TTT (14) - COVERS

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week the theme is a freebie as long as it includes covers. Their post is about covers that depict food and drink and can be found here.

I've been blog hopping for about an hour now (instead of writing or doing any of the other chores I should be doing today) in an attempt to find an idea for today's theme. Something original. Something exciting. Isn't 'covers I love' a bit boring? But that's what I'm coming back to: covers I love.

So without further ado I present you books that I picked up because of the cover and not because of the author or blurb.
  
I'm starting to think that there's probably a slight colour preference visible in my choices and that it's obvious I like both blue and purple. I've seen that Annette Marie's sequels in the Red Winter Trilogy are out, so I'll have to pick those up.

Wintersong by S. Jae-Jones I haven't read yet but the cover is simply gorgeous. Claire North's Harry August has a very intriguing cover as well with the mirrored images.

I haven't yet read anything by Laini Taylor but I keep hearing that her books are filled with wonderful prose and I'm very curious to read one.

Also Tom Toner uploaded the three covers of his series next to each other to Twitter the other day and I can't find any information about book 3 yet and Goodreads doesn't even have it listed. But they all look gorgeous.
I was so annoyed when I found out that the first book and the second book hadn't been printed in the same format though, so they don't match. Is anyone else bothered when books in a series don't match on the shelf?

I hope everyone is having a great week! Link me to your lists! I'm a sucker for covers!

  1. It's alright, I went back to basics too- I did my favourite blue covers. But then again, I prefer blue and purple covers anyway, and there are only a few colourful book covers I love.

  2. I'm really digging the cover for On the Edge of Gone. Those blues are amazing.

  5. Yep, I'd definitely say you have a thing for blue. :) I love the cover of Wintersong. It's so not like what I typically read but the synopsis grabbed me and I currently have it on hold at the library.

  6. Wintersong is one of my fave covers lately. I still need to read it though. That cover on Red Winter is pretty... I'm going yo check this book out now.
