But, as usual, I somehow managed to choose just ten ;-) and I don't have a whole to say about hands other than they are super useful and I'm really happy to have them. So here are the covers!
Cover Characteristics is a weekly meme hosted at Sugar & Snark. This week’s topic is:
Books Covers featuring Hands
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black
The contrast of the skin and background is striking, and I love the font.
The Healing Wars Series by Janice Hardy
These are just pretty, very magical looking.
Sora’s Quest by T.L. Shreffler
This one is gorgeous and artistic, and it looks almost 3D. I was tempted to choose this as my favorite but didn’t because it kind of looks more like a video game than a book cover (though it’s still gorgeous).
Servants of Fate Series by Sarah Fine
These look interesting with a great fantasy/sci-fi feel.
The Marnie Baranuik Files by A.J. Aalto
I couldn’t help but share all six of these because they’re just SO PRETTY!
Havelock by Jane D. Everly
This is another 3D one, which I love, plus I love all the red (big surprise).
The Left Hand Path: Mentor by T.S. Barnett
This is some nicely done yet creepy looking cover art.
Girl on a Wire by Gwenda Bond
It was the cover of this one that really drew me to the book (and I’m glad it did because it ended up being fantastic). I love the art style and the colors and the, well, the girl on a wire lol. It’s very eye-catching.
A Gathering of Shadows by V.E. Schwab
I like the minimalism and the colors.
My Favorite:
Leech Series by James Crawford
I am just so drawn to these covers, especially the first one! It’s another 3D-ish one, but it also looks so inviting and interesting and has a great use of colors.
The cover of AGOS kind of freaks me out because there are so many hands!
Lol I mean, yeah, if all those hands were actually reaching at me, I’d be freaked out too.
This was a fun one. The Healing War covers are all good, they do have a magical quality to them, and I like the colors (especially that first one).
I think Sora’s Quest is my favorite. Yeah it’s a bit video gamey but I like the green orb thingie, I don’t know. 🙂 It kinda jumped out at me. The Aalto covers are kind of freaky, definitely makes me wonder what’s going on in THOSE books lol. and I like Havelock (that might be my 2nd favorite). I wonder what the pill is all about, and the red nails- nice cover.
These are all good though!
Yeah, the first is my favorite of the Healing Wars series too. I do love the Sora’s Quest cover, so I can understand that being your favorite. Didn’t even think about the green lol. I think the Aalto books are about a witch or something like that? I might’ve made that up, haha, but they are on my TBR. Also wouldn’t mind reading Havelock, I think it’s sci-fi. Thanks!
I never realized there are so many covers featuring hands, the only one that comes to mind right now is Destiny Rising by Siobhan Davis. But you sure found some great covers, I really like these, the focus on the hands does give a very specific feel and tone to the covers. I really like the covers for the Healing Wars and the ones for the Leech series are very good too.
Destiny Rising is a pretty interesting cover. It’s hard to think of them off the top of the head though. I usually look through my Kindle and TBR for these posts lol. The 3D ones especially give a neat feel to the covers. Hands is a great topic since there’s so much that can be done with them on covers. And I love that on Leech cover so much!
Nice! Yeah, there are a LOT of hands on covers. I bet this was an easy week to find covers for.
The easy ones are the best ones because they give me so much to choose from! Hands was a fun topic.
Oooh, I forgot about Girl on a Wire! Great picks! You can check out my pics this week in the link below!
Thanks! I had to include that one since it was the cover that caught my attention in the first place 🙂
I only recognize ONE book this week, Kristen! Holly Black’s. 🙂 But my favorite is Caleo, too! Geez! Those covers are awesome! And you’ve just added another book to my tbr. 😉
I have finally stumped the great Brandee! Ok stumped isn’t quite the right word, but you do always seem to have read every book on my cover posts, so this is quite a surprise 😛 Would you believe I’ve had Caleo sitting on my kindle for almost a year but still haven’t read it, despite its pretty cover always beckoning me? Lol I’m gonna try and get to it this year.
That Leech series cover is fantastic! Have to add it to my tbr list!
Thanks for joining in last week 🙂
Sugar & Snark
Yay, it’s on my TBR too 🙂
