The splash of red and the color of the moon are what hooked me initially, and then when your eyes looks at the picture - well, it is really a work of art. Then when you read the book and find it cohesive to the story, I'm sold on the cover! Great choice. <br /><br />Speaking of Wither and the pretty dresses trend - I think I'm the only person in the world that doesn't mind/actually likes the "Girl-In-Pretty-Dress" YA cover trend - as long as they're truly pretty. Wither, Born Wicked, Dragonswood, some of those are absolutely gorgeous. Bonus points of the girl and the dress are actually in the story! <br /><br />I love Across the Universe's cover too - wish they'd have kept the pretty purples and stars for the paperback...<br /><br />Lovely list Melissa ;)Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120760076447564855.post-18466791420913934392012-03-06T13:51:02.399-05:002012-03-06T13:51:02.399-05:00Ooh, great picks!

Do you like the "Across...So... have to ask ...<br />Do you like the "Across the Universe" cover that has the faces, or the schematics of the ship side instead? I loved that it had both - in fact, I put out two copies, one with each cover, and watched the kids divide them by gender, yet both loved the book. Interesting..<br />Same thing for "Life As We Know It" - I didn't love the original cover with the dresser and the slight sketch quality, but love the photograph styled version! <br />An interesting list for sure - congrats on the Michelle Hodkin cover print as art! Sounds beautiful!!Melissa (i swim for oceans)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06840790603713851746noreply@blogger.com
