Another easy one for me. Maybe Seven Locks or The Golden Key. What are your key reads?

Untitled was my first read for this one, but I doubt it will be my last key book for the year.

Xanthi (libertine101) I think I'm going to struggle with this prompt.

Really? It's such a common element on mystery covers. Not as common as cats, maybe, but.... I would offer to send you Untitled, but it wasn't very good. I'm sure I'll read something better, though, so I will keep you in mind.

Xanthi (libertine101) I'm going to have to go through my books and peer at the covers closely!

Laura | 144 comments This one is tough for me too. I'll need to review my book covers again. I don't read mysteries, usually, which is where I've seen most of them too.

Steampunk covers, too. And there are other kinds of keys. Skate keys. Musical key signatures. Piano keys.

Laura | 144 comments Ah, good point on the different types of keys! I'll look again.

Mary Arkless | 153 comments I noticed that a book I bought way back in 2005 has two keys on the cover. It is "Memory and Identity, Personal Reflections" by Pope John Paul II. It has the papal coat of arms on the front cover, and that includes two keys. This book wouldn't be for everyone, as the basis of it was a series of meetings between the Pope and two Polish philosophers back in 1993. It was slow going at first, but was more interesting once I got past the first section.
