I also am a fan of the eye covers for Shatter Me, however haven't read the book yet so may feel differently afterwards. I agree with the rest of the re-designs though, some of them need some major changes!<br /><br />Sanna @ Fanciful Fictions Sannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069707612703526276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-62159933440158843702013-11-13T00:51:05.031-06:002013-11-13T00:51:05.031-06:00I so agree about the covers for TTEN and ITSB.

Lots of books are really good but their covers may sometimes look like they were taken with any old camera and then just put onto a random background. I'm okay with the Daughter of Smoke and Bone cover, though now that you pointed out the flaw, I see it. At least it matches the second book!!! Hate it when they change the covers mid series. I LOVE the covers (and book itself ;D ) for The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, Fangirl, The Fault in Our Stars, Days of Blood and Starlight, the Divergent Trilogy, the Razorland Trilogy, the Legend Trilogy, basically all of Sarah Dessen's book, and MANY MANY MORE. I'm a harsh judge on book covers and if they don't appeal to me then I won't read it. In rare cases I'll read the blurb on the back of the book cover and if it interests me I'll read it, despite the cover. I guess that's why I miss out on so many good books….Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312300757211377553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271446653985249536.post-88881259700642789712013-11-12T18:48:22.394-06:002013-11-12T18:48:22.394-06:00Beth Revis has had such bad cover look.

I actually think the third try is the best of the three (and the first, romancey try, the worst) because it will appeal to guys as well as girls. Oh, the FINS books! The thing that bothers me about this one is how her body must be contorted to get her tail that close to her face. LOL! I actually like all of Brodi's covers; the dress doesn't bother me, although the swirling factor does look odd here compared to the other two. For DOSAB, I really like the second and third covers the best! Yes, I don't like Aprilynne or Veronica's covers so much (Although I DID buy THROUGH THE EVER NIGHT for $1.99 on my nook yday, whoot!) I like the second SHATTER ME cover better b/c, yes, dress syndrome. Were eyes overdone before her books? I feel like I see more lately! And pretty covers, ooh! WITHER is a favorite of mine, too. I'm also a fan of MARA DYER. DARE YOU TO reminds me of the sexy rain covers for Simone Elkeles' demographic. I liked the first MATCHED cover the best. SHAD AND BONE, *yes* What is that DUCT TAPE book?
