Loving the story, though, too.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm still working on getting us a signing.

I look forward to buying my own signed copy and placing it on the Shelf o' Friends.<br /><br />I'm drawing a blank on YA covers I especially like. I'm more inclined to skip books based on covers that I don't like. I do, however, enjoy the artwork on old Sci-fi paperbacks.Kurt Hampehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09657898257154324404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-79456345990866026772011-11-10T11:14:50.946-05:002011-11-10T11:14:50.946-05:00You're right.

I guess I can't really beat the covers for the Harry Potter books.

I actually enjoyed Matched, and the cover had that pretty glowing quality, I love that. <br /><br />I'll have to look up Exiled, and I've seen the Shifter, but I don't remember, I've heard it's a great book, though (I haven't read as much MG since I stopped teaching it, which is a shame, I do love a good MG).bethany griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837470719905329431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-58829856346317048732011-11-06T16:16:42.367-05:002011-11-06T16:16:42.367-05:00These covers are stunning!

However, there is one cover I am floored by and I have NO.IDEA.WHY. Honestly, it makes no sense. I have not read the book, have heard mixed reviews about it, but every time I saw it, it just did something to me. So, about a week ago, I was in Sam's club and FINALLY allowed myself to purchase it. I have never bought a book just for it's cover, but alas, it has happened. It's the cover for the book Matched that I'm in love with. The only thing I'm upset about is that I bought it in a soft cover and somehow I think it looks even more gorgeous on the hard cover. I've apparently got issues. But there you have it. My favorite cover. :DMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03696084321447737813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-3433663036848133852011-11-06T14:57:59.707-05:002011-11-06T14:57:59.707-05:00Love your cover.

Yours is stunning! Other favorites on my bookshelf are Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shecter which is rich and exotic, and Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly which looks dangerous and intriguing with the older portrait flipped upside down, beside the current-day face.Kristin Lenzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257484196449105801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133203161912010188.post-57133767212615111102011-11-06T13:35:39.505-05:002011-11-06T13:35:39.505-05:00LOVE your cover Bethany!
