And the chakram is just so pretty on the cover. <br />:DStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555891439130291274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884573613016632867.post-22086571292863401932014-06-24T11:53:56.226-05:002014-06-24T11:53:56.226-05:00I tend to like books with weapons on them as well....I tend to like books with weapons on them as well. They're pretty covers but it also signifies that the book is probably epic fantasy with lots of action and adventure. I love that you included Snow Like Ashes. I bet a lot of people don't even realize that is the chakram. Great list!<br />Cassi @ <a href="http://mythoughtsliterally.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Thoughts Literally</a>My Thoughts....

My 7 y/o and I talk quite often about Real Life vs. Make-Believe/Fantasy/Pretend that she may read about or see on TV/games. <br />At least that is how I feel now. I still have several years to go before we reach that age. But I think that if I was unfamiliar with a book or worried about what my child was reading, I would end up reading the book before and decide whether it is too violent for her. <br />I do understand that there are parents that won't like this and not want their children/tween/teen to read books that appear to have violence in them. <br />Thanks for stopping by!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555891439130291274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884573613016632867.post-33235671453585831782014-06-24T05:24:14.659-05:002014-06-24T05:24:14.659-05:00I'm a primary school librarian, so I don't...I'm a primary school librarian, so I don't know, but I wonder what parents of middle school and high school kids who read these books say; so many parents get so upset at the sight of weapons here. <br /><br />Here's <a href="http://readerbuzz.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-good-book-cover.html" rel="nofollow">my list of things I like about book covers.</a> Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
