Monday's Question of the Day is hosted by Eleni at /-LA FEMME READERS-/
Question: What's a great book you love, but don't like the cover of?
My Answer: Usually, there will be an edition of a book that I love that has a decent cover. An example:
Fire and Hemlock
Pretty UK cover that makes sense!
versus
Fugly US cover that makes no sense!
Who the heck is that old dude?

For some truly heinous covers, I suggest checking out Judge a Book by its Cover. They've found some doozies!
Oh yeah, I totally agree - that second cover is terrible. I do love Diana Wynne Jones, though. Haven't read this one. :-(
ReplyDeleteI agree, the US version is fugly, but the UK one is decent.
ReplyDeleteOooo good call.
ReplyDeleteThe first that comes to my mind is Hunger Games. I love the book but the cover is just blah.
Totally agree, that US cover is extremely fugly. Great link too. Who knew book covers could be so hilarious?!
