Book Cover Runway

I am part of a book reviewer group at my local book store. The other day we were asked to think about what catches our attention on the cover of a book. So, today I am going to post about some of my favorite book covers (with a runway theme). Enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(*Turn on the classic radio voice in your head*) Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to the show! Today, some of the best models in the literary land will be joining us to strut their stuff. Let's get off to the races!

First up we have the lovely Ms. Why We Broke Up. Give her a hand. 

Ms. Why We Broke Up is looking snazzy! Ms. Why We Broke Up is simple, yet very dramatic. I love the bold red in the background. The red isn't overpowering, but it makes the book pop! I absolutely adore how the font looks handwritten and somewhat casual. The aspect that I like the most about this lovely cover is that the tea cup is falling. It is so cool that there is action(the falling of the cup) on the cover of the novel. I also adore that the words that make up the title are falling with the tea cup. 

Up next is the uber stylish Stargirl. Stargirl is simple, frivolous, and sophisticated all at once. I love that there are no words on this cover, and that the pictures are very literal as to what the title is. Please applaud ladies and gentleman.

Ladies and Gentlemen please clap for Mr. Boyfriend List (15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs, and Me Ruby Oliver). Again, the cover is simple. There isn't a lot going on, yet the cover is attention grabbing. I like the sassy look on the frog's face because it is humorous and relates to the title. Because the background of this book cover is white, I enjoy the bold green and pink on the front--it makes the cover pop. 

Now, here comes Ms. An Abundance of Katherines. Ms. Katherine is incredibly colorful and the way the title is arranged is creative. Another thing I adore about Ms. Katherine is that all of the girls have a different silhouette. Very nice and creative. Again, this cover isn't overly busy, but it pops. Please put your hands together for Ms. Katherine!


Thank you for coming to the runway ladies and gentlemen. Feel free to comment about some of your favorite book covers.
