I am with you. I avoid books that have snakes on the covers but have bought a few recently since you can't seem to avoid it. I bought hardcovers though so I can remove the jacket and not look at the snake while I am reading the book. I'll put it back on when I'm done. <br /><br />I grew up in the country and we had a lot of snakes. I wish my parents had taught me how to tell the difference between good and bad snakes but they went with all snakes are evil. We did have a large copperhead in our front yard but most were not dangerous unless you want to count my heart attacks. I did have a snake coiled up and ready to strike once and my dog put herself between me and the snake. I only realized it was there because of how she was acting. Tiger was a very good girl. You can see why I grew up knowing dogs were good and snakes were bad.

They definitely weren't as common before, and I know because not long ago there was a Friday Face-off where the theme was snakes and I had a trouble finding covers to feature. It would not have been a problem in 2019, that's for sure! A few more I can think of just off the top of my that aren't on your list are Dark Age by Pierce Brown, The Remaking by Clay McLeod Chapman, and Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin.<br /><br />~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctumBiblioSanctumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910858361017908691noreply@blogger.com
