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:
I am doing something a little different this week... it will come as no surprise to anyone who knows me that I judge LOTS of books on their covers and it seems to be a new thing for authors to re-release books with new covers. Now, I generally hate when this happens because it messes up a series if you are a cover lover like me but in some instances, the covers really make a difference in the speed of it's journey up the TBR list...
Denise Grover Swank's Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes is a prime example of a book who's NEW cover made a world of difference to me.
Original Cover: New Cover:
Now, I am not saying that the original cover was bad but I am in love with the new cover! The pink and red SCREAM chick lit to me and it makes me want to read it so much more. Well done, Denise! You did very well with your new covers for the Rose Gardner mysteries!
Which series do you feel has changed their covers for the better?
I definitely like the new cover as well! Sarah Dessen's books all just got new covers. I'm partial to the previous ones but I enjoy the eye popping colour of the new ones. Always interesting to see new covers - or covers from other countries! Like Catherine McKenzie's books - they're different in the US than up here.
