We all judge books by their covers (don't deny it). What are some of your favorite book covers?

[Michelle]

I think mine are (the entire series) (the entire trilogy)Just to name a few...

[Nuran]

I don't necessarily think these books are good or bad but I love the covers.

[Michelle]

Covers, mostly for me, is whether or not it grabs my attention. I judge the cover on whether or not I want to know what the book is about. Once I start reading then the cover doesn't matter as much.

[Michelle]

Those are nice covers. I like that version of Fire more than the U.S. one.

Yeah me too, I'm not too sure I would have picked up Fire otherwise, unless I read good reviews about it. The covers do sometimes mess you up, especially if the description of the main character is not the same as the covers. Summoning was one of those covers.

[Michelle]

I hate those covers especially when the covers have a girl or guy on the cover and they don't match the description in the books.

Also when there are people on the cover in a pose like they are in a photo shoot instead of a book cover.

Shatter me series legend series and selection series

[Michelle]

When I read shatter me I kept staring at the cover (the one with the eye, not the one with the girl). The eye was alluring. It was a little weird but nice covers. Legend is also cool looking.

[Samantha The Escapist]

This is one of my absolute favourite covers in the world, look at it up close if you get the chance. But then the second and third installments had stupid actors on the cover, and THEN they replaced the original with this one: and now it's all you can get.

Travesty.

[Michelle]

Haha I know what you mean. I hate it when they change the covers and they are worse covers.

For legend series I was mostly thinking about Champion. The rose was freaking awesome.

[Michelle]

The champion cover is the best one of the trilogy.

[London]

Really love this cover: though I've never read the book. I never really liked the naked man on -- always seemed like a strange choice to me! -- but Clare's other covers are fabulous!

[Michelle]

I totally agree. I guess they want to show the runes but the shirtless guy on the cover makes it look more like a romance, which it isn't really. I like Cassandra Clare's other book covers.
The Replacement cover is creepy and interesting at the same time. I haven't read it either.

[Ashli]

Also graceling series

[Michelle]

The Graceling series have perfect covers for the actual stories. They aren't random things on the covers. There are also so many different versions of those covers.
Kristin Cashore has her cover gallery on her blog.

I love the Graceling covers. :-)

And yes, the shirtless guy does say romance. He also looks older than Jace is supposed to be, doesn't he? Isn't Jace like 17? Weird. Hasn't hurt the book's sales at all, though, obviously :-)

[Michelle]

I'm not sure if the covers hurt or help the sales. Maybe people don't care and have heard good things about the actual book. Who knows...

[Izzy]

I think my all time favourite cover is this:

Just look how beautiful it is! It's like a still from those capsules and gels for washing machines.

I also like the look of these:


and this version


While that particular cover of 'The Replacement' shows it's about changelings, the mood and complexity of the symbolism misrepresents the novel somewhat. Sadly, the novel itself isn't like that at all.
I read the book with the other cover (emo teenage boy brooding in the forest) so I knew pretty much what I would be reading.

[Michelle]

The Study series has great covers and there are so many different versions. It is disappointing when the cover is deceiving.

[Michelle]

The Jewel, selection series, and lunar chronicles are my personal favorites.

I just finished these books and the insides are as beautiful as their outsides!

, , by Marie Hall

Except my copy of 'Crimson Night' has this cover: but GRs lists this 'Crimson Night' book being by R.S. Black. I wonder if that's a pen name of Marie Hall's because I noticed another of her books, title and cover, by this R.S. Black.

Ah, yes, it's the same person. Lol. From 'Crimson Night' by R.S. Black GRs page: "AUTHOR NOTE: This book was previously published under a different pen name. Make sure you don't already own it before purchasing."

@caterina all amazing covers!

[Nicky]

The Graceling covers are good but I don't generally like covers with people on the front like The Mortal Instruments Series.
I'm sad about the new Harry Potter covers though - I prefer the original UK ones!

[Michelle]

@nicky I actually like all of the Harry Potter covers. I haven't really seen any terrible Harry Potter covers.
