Cover Crazy/ Mouth Watering Monday: Wintergirls

Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson

US

Stunning! It definitely captures the essence of the book for me. What what I have been on people's IMM it is covered in shiny too!

I like:

• The title font
• The image.
• The fact that we only see one eye
• How symbolic it is

I dislike:

• The font of "Laurie Halse Anderson"

★★★★1/2

I don't even really want to talk about this one. It feels like a cop out. The words are very important but having them as the title didn't appeal to me.

I like:

• The font of the title.

I dislike:

• Having the text as the cover
• not symbolism 
• the colour scheme (doesn't fit the book at all)
•

It falls flat for me. Yes it is still gorgeous but with the stars missing it feels a little naked.

Cover Crazy/ Mouth Watering Monday: Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance

 

I really like this cover. It is cute and fun and speaks true of the novel!

I like:

• How they use different fonts for their names.
• The heart shaped clapper (I think that is what it is called)

I don't like:

• The tagline. It falls a little flat for me.

Cover Crazy/ Mouth Watering Monday: Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

US

It is an okay cover. Not great. Not bad. Just okay. It seems very cheesy and I think, whilst being an accurate portrayal of the book, it makes it seem a lot more cheesy than it is.

I like:

• The font. I like how it looks slightly burred. I don't know why, I just do.
• The sole focus on the couple. The absence of anything around them mirrors their relationship in the book.

I don't like:

• The absence of a tagline. I love tag lines.
• how cheesy it is. The book is about so much more than them being romantically involved

★★★

These are quite similar. I though it was only the title that was different (and the tagline) but the tattoo is also different and bigger. I wonder why. I think they are equal in terms of how much I like them.

I like:

• The placement of the tagline
• The size of the font.

I don't like:

• The cheesiness of the tagline. Not good.
• the font. 

★★★

Cover Crazy/Mouth Watering Monday: The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff

US

I instantly loved this cover. it was dark and haunting and creepy, yet beautiful. It is definitely eye-catching and stayed imprinted in my mind for a while after seeing it.

I like:

• The old fashioned pram. It is gorgeous and brings some beauty to the cover.
• The knives and scissors hanging over the pram. Very creepy.
• The font and colour. Very eye-catching!
  
  

I don't like:

• You know what? I have no idea! I do love it but I also know that it is not the best cover I have ever seen. I just have no idea why!

UK

It is just all wrong for me. It makes the book look bad and it just has no relevance.

I like:

• The font is quite nice. It is raised on the cover and feels nice.
• The background behind the boy looks eerie.
  
  

I don't like:

• The boy just standing there like he is a model. No relevance. 
• I cannot pinpoint why I dislike it greatly. It just doesn't work for me.
  
  

So which cover do you like best? Do you think they are relevant to the story? Share your thoughts with me!

Cover Crazy: The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

UK cover

Isn't she a beauty? I absolutely fell in love with this cover when I saw it. It looks so serene and peaceful and I just adore it. It just grabbed me. I was so intrigued to find out what it was about.

I Like:

• The font. It is so pretty. It reminds me of the trails planes leave behind in the sky. It also gives me a feel that it is going to be personal because it looks like it might be handwriting.
• The tagline, "I'm supposed to be grieving, not falling in love..." Completely grabbed me. Grief is always difficult to write about and this is an interesting take on it.
• The background and colour. It is so calming and relaxing.

I dislike:

• Nothing

US Cover

Meh. Not my cup of tea really. Too abstract. When picking apart all the elements I dislike most of them, but I think as a whole they kind of work.

I Like:

• the fact that the heart is claiming all the attention. The book is about and love. It seems fitting.

I dislike:

• The font. Seems very sterilised and unemotional.
• The placement of the text. I don't like how the heart is overlapping it and has text over it.

Which do you like best?

Cover Crazy: Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

It took me a while to decide whether or not I liked the cover. At first it seemed very immature and looked like  it was targeted towards 12 year olds (which it probably is). After a while I really grew to like the cover and could appreciate it. 

I like:

• The significance of the doll. A seems to control the girls and is definitely like a puppet master. Spencer, the girl on the cover, along with all the other girls are just dolls in the game A is playing.
• The font. It is gorgeous and girly and pretty.
• The tagline. "Never trust a pretty girl with an ugly secret". I love it!

I dislike:

• The placement of the font. I don't know where I would put it but I found it quite difficult to read.
• The placement of the tagline. It feels like it was just shoved there for the sake of it.
  

What do you think of the cover?
