Today over at the Paper Hangover they doing a Five for Friday and it's the top five covers you are lusting over.
My top five favorite covers:
No cover sums up the entire story as much as this one. You clearly understand the characters, the conflict and it looks simply amazing.
I'm SUPER excite about the sequel which is coming out in June.
I rarely ever pick up a book because of the cover but as soon as I saw this one, I wanted to read it. I've ranted and raved about this book before...
Look at how awkward Hank looks! It's perfect.
This one is my favorite though, it's chilling.
This one, I've never seen before, I don't know anything about it but MAN is it pretty.
So what you can tell is I like black covers and covers with people on it.
What covers are you loving at the moment?
I love the cover of "The Time Traveler's Wife" because it's basically the story all wrapped up in a photograph. I'm also loving the cover of Stephen King's new book of short stories, "Full Dark, No Stars". It's a black jacket with a woman covering her head, an arm stretched out. The stories are all about the darkness in humanity and the hopeless feeling people can get when they're faced with terrible things and the cover is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHey the model in the Queen of the Dead cover kinda looks like Ashton Kutcher circa That 70s Show seasons 1 and 2.
ReplyDeleteLOVE these, and so looking forward to QOTD. You are right, that G&G cover really encapsulates the characters perfectly. Love all of these. HLOP is on my table. I will read it this summer I swear!
ReplyDeleteGreat picks, these are all really showing covers. They give you a good sense of the story -- which is what I love about a good cover. ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh, these are great choices, especially the Goth and the Ghost ones! :D
ReplyDeleteOoh, I LOVE the Looking for Alaska cover! I forgot to use that one! :(
ReplyDeleteThat Grey Eyes cover is sah-weet! Great choices.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with the Looking for Alaska one. It's so simple but very evocative!
ReplyDeleteThe looking for Alaska one does look chilling, love it!
