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!

I had forgotten about the movie School Ties! What a cast! I really like the cover for New Boy and The Mysterious Case of the Albright Academy.
Yup another tough one. I like the Allbright Academy cover, I always like those big old schools and boarding school stories. 🙂
Me too! I thought I would find at least a Junie B. Jones in front of the school and some more older books, but I didn’t go looking too hard.
Oooh my word – School Ties…. How could I forget? I like the cover for New Boy. Excellent picks! I’m a little late for class this week, guess I’ll be sitting detention. But here’s my Cover Characteristics: http://marelithalkink.blogspot.co.za/2016/07/cover-characteristics-schools.html

Don’t know why, but the Albright Academy cover scares me a bit!
Thanks for joining in last week 🙂
