blog #12 - covers

Most people say "don't judge a book by its cover" but we all do, including me. I prefer very simple covers, like very simple. The book could be completely white with a crayon on the cover and I would probably pick it up. Plain backgrounds with very few objects on them are my favorite covers because they look nice on my shelves and they don't give away any of the book. All of the details and cool stuff should be inside the book, not on the cover.

Covers I like

I have absolutely no idea what these books are about, however I want to read them. The covers are so simple and amazing.

I like a lot of book covers but I dislike even more. If there is a physical actual person on the book cover, no. The purpose of a book is to visualize the characters yourself. The book cover maker should not choose those visualizations for you. My number one pet peeve is when there is people making out on the cover. I don't want to see that in real life let alone carry around a book with it on the cover. 

These book covers are a no from me...
