Cover Characteristics - Mountains

-

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 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.)

This week's theme is Mountains. I really feel that Cover Characteristics need a soundtrack. Is it only me who constantly hear songs in my head when I see the themes?? This week it was a toss up between: 

 

Climb every Mountain from The Sound of Music and The Climb by Miley Cyrus from the good old days when she still aspired to be Julie Andrews.

Only Me? Really? Okay. Let's talk books.

My number one choice for this week is not one, but three books. All by the same author though and all three featuring the most beautiful mountain in the world - Table Mountain

If you haven't read books by Deon Meyer yet, do give him a try. Especially the Bennie Griesel series. All three books listed here features Griesel (now that I mention it - I still need to read the previous new one by Deon Meyer and the new-new one is published already....)

So now I need to find a few other books featuring mountains on the covers. I can think of titles - let's see if there are mountains on the covers:

All three listed above are by great authors and I actually have all three on my bookshelf. But haven't read anyone.....yet. Will get to it before I turn 115.

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...
