Today's topic deals with book covers. We all have to admit it...one of the first things that catch our eyes is a books cover. I'm guilty of it. I'm especially a sucker for a pretty dress, even more so for historical dresses. So, here are my book covers that I would love to redesign. I didn't do 10 because some of mine include more than one book!
1. Jane True Series by Nicole Peeler - I have to be honest, I can't remember why I picked this series up. But, I guarantee it wasn't because of the covers. The cartoonish design doesn't do it for me at all.
2. Any series by Brandon Mull - I love both The Fablehaven series and The Beyonders series. I also love that these covers really encourage boys to read. But at the same time they are off putting to girls. I recommended them to a 5th grade girl at the school were I work, and she immediately commented on how she never thought to read them because of the covers.
3. Fifth Grave Past the Light by Darynda Jones - The dreaded cover change. I've really enjoyed the past covers in this series. I don't really like this one though. I do love the purple hue.
4. Queen's Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle - It's not so much a cover redesign as much I dislike it when another country has a much better cover. Such as the case here. Can you guess which one I like better.
5. Shade of Earth by Beth Revis - They did again. What you ask? Last book in the series and the decide to go with a different look. Why?
6. Wolfsbane and Bloodrose by Andrea Cremer - I adored the cover for Nightshade. So, I was one of the first to be up in arms when they did the cover redesign.
Yeah, I don't really like any of these covers either. Especially the first set.

Agreed- some of these are just odd. (And I LOVED the cover for Across the Universe- it was gorgeous)
