Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge: Favorite Book Covers and Why

 


The Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge is hosted by Long and Short Reviews. They offer this blog hop as a weekly prompt to help you gain new friends and visitors. You don't have to participate every week, but if you decide to post and join the blog hop for a week, Long and Short Reviews asks that you share your link on their weekly post on their website (it will be the top post on the home page each Wednesday morning). The link list remains open for new links for 48 hours. Visit the other bloggers participating to see what they discuss that week. Comments are appreciated. 

Wow! This is a tough topic, especially after nearly two decades of blogging. I will stick to my top five, but I could change my mind quickly. :) 


I am not usually a fan of yellow covers, but I love this one for The Unhoneymooners. The tropical colors and feel are so attractive. 



There are so many pretty covers for Charlotte Hubbard's books. I love the one for A Mother's Love because it reminds me of my days as a mother of young girls. 


I've been drawn to historical homes for decades. That's likely why I enjoy historical fiction as well. Duffy Brown's Killer in Crinolines is set in Savannah, Georgia, in a consignment shop housed in a rundown Victorian. Everything about this cover is beautiful. 


Until we owned Travis, I thought of black cats as creepy. He has such a loving personality that I no longer feel that way. Halloween Murder by Leslie Meier reminds me of our friendly, furry family member. It also makes for a cute cover. 


Half of why I want to read The House in the Cerulean Sea is because of its beautiful and colorful cover. 

Have you read any of these? Did any of these make your list?

  3. I don't think I've read any of those books, but I'm glad you've learned to appreciate the special purrsonality of a black cat. I don't know that they bring good luck; they certainly don't bring bad luck. I've also heard that they're more energetic and more affectionate than other cats. That I can believe.

  4. Those are the types of covers that would attract me. I love strong colours. The House in the Cerulean Sea has been on my TBR for ages. I must read it!

    1. It's been on my list forever, too, George. Oh, if we were all born independently wealthy and could just sit and read for hours. :) Thanks for visiting.
