About the front: Wow. I’m cold. I’m shivering and I’m desperate to get warm while looking at this cover. Yes, those are the feelings I immediately get. The blues, purples and even shades of white are what do it. There’s no ‘sign of life’ yet, …

There is more than just a Read Or Not post behind this blog entry today and I encourage you to take a moment to support Bridget Zinn, who at 33 lost her life to cancer while also having her first book published by Disney. About …
If you saw it, would you read it? About the front: There’s something compelling about this cover. It drew my eye because of the cartoon-like design but also the standing Gargoyles, or I presume that’s what they are. There’s an air of tension right …
About the front: When I first saw this cover, I thought it looked like a painting of a ghost under the sign of a cemetery. The girl doesn’t look real to me … yes, I see that she’s more than a ghost, but that’s how …
About the front: Teal. Yep. It’s the teal that caught my eye, and I have to admit, it’s really the only thing going for this cover for me. I’m not enthralled with the girl and when I read the title, I think fire for some …
About the front: I saw this cover on a friend’s blog and went, OMG, that butterfly is both a tattoo and coming off that guy’s arm. Then I had to study it because it’s just … so … cool. I mean, look at it! The …
About the front: Sci-fi anyone? Oddly enough, the font of the title caught my attention on this one. Weirdly, this doesn’t seem to be the only cover for this book but this is definitely the one that keeps my attention. So, that said, let me …
About the front: I saw this cover on someone else’s blog and thought it was so cool. I’m guessing sci-fi based on the imagery, but the red, the yellows and the overall design just really caught my eye. The symboly-thing up there is a big …
About the front: When I first saw this cover, I had to click to see more. Not because it contains my favorite colors of all (raspberry) or the pretty girl, but because of the piano. Being a pianist myself and having played since I was …
About the front: The light blue of the dress is the element in the cover that caught my attention. And her pose. I thought … ‘that girl is in a pretty dress, sitting in corner with her knees up,’ and then, I asked a better …
About the front: When I first saw this cover, I figured it was going to be scary. I mean, an empty slide? So many thoughts passed through my head. A missing child. A playground with a ghost. It’s just creepy on so many levels and …
About the front: Talk about elaborate. That’s what caught my eye. Well, that and the red. Red on silver. What does that mean? Blood and metal? Pain and jail? There are so many possibilities with this which is yet another thing that makes me take …
About the front: The fading girl is what caught my eye on this cover. I see her hair, her shoulders, and she fades into the trees and water. So is she dead? Is she a ghost? I can’t tell. I want more detail in that …

About the front: Big Ben. A sword. The blue of night. I’m sure it’s the colors that draw me in to what, on the surface, looks like something in the fantasy realm. I’m not big on fantasy, but I have to say this cover totally …
About the front: On the cover it says, “A gorgeous, haunting saga.” I say that depicts this cover, too. I LOVE this cover. The teals and blues are my favorites. Not seeing the woman’s face or full body profile and the wisps of the flowing …
About the front: Sci/Fi? At first glance, that’s what this book says. I love the yellows and blues and green. I love the huge ‘rock’ hovering over the city, the birds taking flight, the empty road. There are so many possibilities in this cover. It …
About the front: A drowning girl. Yup. That’s what I see. She’s falling and with the blue of the water, I can feel the cold. It almost hurts to watch as I can imagine she’s just falling and falling and falling and falling and … …
