Top Ten Favourite Covers of Books I've Read

1. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - I mean, seriously. Do I really even have to justify this one? I loved this book, and I really loved this cover. In fact, I have an art cover of it. Bam!

2. The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher - Are you sensing a theme with my favourite covers? I certainly am. There's a lot of water going on. It's oddly fitting with the blog name. I liked this book the first time around, but the second time around, it didn't work for me. The cover, however, always will.

3. Trapped by Michael Northrop - I loved this cover from the first moment I saw it. There's something perfectly melancholy and eerie about it, and it fits well with the premise of this survival tale. Unfortunately, the cover far surpassed the book for me.

4. Bewitching by Alex Flinn - Generally, I'm not really a sucker for girls in pretty dresses, but for this modern fairy tale retelling, it works. Kendra is one ghastly (and deceptively gorgeous) witch, and the cover is totally fitting. 

5. Between by Jessica Warman - I don't see this book around nearly enough, and that still saddens me because I loved this one. Seriously. LOVED. But I love how haunting the cover is, too. It took me weeks to realize that the sky and the ground are reversed on the cover. Totally cool.

6. Deadly Cool by Gemma Halliday - The cover of this one is perfect with the cool little earbuds that make up the lettering. It's simplistic but poignant, and it's not too, too serious, which is good because this is one fun and entirely surprising book.

7. Wither by Lauren DeStefano - I desperately wanted to love this book, but it ended up falling a bit flat for me. However, the cover of this one will always be stunning in my mind. There is such intricate detail, and the colours are perfection.

8. When the Sea is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen - Seriously, there's a sparse sort of minimalism to this cover that just speaks to my soul. Plus, it's a bit dark, totally creepy and it's different than pretty much every cover on my shelf, so I loved it from the cover alone!

9. The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter - I loved this book. Normally, a book that strays from true mythology wouldn't work for me, but I loved the author's writing style, and it meshed perfectly with this super-stunning cover.

10. The Dead and the Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer - This series. It's a source of much enjoyment and much frustration for me. I adored the first book, I was iffy on the second book and the third book royally disappointed me. The covers, however, never cease to amaze me.

Top Ten Young Adult Book Covers:

1. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin - Seriously? I have an art print of this that my fiance and I just can't wait to hang in our new home. It has everything I love - art, water and super awesome photography! It certainly doesn't hurt that I adore the book either.

2. The Water Wars by Cameron Stracher - I still swear this is one of the most gorgeous books I've ever seen. It's pure art, to be honest. I'd like an art print of this one, too.

3. Harbinger by Sara Etienne Wilson - I think what I love the most about this one is that there is nothing quite like it on the YA market today. Frankly, it's so original that it's the artwork that first caught my eye and sold me on it!

4. Across the Universe by Beth Revis - I didn't love this book, and that's no secret. I thought it fell a bit short of my expectations, but this cover most certainly did not. It's absolutely, positively brilliant...out of this world (wink, wink).

5. Between by Jessica Warman - Talk about a haunting cover. I didn't really get it until I actually took a long, hard look at the cover. It's eerie, off-balance and perfectly illustrates the novel, itself. It's got an understated elegance.

6. Bunheads by Sophie Flack - I first got my ARC at BEA last summer, and the cover is what drew me to it first...a little circle of ballerinas in tutus, and all you saw were the buns on their heads. It's so pretty. I still love it!

7. Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer - This is one of the first books I reviewed on my blog, and it's still one of my favourite covers. It's alive with colour, and it really pops off the shelf. Plus, it's my favourite in the series, too.

8. Wither by Lauren DeStefano - Ok, I know I protest the endless trend of "pretty girls in even prettier dresses," but this one was too good to pass up. I remember being shocked at this cover, and then lusting over it for months. I'm not ashamed.

9. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - So sue me. I know a lot of people don't love these covers, but come on! I think they stand out because they ARE so different. Plus, they're a series, they're perfect for the novels and they look great on my shelf.

10. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - This is by far my favourite Harry Potter cover. I think it's the shades of blue. The art is fantastic as ever, and it looks simply flawless. Plus, it's in line with the darker tone, which is perfect.
