nsamade.blogg.se - Lovely dark and deep by amy mcnamara

Both series are great, but I’m kind of creeped out by how the cover model is just staring at you all creepy.

Faces Creepily Staring: Charade by Cambria Hebert and The Iron Traitor by Julie Kagawa.

I have mixed feelings about them, but I like that these 2 covers relate to the book and still draw you in without being overly loud or showy.

Simple Cover: The Chaos Of Stars by Kiersten White and Lovely, Dark, and Deep by Amy McNamara are good examples of simple covers.

Artsy: Wild Awake by Hilary Smith is really artsy, and it would totally get my attention if I saw it on a bookshelf.

Interesting Objects: Scintillate by Tracy Clark: I really like how the object takes center stage and goes so well with the book.

I don’t know what sort of effect it is, but whatever it is, it’s beautiful.

Colors/Shading: Unearthly by Cynthia Hand: I love how soft and muted the cover is.

Which is good for when the covers are god-awful, but also bad when the covers are completely awesome. This week is all about covers (or elements of covers) that we like or dislike! I’ve said before that I don’t pay a lot of attention to covers- covers just aren’t important when you’re an e-book/audio book person.
