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 theme- Beds
This was fun this week- I couldn't find a lot at first but once I started looking at old mysteries I got luckier. There are some great old pulp covers out there- and the taglines are often hilarious. Anyway here's what I went with. A mix of old and new- let me know what you think.
My favorite this week? Tough one, but I might go with Dead in Bed.
Hahaha, you're right, the tag lines are great! I can't even decide on my favorite old covers. Probably the same two you chose. My favorite new one would be the Jenny Han one since I chose it too :-P
Some of those taglines were pretty out there. Who read that stuff?? :)
This meme keeps getting better cause I think the topics are getting harder! I was looking ahead and I have no idea about some of those... LOL. And it was hard to pick a favorite... I liked some of the pulp covers and some were just ridiculous. :)
Some of those are pretty hilarious! And yet somehow it makes me want to read them more. http://dualreads.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/cover-characteristics-beds.html
I like that one too, and it was the last one I saw so I almost didn't include it! Those covers are something else, and the retro nature of them is fun. :)
DYING. Some of these are just too funny! I love how Lara Jean is just daydreaming on her bed, all innocent, and then BAM- dead lady on bed. Bwhahahah. These are fabulous, definitely a creative list, great job!! Shannon @ It Starts At Midnight
I can't believe I forgot about that Jenny Han cover! So much awesome. Sorry that this weeks post is was little late! Thanks for joining in last week :)
The Big Sleep cover is pretty cool. :-)
ReplyDeleteI like that one too!

I really do love the vintage covers, they are so fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteI liked 'em too, they are a window onto a different time definitely. :) Plus I like the retro feel...
DeleteThe pulp covers are amazing! And those tag lines! The Big Sleep is probably my favorite though I do love the tag line for You Can't Catch Me.
