Cover Critique - Study series

I haven't seen a series that has more covers than this one ! 

On top, are the paperback ones I own. These two books are fantastic ! 

The only problem I have is the third one, and a huge one at that.

(Read my review of Poison Study and my opinion on all three books)


Hardcover Edition

I don't know what to think of these... It's just not my style.
For some reason they haven't printed the third book.
Which adds up to my theory of the book being painful.

And finally, there are these other editions.
There are far too many editions for me to keep track of !!
I don't know about you all, but I'm LOVING these !
I'd actually consider purchasing them again if it came to it.
And since my third book is on Kindle, I might.

What do you prefer? 

Cover Critique - New Twilight Series Cover !

Ahhh, the series that started this all.

I bought the boxed set, frankly I don't see the difference between these 

and buying hardcover editions separately.

It only had large poster of sort of the 4 cover arts. 

These are the Mass Market Paperback. 

There are some other versions but I like these the best.

Personally, I don't look twice at book covers with movie posters.

I don't know, it's not exciting enough. 

And today, when I was browsing through "The Book Depository"

I stumbled on to this !!! 

How cool is this ?

Apparently, these will be published this month!! 

Specifically the 14th Octobre 2010 ! 

The only difference is the colour and I don't think 

it is wise to spend money on something like that. 

But, damn! I want my hand on those !! 

Cover Critique - Goose Girl

I'm ready again to read something old and magical. 

And I knew what I had to read when I felt that way. 

This is a retelling story of Grim's fairy tale and I'm very excited about it.

I own the book on top, which is a hardcover version.

I love it very much. 

It captures the essence of what the book should be. 

 Paperback cover is also very sweet but I don't think 

it would've caught my eyes on a bookshelf. 

Cover Critique - Millennium series

The series I've been looking forward to ! 

I still don't know much about this book, but the title alone

made me want to read it ! 

I got the first and the second one for last Christmas. (UK version)

And I've been waiting to buy the third one to start reading. 

The top three covers are the US version 

and the ones below is the UK version, which I own.

And I LOVE my UK version !!

Can't wait to read the book and also to watch the movie ! 

(heard a lot of good stuff about that movie too)

Cover Critique - To Kill A Mockingbird

I didn't much love this book.

I read it when I was in high school, and it was compulsory. 

And you know how it gets, when people forces you to read something, 

it better be real good, but I felt just a little bitter while reading this one.

The top one is the one I have. 

And recently they have printed the 50th anniversary edition. 

But I realized, a few days ago that they printed another one of those. 

It looked like it has been painted or animated. (one on the left)

Maybe it's because I've had my version of the book for so long,

but both of these special editions didn't look quite right. 

They look so ... new and modern while the book itself is 50 years old ! 

Am I being too harsh? Does anybody else prefer these new ones? 

 

Cover Critique - If I stay

This book has been on my TBR shelf for a while now. 

I got an email from my current bookstore few days back that 

the paperback version was finally in stock ! 

I immediately started reading this book,

(although I had loads to do, preparing for my vacation)

I'm only on page 41/259 but I am SO hooked ! 

I didn't expect myself to even like this book. 

I thought it was going to be another one of those chick-lit, which it is, 

but in so much more depth and emotion.

You can expect my review in a day or two. 

and this is the paperback version.

It is not what I expected at all !

Although I'm not that much into a portrait of a beautiful girl's face on a book cover,

I am loving this one ! I think it's quite beautiful. 

And more related to the theme of the story.

What do you guys think? ^_^

Cover Critique - Prophecy of the Sisters

I bought this book when I stumbled into Borders on my Christmas vacation.
Out of all the books that were displayed, this cover caught my eyes.
It looked dark, meaningful and and delicious.
Even the review on the back cover was very intriguing.
I've just found out that the second book was released so I visited Amazon to check it out. Then I found out that the book cover has changed into this !!

Well, let me just say this. I'm not impressed.
I was so looking forward to the book cover of the second book of this series !
I didn't expect for it to change into something so... ordinary.
A girl or two looking beautiful on a book cover, this is hardly the first time.
Ah, well, I guess I have no choice in this.
Since the second book is released, I should get started on this book. =) very excited still!
Oh, and the second book looks like this.

Cover Critique - Incarceron

Ahhhhhh, the best book I've read this year and maybe for a while.
I've checked the websites and found out that there's only two books to the series. The upper ones are the covers of a UK version which was published in 2007 and 2008. The first book of Incarceron was published in the US earlier this year and the second one is to be published this Decembre.

I was so torn, as much as I loved the US version, and so much more in tuned btw, I cannot wait to see what happens in the second book !
The UK version is a bit too cheery and light, something that this book is not.
I will write my review of this book shortly but I had to talk about how great the cover of the US version is ! It fits the story perfectly. I LOVE it !!

Cover Critique - Cover art change in 'Percy Jackson' series.

I went to the book store today, and on my favorite shelf saw series of books that were really flashy. It wasn't easy reading the title because everything was so... shiny!

But I realized that it was the 'Percy Jackson' series! I own the original paperback ones. Just one through three, but it didn't look like that.
I couldn't help but be a little disappointed. I really liked the old version.
But the more I look at it, it seems more fit somehow.... hmmmm.....
