in general- there may be teapots or teacups but I'm just loosening up the rules a bit.
I like the first two with the libraries and the flowing curtains and especially the cat lol. And "The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul" is quite a title, haha. And I like the pink, blue, brown colors of the last one. They go well together.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna do this one, I had a few covers, but I just didn't love them all and of course wanted to stick with my SFF thing which was difficult, and I just decided not to bother this week.
I like the first two also, especially the 2nd one. And Tea-Time is great I wanted something with humor. :) I also like the one with the stacked teacups- just has a summery vibe.
DeleteI almost skipped this one, some of these topics are ? and I like the ones where I can pick SFF titles too. So I don't blame ya.
Cozy mysteries always seem to have great covers. It's one of the reasons why I wish I liked the genre! I like the books with the flapping curtains...just needs a good dog as well!
ReplyDeleteI like that one too. And yeah cozies- always good covers!
DeleteWow, there's so many more books than I thought with teapots and teacups on them! And especially books about murder! :)
ReplyDeleteI was surprised too!! Tea and murder go well together lol.
DeleteI bet there are lots of cozies with tea on the cover. My favorite has to be Summer Evenings at the Seafront Hotel. I think it has to be the color combination of the cups set against the beachy background. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet there are too. I like that one too and the Seafront Tearoom.
DeleteI actually like tea cups more than the tea pots on covers. I like the last three a lot!
ReplyDeleteI do too. Teapots alone was too boring!
DeleteA tea cup on the cover speaks of a very constrictive writing on the inside. That's the first thing I'll think of when I see one. :D
ReplyDeleteHa I had not thought about what the writing might be like!?!
DeleteThe Vintage Teacup Club probably has my favorite set of cups but it does seem like a weird subject matter.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice cover!
DeleteMy favorite is 'The Seafront Tearoom', but I'm also quite fond of those cozy mystery covers. They remind me of the covers of mysteries I read when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI like cozy mystery covers, they're often great. And that's one of my favorites too. :)
DeleteGreat selection! I adore the last 4 on your list! I was so tempted to expand to teacups as well but restrained myself.
ReplyDeleteI like those last 4 too. And I was having too much trouble with just teapots...
DeleteWow, you found so many with a pretty difficult subject :D Awesome job, and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBrittany @ Brittany's Book Rambles
Thanks for checking them out!
DeleteI like the topic of tea, teapots, and tea cups. Awesome job with the book covers.
ReplyDeleteI've actually listened to the unabridged audio version of A Fatal Twist of Lemon.
I thought this would be tough, but once I expanded to tea cups (cheated) it was easier. :)
DeleteLooks like cozy mysteries are a hotspot for tea pots, hahaha. My favourite is The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think so! And I like that one too!
DeleteIt makes sense that a lot of cozy mysteries have tea on their cover! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think so- thanks for checking these out. :)
DeleteI love a nice cuppa! Great post!
ReplyDeleteHere's a toast to covers!
DeleteA Fatal Twist of Lemon! That cracks me up. I like tea pots. I have a few that have been passed down through the family but I have never used a tea pot. I only heat my water in the microwave (gasp)
ReplyDeleteI smiled at that one too. What sacrilege (er except I've done it too). :):):)
DeleteI was surprised how many pretty covers there are w/ teacups.
Holy cow, that's a lot of teapots for book covers! I find it kind of funny though that I know a lot of people who would rather drink coffee than tea. My own mother cannot stand sweet tea. Great post though.
ReplyDeleteI basically want all these books. There's something about a teapot on a cover that makes me want the book. No idea why but it's a fact! Luckily I already have pretty much all of these on my TBR already but now I want to go read them immediately. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteEach one of these books looks great and such beautiful covers.
ReplyDeleteHee hee, I take one look at those covers and their tiny little teacups and I have to laugh. I'm a big time tea drinker, I take my earl grey in cups that are literally as big as bowls, no joke :)
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I'm pretty impressed that you found so many tea covers! I would have given up, no question. Murder at the Book Group sounds like something we should all be concerned about. And The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is just fun. These are great!
ReplyDeleteit would take me years to find these, I commend you on that lol But I love the last two!
ReplyDeletePrabhleen @ Booksarelife987
The first thing I spotted was the similarity between the first two covers - the flapping curtains, bookcases and teacups, but my favorite is the Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul cover.
ReplyDeleteTea cups and sets seem to be popular cover sets for cozy mysteries especially (along with cats), I've noticed. You've found a good mix of genres though, Greg.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I never would have guessed that so many books actually have tea cups and tea pots on them. Sure makes for a cozy visual :)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to go with the last and third to last. I'm a sucker for anything i the ocean :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard any of these, but I do like the looks of Murder in the Paperback Parlor. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for teacups! Those look like interesting books. ~Aleen
ReplyDeleteCute selections. Mysteries have the best ones with teapots in general
ReplyDeleteHa,Ha,HA...I love Douglas Adams - Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul:). Now I want a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteI love that you found some pink teacups. I love them!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in last week :)
