Top Ten Book Covers I’d Frame As Pieces of Art
(TTT is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish)
+ Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
I don’t like the second cover quite as much as the first and last but this series has beautiful covers. I love how shimmery they are.
+ The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness
When I first saw this cover I wish I hadn’t bought the book right when it came out. Even though I also love the cover of the UK edition this one is sooo pretty. I’m sure I will get a copy of this someday.
+ Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma
I think I saw multiple shots like these and I love these kind of pictures. One of the very few covers with a person on it that I like.
+ Rooms by Lauren Oliver
So simple but still awesome. That’s my favorite kind of cover.
+ Vicious by V.E. Schwab
I love that this one actually looks kinda like the cover of a comic and therefore fits this story about characters with powers so well.
+ Unwrapped Sky by Rjurik Davidson
If only the story would have been as magical and wonderful as this cover makes it look like. I love that it is all blue and the transition from water into the city.
+ Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Simple but perfect for a SciFi book and still my favorite cover in the series. They couldn’t have found a better way to represent the story.
+ A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
I love Jim Kay’s drawings! I would actually pin all the drawings from this book on my wall.
+ Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys
It’s green, it has a girl on a cover but only in the background and is just overall pretty.
+ Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews
Illustrated covers are the best ones and I love this one a lot.
I actually thought about framing some of my favorite covers. I wish there were more really pretty covers like these though. It wasn’t hard to only list ten books. A had a few more in mind but not a lot.
Which book covers would you frame as art?

I like the covers of Imaginary Girls, Out of the Easy, and A Monster Calls… especially A Monster Calls :3 I like book covers that have drawings.. makes me want to stare at it all day and learn how to make something like it..

I got a little “sofa” for my favourite covers recently, so I can display at least some of those beautiful covers. :D Cinder’s on there, too; the rest of them are Charm and Strange, Two Boys Kissing, Blood Red Road (the one with the raven), The Ask and the Answer and The Raven Boys. I just wish publisher would provide prints or something. Some covers really deserve it.

Pictures??? :D
I would definitely buy prints of covers!

Only when it’s finished. :D It was advertising material from a publishing house, but the store I work at would have thrown it away, so I was allowed to take it with me. I just didn’t find the time, yet, to cover all the publisher’s logos and stuff. So, as soon as that’s finally done, I’m totally going to brag about my sofa. xD

Great list! A Monster Calls is on my list, too! I love the artwork in that book. I really like the cover for Me and Earl and the Dying Girl as well. I haven’t read it, but I would totally frame that cover.

I love the covers from Cinder. I think Cress is my favorite one so far and I can’t wait to see Winter :D I bet it’s going to feature an apple in some way. I like the pop-up effect from Me and earl and the dying girl.

I can’t wait to see what they come up with for Winter. I bet you’re right with the apple!

WOO! You’ve got some awesome choices!!! In my opinion, the UK version of Daughter of Smoke and Bone (which is what I just started reading today, yay!) is SO much cooler than the US cover! The US just looks too grungy and…I don’t know… I like the UK’s simple feathers and pretty font! Also, YAY, Imaginary Girls! (You’re right, it totally would look good in my bathroom!) Unwrapped Sky has a beautiful cover! Oh my! And A Monster Calls looks awesome and ominous!

I never liked the US cover of DoSaB because I thought it’s weird that she is wearing a turquoise mask instead of having turquoise hair^^And non of the US covers can compete with the pretty and shimmery UK cover of the last book. That’s definitely my favorite. I could look at it all day long.

Von den 10 Covern ist “Unwrapped Sky” mein absoluter Favorit, sowohl farblich als auch vom Motiv.
“A Monster Calls” ist aber auch super, das sollte ich endlich mal lesen… :D

Mich ärgert dass immer noch dass mir Unwrapped Sky nicht so gefallen hat. Hatte die tolle Ausgabe schon vorbestellt und dann nach beenden des eBooks doch wieder abbestellt :D
DU HAST DAS NOCH NICHT GELESEN??? Na dann mal los!
