Top Ten Tuesday is a Meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
Yes, there is the old and overused saying: Don't judge a book by its cover. But we all do it. A lot if we're honest. Sometimes I find a book I love so much and am greatly saddened that its cover does not reflect its amazing inside. Here are some of those.
The hardcover (left) was bad, but I felt they went and made it even worse with the paperback redo. This is one of my favorite books and the cover does nothing to capture the story.
This is a wonderful story, and I feel like the cover does not come close to realizing the brilliance of the contents. The other two covers for LaZebnik's Austen retellings are cute and at least a little intriguing. This one is so boring.
This trilogy is epic. The covers are anything but.
No, I'm not a big fan of girl in central object cover. Could you tell? (Read this book though because it is awesome.)
I thought this book was a western the first time I saw it. (It's not. Not even in the neighborhood.)
This book has other covers, but really I'm not happy with any of them. This one is the one that gets to me the most though and is unfortunately the one I own. It is one of my all time favorite books and I want a better cover.
To be honest, I forgot about this one until this morning when I got on the Broke and Bookish site and saw they had included it, but it needs to be included. This looks like a steamy romance novel, and that is not at all what this book is. And I think it does what it really is about a disservice.
