This Week's Prompt:
Top Ten Favorite Book Covers
Easy enough! Here are mine, in no particular order:
Seeing all these covers side by side has made me realize something about myself: I really like covers with detailed pictures that show a piece of the story. I especially seem to like covers that show what some of the characters look like.
I'm not too surprised that I like having a picture of the character on the cover: I always like to look at fan art and book art so I can have an idea what the protagonists look like. I am surprised that I like art on my covers this much. Looking back, I now remember that it was the covers of the first 3 Harry Potter books that made me want to read the series in the first place (thank you, Mary GrandPre!)
The only cover that I loved that doesn't have any art on it is Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. The reason why I love that cover is because it glows in the dark, and that, my friend, is just plain awesome. :)
What's your criteria for a good book cover?
Enjoy the weekend!

ReplyDeleteHere's my F&F!
I noticed the same thing about your covers (y'know, before I read below). I think I'm kind of the same way, come to think about it.

Hopping through. I like the Mr. Penumbra cover too. It's memorable and pretty in its way.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! You have me at glow in the dark book cover *stakes it out*. I do also love the Harry Potter covers because while personally I don't always appreciate scene artwork straight off (compared to when reading/looking back) they present the story so well :)
