Top Ten Tuesday is a list feature that was created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they give you a different question or topic where you can answer by listing your top ten choices.
This week’s topic is: Top Ten Favorite Book Covers
I decided to go for covers of books that have already been released. It was a bit hard picking my top ten favorite covers, there’s so many awesome ones out there but these are the ones I seemed to have loved the most. Now this is all about the covers, it doesn’t at all mean that these are my favorite books, some of these I wasn’t really fond of or maybe the cover didn’t really relate to it at all but the covers were eye catching to me and would’ve made me pick up these books at a store.
Hourglass by Myra McEntire: Now this one for sure was on of my favorite books last year and that cover was so stunning, the color was perfect and bright enough, and the girl walking on the wall, WHAT???!!. If I would’ve seen this at the books store without knowing a thing about it I would’ve picked up for sure.
The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan: I loved this series too, such a great one that got me addicted to zombie books. I know this girl is looking all kinds of awkward and uncomfortable in that position but I think it goes great with the whole series, very eerie and desperate, on the verge of giving up which went with this book very well.
Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick: I looooved this cover, I hadn’t heard much of the book until I saw this great cover. It’s shimmery and the black and white w/ the bits of red on the feathers and the hot guy falling from the sky fit perfectly with the story.
The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff: This one is creepy and I love it, it’s got those sharp objects hanging over the stroller which makes you think “what’s wrong with this baby?" It’s also shimmery, obviously I love shimmery covers and I actually ended up liking this book a lot.
Across the Universe by Beth Revis: Ahhhh this is one of my favorite books, it’s a pretty amazing series and the cover with the purples and pinks and the stars it’s just so eye caching that it will make you do a double take if you pass by it at a bookstore. Plus the couple that looks like they’re going to do one of those upside down kisses…love it! Not only is the cover great but the dust jacket of this book is double sided, so you get two awesome covers!
Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi: I love UK covers, I did like the US cover of this book too but this UK cover was just… I don’t know.. I just love it. Maybe because you can really see the differences between the girl and the guy, maybe because it’s a drawing instead of real people on the cover and we don’t see that often, I don’t know maybe’s because of how they’re embrace and floating but I fell in love with it when I saw it and I want it!
Matched by Ally Condie: This is another shimmery cover, I have a thing for those obviously but I think the green is so vibrant and eye catching for sure. Unfortunately for this one I didn’t love the book as much as I did the cover, it just didn’t live up to my expectations but the cover it’s still a great one.
Slice of Cherry by Dia Reeves: I like creepy covers, I just have a thing for them. This one gives a sense of innocence with the teacups but then you see that dripping blood and you know this isn’t going to be a light and fluffy read. I also love the font on the title and the author’s name. Plus even though the book was a little disturbing and creepy and should not be read while you’re eating, I ended up liking it because it was so different.
Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares by David Levithan & Rachel Cohn: I looooved this book, it’s definitely a favorite and even though the US cover was nice and all this is another UK one that I love way better, I think it’s the drawings and doodles on it. It’s just so different than the US version, this is another one I would love to have in my collection.
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin: This is a wonderful cover I think, I have a thing for water covers, they’re captivating. I own the book but haven’t read it yet, I know I’m lame but I really do love this cover, it’s mysterious and sexy. Is he saving her or are they just embracing in the water? I guess I would know if I read the book.
