I really hate for my book to have an ugly cover, one that I really don't like. They say never judge a book by it's cover, but I so do.

Yes, the dress is definitely overdone and a little boring - I did love The Winner's Curse cover though, I thought it was beautiful.

I mean, I notice them and there are some books (the shirtless guy covers) that I would probably be embarrassed to be seen reading so that's yet another reason to love my Kindle. The only time I think about the covers is when I'm reading blogs or if I buy the physical printed book. ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-10034826454325757242014-05-02T23:22:18.016+01:002014-05-02T23:22:18.016+01:00Awesome meme, I'll have to do it next Thursday...Awesome meme, I'll have to do it next Thursday! :D I felt the same way about Epic, it was an okay movie but as great as Frozen.Obsessedwithfairytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06990949946610004314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-45207523350822042102014-05-02T22:15:22.706+01:002014-05-02T22:15:22.706+01:00I am very excited for the cover FFF coming up.

I didn't really know last time I looked, it just said Colour Edition. <br /><br />It's definitely not the greatest kids film, I enjoyed it but I wont really be recommending it to others - unless you are stuck indoors, doing washing and need entertaining for 90 minutes.

I didn't need it to be good, I just needed it to entertain me whilst I did washing. That probably explains why I forgave all it's problems and the ending. It was no Frozen.<br /><br />I think the shirtless guys covers are lame too. And the girls ones. And the guy and girl ones. NO MORE HALF-NAKED PEOPLE.

There's a...Totally agree on the shirtless men. There's a proper time and place and everything! I also don't care for kissing and embracing on the covers. Basically, I don't want to be embarrassed carrying a book around.<br /><br />The "girl in a pretty, flowy dress" that is on so many YA covers is overdone. <br /><br />I generally prefer covers with something other than people on them. One exception are Laini Taylor's books, which are gorgeous. <br /><br />I can't think of a single instance where I've liked a movie tie-on cover better than the original!<br /><br />Stephanie @ <a href="http://inspiringinsomnia.com" rel="nofollow">Inspiring Insomnia</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532824873675624385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-20021988659715938122014-05-01T13:56:49.379+01:002014-05-01T13:56:49.379+01:00I have to agree on the covers, I don't like bu...I have to agree on the covers, I don't like busy, or half naked men on my cover, like please, put a shirt on, you're not that hot. I also don't like overly huge faces but I have come to not mind people on my cover as long as they play a part to the story or portray the character well. Excited for the next book cover based FFF though! I've heard of Epic, but never watched it, and I don't think I will; I'm picky over y childrens films and they have to be something I can honestly fall in love with and I don't think I could with Epic which is a shame. Great review though! Also can't wait until my film reviews start coming out, I'll definitely be linking back to you!Amanda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357839391966441808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-39784313511068738832014-05-01T12:01:07.431+01:002014-05-01T12:01:07.431+01:00I love simple covers too!

I'm not such a fan of faces, because...weeeell I like to imagine people how I WANT to not how the designer does. lol I'm so lovely and obstinate like that. ;) I think the whole half-naked-guys-and-girls on covers kind of is cheap. I mean, it's "supposed" to be eye-catchy I guess. But it feels so LAME! Like only every third romance book looks like that!! *ahem* Minor rant over, okay. <br /><br />I didn't like Epic...hehe. I found it kind of lame and I was annoyed at the ending. X)CG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.com
