1613065 Sorry, I added a book without taking into account that it was published pre 2009. Can't see a way to delete it, sorry again


message 2: by Leila (new)

1238671 I hope it's okay if I added Jane Eyre. I know the actual book wasn't published in 2009 of course but that specific edition with that cover is going to be published in April 2009 by Vintage and I absolutely love it.

That's fine and dandy - it's the cover art for this year not the content that is looked for here

:O)

Go into the full list page and over on the right is your pick and there is a cross in a box next to it - it is a very pale motif that is probably why you didn't see it.

Thanks for that, glad my new glasses are coming next week!

395599 Leila, that's a gorgeous cover of Jane Eyre - one of my favourite books!


message 7: by David (new)

Nophoto-m-25x33 I voted for 'View Points and Points of View', a square format with an extremely striking image. The title has been written in the form of an artistic logo and the sinister emu staring at you out of the darkness, dares you to undo the bolt to its shed/the book, and look inside. I did dare to look inside the book and was only too glad that I plucked up the courage.


message 8: by Antoine (new)

795030 I removed the DA VINCI CODE as I couldn't see how that could possibly be considered "of 2009." I love the new Jane Eyre cover. Kudos to whoever picked that.

Some of this cover art is great, but a lot of it strikes me as pretty ho-hum. But we are entitled to our choices, I suppose.

So glad you did! I agree with you about many of these covers - and am I the only person who finds the cover to Dan Brown's new book to be extremely ugly??

There are some other books here that came out pre-2009 but I don't know how to remove them.

Name them, and I will make them go away.
