Cover Crazy #39

Cover Crazy was created by The Bookworms but is now hosted here at Turning the Pages. It's a great way to share a book cover that took your breath away!

To me, there is NOTHING better than a cover of a book. One of my favourite places, in the world, is a book store. I can walk around them for hours just looking at covers of books. I am well aware of the saying "You can't judge a book by its cover", I just don't believe it!

When I find a book cover that I love, I will always read the back and then make my purchasing decision, but... WOW... there is just something amazing about a gorgeous cover! So, moving forward, I am going to share those covers that just made me want to escape and read a book instantly!

Without further adieu, here is the cover I am crazy about this week:

The Hunt by Andrew Fukuda

What I love about this cover:

I love that I have NO IDEA what the story is about... doesn't that sound weird? 

The pop of colour in the center of the page looking like it is breaking through the outer shell is so engaging.  I find myself drawn to it and know that I would be picking it up off the shelves without hesitation.

Also, I love the subtle details in this cover.  At first, I didn't even notice the people running, what is likely for thier lives, at the very bottom but added to the overall look, it just draws me in even more.

In all, this is a simple cover with so much going for it and I can only hope that the story within is as intense.

What cover took your breath away this week?

  2. I like this cover. It has a lot going on. You really have to study it for sometime to not miss something. I hope the book as is exciting as this cover.
