This is a new meme hosted by Sugar & Snark. It came about when Sugar was wondering which cover to use for her #70 Cover of the Week post. Sugar kept on thinking of more than one, and they all seemed to have a theme/characteristic. So she decided to switch things up a bit!
Each week we will post a characteristic and choose 5 of our favorite covers with that characteristic. If you want to join in and share your 5 favorite covers with the weeks particular characteristic, then just make a post, grab the meme picture (or make your own) and leave your URL in Linky (so we can visit). You don’t even need to participate, just stopping by and saying hi would be great! Don’t forget to stop by the other participants!
Today’s Cover Characteristic: Skylines
There are certain city skylines that are very distinctive and recognizable. Although not one of the top ones, I have always loved Austin’s skyline. It is close to home and familiar, but beautiful at the same time.
Upcoming Themes:
And Then: Statue(s), Cemeteries/Tombstone(s), Framed picture(s)/photo(s), Gargoyle(s), hand(s), doorknob(s)
I love the Austin skyline, too, Charlie. Nothing beats the connection of seeing/reading about home. I like your choices in covers. I think Everyone Brave is Forgiven is my favorite. There are some books on your list I’ve not heard of, so I’ll have to check them out.
I love all of these! Skylines are such a great cover. They always make me want to get the book.
This is an interesting meme!
I like skylines on covers. Since I read a lot of urban fantasy, I’m used to seeing city settings on covers (at least in the background). I’ve actually been thinking about something like that for the book I’m currently writing.
Nice pic of Austin! Great choices this week- I especially like An American Journey and Roof Toppers, and Everyone Brave Is Forgiven is neat too. Christmas Ever after not bad with the bridge and everything. I think Roof Toppers might be my fave.
I really like your choice of skylines! I almost put One Wish in Manhattan on my post, but I decided against it last minute. 😀
My Skyline Covers
Great picks! I love the One Wish in Manhattan.

Very interesting meme. I don’t think I spend as much time thinking about covers as I should. Thanks so much for sharing this at Booknificent Thursday!

I didn’t either, until I started seeing this meme. After about a month or so I decided to join in, and you do have to be looking!
