OMG!  I was soo shocked at the number of books with water on the covers.  There are millions out there.  Women swimming in it.  Men's chest covered in it.  So I thought I would focus on a color.  The color of water for me is blue.  And of course I made it extremely diverse adding POC authors and POC characters.  Click on the book titles below to go to their Amazon page.

I have missed doing this meme so much.  I am a book cover judge and I have been judging for years.  So to get to do a whole meme dedicated to just covers is like second nature for me and fun.  Today's theme is all about Chess pieces.  My revelation about this was chess piece on the cover means thriller/mystery.  Hmmm!  Oh by the way, I didn't pick Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer because I thought everyone else would pick it.  

Your move.
