Cover Love Portholes

The Woman in Cabin 10

So I did a Cover Characteristics post on this topic back in 2017 but I wanted to revisit with some new additions.

  1. Who knew there were so many covers with port holes. I just read the Women in Cabin 10. It was pretty good.

  2. I am so impressed by this. I struggle when I have to find a cover that is a particular cover, never mind that it features portholes. Well done! I have read exactly zero of these, but at least I have heard of a few.

  3. You did such a great job with this post, Greg! Who would have ever thought I'd be into portholes? Lol The vintage covers are my faves :)

  4. There is something satisfying about having a porthole on the cover of a book.

  6. Portholes are awesome! I know I've seen other porthole books out there, but I'd have to go searching. Very cool list!

  7. I never realized this was a bit of a cover theme. I really liked The Woman in Cabin 10.

  8. I thought you had done this before! But really there are SO many porthole covers that you could probably do a few posts with them.

  12. Neat to see all those porthole covers. I just read a steampunk romance earlier this year that had a porthole on the cover. This reminds me that I still need to read Woman in Cabin 10.

  13. I love anything to do with water, so portholes fits right in there!

  14. It's definitely a unique view! Not so good when you see something you don't expect to, like that ginormous eye!

  15. Oh I like this theme! It's interesting how many there are, and how many different ways they are used to express different ideas. I think Charlie Chan Carries On is really fun, but Glow certainly stands out.

  17. The Agatha Christie is so over the top sinister! I love it! I like the James Bond cover. I hadn't seen that one before and The Woman in Cabin 10 cover is amazing!

  18. You keep reminding me that I never read the third Glow book. ☺

  20. It's always super cool to see covers from old books. It would fun to find a bookstore that had an entire section dedicated to these. Hugs and Happy Wednesday! RO

  21. I loved The Woman in Cabin 10, but I totally never caught that cover with portholes are kind of a thing. :)

  22. I would never have thought there were so many covers with portholes on them. Haha! I will admit that the eye catching cover is one of the reasons I read The Woman in Cabin 10. Like the Christie cover also.

  24. I didn't realise there were so many of them with portholes on the covers! I have actually not ready of them but I did just get Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie - my cover is just different.
