More Book Covers

I would have read Annie Proulx's Bad Dirt regardless of the cover. But, it's such a fitting cover since it's the third in her Wyoming Stories series. Believe me, that picture could have been taken numerous places around the state.

China Road is in part about the changing Chinese economy and society. This cover gives an accurate view of what the book is about and piqued my interest.

I picked up Maisie Dobbs because of its very cool cover. Luckily, the story was as great as the cover.

How could you not pick this book up?

Cool Covers

I have to admit it. Books with cool covers will definitely get a second look from me.

Here are some I like:


The mountains really do look like that!

Jesus horses! Do you remember that Weekend Update on SNL?

I haven't read this one, or even gotten it, but I added it to my TBR list after being attracted to the cover. (I liked the blurb of the story too.)

What a cool looking building.

More accurate depictions of mountains.


Penguins!!

Using famous paintings.
