I've been meaning to read it for years! I was so excited when I found the Oliver Sacks matching cover because I enjoy Sacks' stories too!

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat (Picador) by Oliver W. Sacks"


Emily, these look fantastic, even without the look-alike covers. I put them on my Wish List, whether I get to them this summer or another challenge, thank you for finding them and posting!


message 55: by Jennifer (new)

Jennifer  (jml_417) I think I'm going to go with Stormy Weather: A Novel by Paulette Jiles and Stormy Weather: A Novel by Michael Meehan.

Terri (terrisa-uk) | 222 comments Cynthia, are these two ok? It looks like the same image, just recoloured a little ...

No One You Know by Michelle Richmond by Michelle Richmond

and

Driftwood Summer by Patti Callahan Henry by Patti Callahan Henry

Thanks for all those links everyone! I'm amazed at how many books have such similar covers!

message 67: by Erin (NY) (new)

Erin (NY) (erin_p) | 653 comments Ok I am not sure why my other two weren't similar enough so here is a bunch more choices. Please let me know if any of those work!
1. Evermore (The Immortals, #1) by Alyson Noel and Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy, #1) by Richelle Mead
2. The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult / Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen / Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott / Forever... by Judy Blume
3. Sushi for Beginners by Marian Keyes / Alphabet Weekends Love on the Road from A to Z by Elizabeth Noble / The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson

Thank you!!!


message 68: by Liz (new)

Liz Erin, I think she's referring to the idea that the picture on the book should be the same (or almost exactly - correct me if I'm wrong Cynthia). There are "stock images" that multiple people end up using for their different books if they don't want to have custom art done for their covers. Jennifer's website in Message 57 has some perfect examples. I hope that helps :)

Tanya D (mtlbookworm) | 144 comments There's also:

House Rules Jodi Picoult and
House Rules Rachel Sontag

Works perfect for me because I own the Rachel Sontag one and I've been looking for an excuse to read the Jodi Picoult one.

No problem at all!! It is quite genre-specific (historical fiction) but it is a pretty good resource for this task, I think.

Diane ~Firefly~ Would these 2 work for same title? Rising Stars is basically the series name.

I don't think so, since one is "Born in..." and one is "Born of..."

ETA: Oops, I didn't see that Cynthia had already given this the ok. Sorry!

I didn't obviously look at this close enough since it isn't the same it does not count I'm sorry.

message 81: by Usako (new)

Usako (bbmeltdown) | 1256 comments Cute weblink with the older artwork shown! I figured they would be re-used a lot with the classic novels.

I haven't decided what I'll read. I'm on the fence.

1 - No
2/3 - Not really but if you can't find anything else I would take them (3 is better than 2)

Kiri | 94 comments How about these?


Although I am trying to find a book (but not romance if it can be avoided) to match this cover


This one is a stretch (imo) but I do have this book at least

Rising Stars, Book 1 Born In Fire by J. Michael StraczynskiBorn in Fire (Born In trilogy #1)  by Nora Roberts which I thought was good. It is a romance if you are not averse to that genre.

Thanks, I had saw that, and while I like some of her romance novels, that one didn't appeal to me.

Thank you, I just wanted to be super sure they'll work.

The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman uses the same picture too and it's a nice-ish book, good if you like Alice Hofman.

Thanks, not sure i've ever read Alice Hoffman...may look into it..the weird thing about the two I mentioned is that the first sentance of the description was almost the same...similar covers, similar books...not sure if that's good or bad! thanks for the suggestion though, i'll check that one out too.

Alice (aliceg) | 424 comments I know that Cynthia had answered a question on subtitiles but I can't find it now! Sorry Cynthia for asking something you have already answered but how does it work for subtitles? For example I would quite like to use these two: Trespass: A Novel and Trespass. If you look at the front cover of the first one it's just got Trespass in the middle of it as it's title and then A Novel is written in the top right hand cover.
