Favorite Covers: May 2012

Here are some of my favorite covers for May 2012: The Really Late Edition

Bitterblue In Honor A Confusion of Princes

Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore
Bitterblue! I might be putting this up here even if I didn't like the cover, I waited so long for this book to hit the shelves. But being blinded by love isn't an issue. At least, I don't think that it is. Because the cover looks great, doesn't it? It matches the rest of the series perfectly which, let's face it, is a feat in and of itself lately - especially when it's been so long between books. I love the blue. And I love the keys and that each is different in design and color.

In Honor by Jessi Kirby
You know what I love about this cover? Every single thing in it is relevant to the story. The Impala, the sundress + red boots, the dog tag hanging from her wrist, the scenery. One can look at this book's cover and get an accurate vibe for what its contents are. If only more book covers accurately depicted the story inside of them! Yeah?

A Confusion of Princes by Garth Nix
It has swirly green stuffs. And a guy on the cover. Not a girl. Yeah, they're probably marketing this book to boys, but still! This cover is a great example of a sci-fi/fantasy cover that is sleek and modern-looking. And it's got Garth Nix's name on it, which pretty much makes it an automatic win.

Do you also like any of these covers, or am I alone in this? There are a lot of books with gorgeous covers this month. Are there any that you're tempted to buy for the cover alone? What new little works of art will you be picking up for your shelves this month? Let me know in the comments!

  1. I love that Bitterblue cover! I haven't even read Fire yet, but I had to have Bitterblue on my shelf. :) I also adore the In Honor cover...that picture could've been taken right out my back door! Plus, I have a thing for sundresses and cowboy boots. :P

    1. I liked Fire even better than Graceling, though I think that most people are the other way around.

    1. Garth Nix is awesome. If you haven't read his Abhorsen series then you should check that one out as well!
