One of the things I love about GoodReads is that little thingy on the bottom right of the Message fields that says "add book/author". You click on it and it has tabs for book and author, and you can either post the title or the cover of the book, or the name or photo of the author. Click Add! Easy, done.

So, I know you love Poison Study (Study, Book 1) by Maria V. Snyder Magic Study (Study, Book 2) by Maria V. Snyder Fire Study (Study, Book 3) by Maria V. Snyder & Maria V. Snyder.

Right now I am also really digging Pretty Monsters: Stories by Kelly Link [image error] & The Willoughbys by Lois Lowry .

Not to mention Frankenstein Takes the Cake by Adam Rex .

What are your favorite book covers of the moment?

This cover on Tanya Huff's 'Wizard of the Grove' is beautiful:
Wizard of the Grove (Daw Book Collectors) by Tanya Huff

and Jo Chen's artwork on Buffy Season 8 and The Runaways (which you can't see because they are comics darnit).

OH! This lovely cover of Star Trek's 'Before Dishonor':

Drew | 12 comments Oh, this one got me good... The Secret Hour (Midnighters, Book 1) by Scott Westerfeld

Much better than the original look... The Secret Hour (Midnighters, Book 1) by Scott Westerfeld

And some of my childhood favorites:

Where the Wild Things Are: In the Night Kitchen,Outside Over There, Nutshell Library,Sign on Rosie's Door, Very Far Away by Maurice Sendak This one blew my mind.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (paper-over-board) (Narnia) by C.S. Lewis I hadn't even read it and I wanted to be in it.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Need I say more?

'Adult' books:

My Antonia by Willa Cather Don't know why.

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner It just looked cool.

Light in August by William Faulkner Looked equally cool.

The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven Gideon the Cutpurse (The Gideon Trilogy: Book One) by Linda Buckley-Archer Great covers, disappointing reads.

The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen Kind of mysterious... made me want to walk though a secret garden.

I saw these last week:

Universe of Stone: A Biography of Chartres Cathedral by Philip Ball A Universe of Stone

And I do like the new John Green designs

Amelia (ameliarobinson) | 8 comments When I saw this, I knew immediately who I was going to put up. Well, the book covers I would put up.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITES (they aren't fantasy though. My apologies for that.)

Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen Lock and Key by Sarah Dessen Just Listen by Sarah Dessen Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

I absolutely ADORE the covers for the Sarah Dessen novels.

Another thing. I really envy the UK covers for almost everything I've ever seen.

Oh, and my friend got me onto Looking for Alaska. She's crazy about that book. It was a pretty good cover.

I actually really like the Twilight series covers.

Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl, Book 3) by Eoin Colfer
Love that one, too.

Kristen,
At the bottom of the drop down when you type in a title, there's an option for either 'link' or 'cover'. The default is 'link,' so just select cover before you add.
