Cover Crazy #45

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 Taste of Salt by Martha Southgate

What I love about this cover:

Oddly enough, when I first saw the cover of this book I thought about how well it would fit into the image I have of my bathroom... weird, right? 

I love beachy colours!  Those soft and simple feelings that come from beach glass and sand can instantly take me away to a restful place.  I close my eyes and can hear the waves crashing and feel the sun on my face.  When a book cover can do this for you just based on colour choice, you know you have a winner.

Another thing that appealed to me was the simple use of font and words.  There was no need to over-do the cover with swirls and curly-cues as it would have taken away from the simplicity that the colours add.

It's really a swoon-worthy cover!
