Best of 2011: Book Covers


Top 10: A Week of Looking Back….
………and Looking Forward.
Welcome to the Top 10 of 2011, hosted by Confessions of a Bookaholic, A Life Bound by Books,fiktshun,Two Chicks on Books. I am very excited to participate in this weeklong event to share my Best Covers of 2011 List! And may I say there were a lot of favorites in 2011 this year, lots of lovely book covers so this list was not easy. But I have decided to split my list between YA and Adult book covers.




+ACROSS THE UNIVERSE BY BETH REVIS+ This cover I absolutely love. I love that they were able to show the theme in space really well and the glittery pink and Amy and Elder are.....It is just PERFECTION!
+SHATTER ME BY TAHEREH MAFI+ Even When I first saw this cover it made me want the book even more and I just loved what they did with it and I believe it was hard to made an amazing cover to go with an amazing book, but they did it!
+ACROSS THE UNIVERSE BY BETH REVIS+ When I first layed my eyes on this cover I couldn't stop staring. I just love the purple and it seemed mystifying in a way and plus it's a mythology book!
+THE PLEDGE BY KIMBERLY DERTING+ When I first saw the cover I NEEDED to read this book! I mean look at it! It had an air of mystery to me, but I loved that it was a black and white cover and it stood out soooo much! So lovely!
+WITHER BY LAUREN DESTEFANO+ The dress and the way the model looks and also may I mention the circle pattern in the cover. Oh, my lord...Need I say more?! Wither is one my all time favorite covers EVER!

+DARK DESCENDANT BY JENNA BLACK+ To be honest, it took just one look, one glance and I NEEDED this book in my hands! I love all of the blue and the bass ass chick on the cover! It screamed GRAB ME! I can never get enough of the cover!
+HARD BITTEN BY CHLOE NEILL+ Apparently the cut off head look is really working for the Chicagoland Vampire Books lately! But Oh, my lord! When I first gazed upon this cover I wanted to plaster it all over my wall! AMAZING!
+BLOOD BOUND BY RACHEL VINCENT+ Purple really seems to be in this year, yes? I won't say much, but the colors are amazing, I love the cute design patterns on the cover and everything!! They did great with this cover!
+KINDLING THE MOON BY JENN BENNETT+ I am really loving these blue covers! Blue seems to stand out a lot for me, But oh, my lord again!! Again, I say the cut off head look is working for these Urban Fantasy covers big time! AWESOME COVER!
+SHADES OF GRAY BY AMANDA BONILLA+ Cool warm covers, and bad ass chick with a sword....Works for me! I was very drawn to this cover. All I know is I love looking at it!

    One of the things I love about this event is finding out what books each of you guys have loved in 2011, another part is finding new books, which your post did just for me. So, thanks!
