Cover Crush: The Milliner’s Secret

We can all say that you should never judge a book by its cover, but I guarantee that we all have done so at least once! Cover Crush is designed to feature some of those covers that have caught the eye as a standout on the bookshelf.

I love this mint green dress and hat combo!  It’s not a color you see all the time and it basically jumps right out at you.  And even though she is looking down, you still see the face of this woman.  Even though they look a little disconnected to the rest of the cover, I don’t dislike the little corner embellishments.  I think the cover would still stand just as well on its own without them, but they do draw the eye around the whole cover.

What are your thoughts on this cover?

I wonder what my friends are crushing on this week? Let’s check it out: A Literary Vacation; A Bookaholic Swede; Flashlight Commentary; Layered Pages; 2 Kids and Tired Books.

Cover Crush: The Wardrobe Mistress

We can all say that you should never judge a book by its cover, but I guarantee that we all have done so at least once! Cover Crush is designed to feature some of those covers that have caught the eye as a standout on the bookshelf.

“This cover intrigues me.  When I first looked at it I though that she was looking out a very large window, such as in a palace, and she is supposed to be the titular character, a Mistress of the Wardrobe.  However, after reading the description, I am pretty sure that she might be looking out from the wings of a stage (since this is set in a theatre that makes more sense).  But can you see my confusion?  Regardless of its appropriateness, I still think the cover is striking.  I always think that red is a bold color choice and will draw the eye in.  I like that she appears as more of a shadow against the bright backdrop.  And I don’t even mind the words of the title obscuring the central figure.
