Whenever I pass the trio of OR Melling's books in the library (Hunter's Moon, Summer King, and... something else) I have to be like "Ok, Medeia, you've tried this before. They are COMPLETELY BORING." and then that other part of me goes "but the covers are so shiiiiiny" It would be amazing if all awesome books had awesome covers and vice versa. *sigh* 'twould make picking books so much easier.

It just makes me laugh. We'll miss you while you are having your break! But we will be reading! I'm all geared up for Violet In Private's release, the first two were amazing. We need to launch some sort of campaign for a book #4! I just want to know what “designer” thought that cover looked good! It just makes me laugh.

Everyone says they don't do it, but we all totally do. And, sadly, miss out on some awesome books because of lame covers. The only reason I've read anything by Kai Meyer (who is awesome and an amazing author of fexcellent books) is because I read them when they first came out with awesome covers, and not the newer covers, which I hate. (Seriously, why couldn't they stick with the first designs?) And then there's books I totally avoid because of the covers until someone reccomends them...like Golden, which I'd assumed was some kind of GossipClique affiliate. One of these days I think I'll figure out those people always talking about judging are right. Ah, the judge-a-book-by-it’s-cover syndrome. Everyone says they don’t do it, but we all totally do.
