This week's question asks:
Worst cover? What is the worst cover a book that you've read and loved?
Welllll, it's not really a bad cover, it's just really kinda plain and generic ~ not saying much about the content of the book. It's actually a trilogy, but I'll go with book one ~ Torn by Amanda Hocking. I read this book back when she was still unknown, promoting her book for a whopping $0.99 on Amazon. I think the fact that it was under a buck caught my eye first, then the synopsis, then the ratings ~ one thing's for sure...it wasn't the cover.
Comparison ~ Then & Now
I loved this series ~ it prompted me to read the rest of Amanda's books, creating an avid fan. The new cover rocks, too. If you haven't read it, what the heck are you waiting for?

Yeah, I'm with you. I don't mind this cover but it certainly doesn't give you any inkling of what the book might be about. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Happy Friday! :D
ReplyDeleteI kinda liked all of Amanda Hockings original covers. The new ones are better, BUT i respect her because she did all of them herself.

I haven't read this series yet, I probably should, seeing as it's about Faerie and all!
ReplyDeleteThe new cover is certainly better than the first!
Thanks for stopping by!
I still have to read this series but I'm definitely looking forward to it! I definitely like the updated cover better. I've heard amazing things about Amanda's novels. I really want to pick up a copy of Wake. :)
