Book Tag; April Showers Book Tag

I came across the April Showers Book Tag over at This Splendid Shambles and I decided to play along.

Here's the questions.

A book with water on the cover

The Whitby Witches by Robin Jarvis fits perfectly, I think

A classic novel you’d like to curl up on the couch with

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

A scary book you would read during a rainstorm?

The Whispering Dead by Darcy Coates is a good one and an added bonus is that it's the first in a series, so if things drag out weather-wise.

A good book recommendation for rainy days?

A Discovery of Witches by Deborath Harkness is a really entertaining read.

Two characters you’d like to spend a rainy day with

Matthew Clairmont from A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness and Clive from The Slaughtered Lamb Bookstore & Bar by Seana Kelly

A book that has blue on the cover

The Dead Don't Drink at Lafitte's by Seana Kelly

A book that has a rainy setting at some point

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but don't The Woman in Black by Susan Hill have a rainy setting at some point?

A book you wouldn’t mind using as an umbrella

Bluebeard's Castle by Anna Biller - it had so much potential, but fell short in some aspects

A character you’d like to share an umbrella with

Matthew Clairmont from A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness

A novel with a dry beginning but an amazing ending?

I honestly can't come up with an answer to this one at the moment
