Cover Characteristics Underwater


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- Underwater  

The rogue topics continue as Cover Characteristics is officially on hiatus. This week I want to look at covers with bitchin underwater scenes. Have you read any good books set under the waves, or dealing with merfolk? If so let me know! Here are my picks.

 World of Water (Dev Harmer Mission, #2)

This one might be my favorite. I like the sense of looking up and the seabase is kinda cool. Plus you also have a view of the planet rather cleverly integrated into the art. 

Attack from Atlantis

This is probably my favorite from an old school point of view. I love domed underwater cities and that makes this a keeper.  

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

A classic obviously and I like the SF/ eeriness angle of this one.   


Oh no- she's stuck. Where are her clothes?  


Fear the Drowning Deep

This was a very atmospheric book and I think the cover reflects that.  

The Girl from the Sea

A recent cover and a good one. Might be my favorite or very close.  

Tides

Selkies. What's not to like?

This one is different- and I like the tagline.

I like how the water is vertical here? 

Underwater

A different cover for Underwater but I like this one more? 

BONUS

I wanted to share some alternate covers for 20,000 Leagues.

Sunday Post #170


The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer

This past weekend I went to a holiday open house/ Christmas thing- family was in town so I got to see them- and we got snow! And man it's been cold. We even had a bit of hail. Other than that a pretty quiet (and short) week. Thanksgiving came and went and I'm looking forward to doing some blogging, reading and maybe watching over the long weekend. I've been trying to catch up lately on movies that I've missed over at Amazon. 

Thanksgiving itself was nice and low key, sat around and watched movies and of course ate a ton. It was nice to see family twice in one week as I don't see them that often. 

A pretty good week other than that. SciFi Month is winding down and I'm starting to plan stuff out for December- and the New Year. It's been a good reading week too, although I'm reading two very different books- one is a paranormal/ UF and the other a space opera. Have to say I'm loving Long Way a lot.
