The County Library discussion

I love a great book cover almost as much as I love a great book. Here is one I discovered in delivery this morning. Although you really have to see the actual book to fully appreciate the cover. It has dimension that you lose in a picture.

Great idea! Here's one of my favorites- a book that I like more the further I get from it. The cover evokes exactly the same response as the story, by making you both afraid to look and unable to look away.

I have to agree with Jen- I don't usually like horror stories, but this one is just soooo good! It is a Printz Honor Book, but it gets overlooked, I think. It's a good read for teens and adults- reminds me of classic horror stories like Frankenstein, etc.- written in an "old-fashioned" style.

Got to say the cover of is really nice.

Yes, that is a great cover. In my next life I want to design book covers--and I have no artistic talent in this life, so we will see how that works out!

One of my favorite knitting book covers is . It reminds me of a romance cover.

Jan, how do you link the picture to your post?

I totally agree with Ghostgirl

Susan- you can add a book cover by clicking the "add book/author" link that is directly above the comment box. It links up the cover and the book's page automatically.

Thanks that is good to know. I really like the cover for the children's book Lincoln and His Boys by Rosemary Wells.

In a totally different direction, . How could I not love a book cover with books and cats. Just needs a dog and it would be perfect.

I just came across this one. So Pretty!

Yes- I love that one! So creepy!

This cover is a winner. Mysterious and definite shades of Indiana Jones. Warrior by Zoe Archer

I love the covers (and the content!) of this series:


The cover of If I Stay really conveys the fragility of the situation of a girl deciding whether to wake up from a coma into a brutal, heartbreaking life. And the girl on the cover of the second one actually looks just like she did in my head. Great books!

I love this cover too

My favorite book cover in a long time.
