Today's Cover Characteristics - Arrows


Cover Characteristics is a weekly meme hosted by Sugar and Snark. Every week they give us these gorgeous themes and then you have to pick 5 (or more - whatever blows your hair back) covers featuring that theme. If you want to participate: 
  • Pick your covers 
  • Post it to your blog
  • Share your post's URL in the linky provided by Sugar and Snark
  • Go and check out the other guys who also posted! (This might influence your current TBR list a great deal.) 

Staying true to my species (creatures of habit), I will again list my favourite cover as the one that I thought of first.

Robin Hood by Antonia Fraser. Although there are numerous covers and authors of the legend of Robin Hood, I picked this one mainly because the guy on the cover slightly resembles the ultimate Robin Hood:

I wish I kept count of how many times I've watched this movie. Lets just say the video doesn't work anymore. (Not that we have a VCR any more either to test it)

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie Yes, I've used this book before. How can you ever forget this delightful  tale of the boy who will never grow up.


The glass arrow by Kristin Simmons I like the cover, but not interested in reading the book. Let me know if you want to change my mind!

4917814  Caribou Island

The Act of Love by Howard Jacobson
Caribou Island by David Vann 

Haven't read any of these, but get confused with the plots while trying to list it. Somethings are too similar. What I do know is that both of these books deal with marriage issues. Maybe both of these couples just need to get hit by one of that cute, little chubby guy's arrows again.

I won't be joining Cover Characteristics next week as I will be on holiday. I will try to get online and check out all the awesome covers that you guys pick. 

Enjoy the rest of the week and happy reading!

    Ooh I love the cover for The Glass Arrow! The colors and design are just so pretty. I also like those Robin Hood ones, though I've never actually seen or read any Robin Hood story that I can remember. I have been meaning to reread Peter Pan this year though!

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
