Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring Keys

 
 
Guys, I think I have a problem. I think I'm just going to officially up my Cover Characteristics book choices to ten because choosing five?  I can't do it, I tell you, I can't do it! Every single time I think to myself, I'm never even going to be able to find five covers, and then I end up with like thirty tabs of possible covers open at once plus five more of books I found when I inevitably got distracted and was like, ooh, that doesn't have a key on it, but it looks so interesting!

Anyway, here are my ten (...ok, eleven...) picks for book covers with keys!

Cover Characteristics is a weekly meme hosted at Sugar & Snark. This week’s topic is:

Gorgeous, right?! There were just too many great covers for this topic, and I never realized how pretty white covers can be. My favorites though are the ones for The Silver Key, Parlee and the Dragon Keys, and The League of Freaks and the Secret Key.

Also, this one is not normally my type of book cover, but I chose this one as a sort of runner up because the illustration is impressive. And because vampires.

      It’s funny how something as simple as keys on a textured background can be so pretty, right? But that’s what I love about the meme, that it gives me chance find all the variety in what makes a cover good!

    I just found this post through your ‘related posts’ widget and I love all these keys covers together! I think the key earring is my favourite – clever and effective detailing 🙂
