I'll admit the cover for POSSESS caught my eye, though.<br /><br />GONE, GONE, GONE and THE NIGHT CIRCUS are so beautiful! More covers like those, publishers! Get on it. ;)Maggie Desmond-O'Brienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007811452527769309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428577181594967935.post-8243382859921734982011-09-30T06:00:26.569-07:002011-09-30T06:00:26.569-07:00I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO with you.I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO with you.Tales of Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938494589922620170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428577181594967935.post-25951427677477774722011-09-30T05:41:15.273-07:002011-09-30T05:41:15.273-07:00I love the cover of Gone, Gone, GoneI love the cover of Gone, Gone, GoneJavid Suleymanlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430891752669525863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428577181594967935.post-47512287489490991122011-09-30T04:57:05.208-07:002011-09-30T04:57:05.208-07:00I love cover art but I wish it was more varied.
...I love cover art but I wish it was more varied. <br /><br />I know an artist that use to work in the art department of a big publishing house. She once told me that cover artists are not required to read the books before designing covers, but she always tried to so she could help her team with ideas. She became frustrated because team members really weren't interested in reading all the books (or at least a few key chapters) so they were coming up with very generic ideas. Plus, their hands are tied really, and have to go along with what the business people think will sell books, and they are all about trends.<br /><br />Since then, she's quit and started her own tattoo business and she makes three times the amount of money and her creativity and talent is appreciated!<br /><br />I prefer unique covers that add to the intrigue of the book.<br /><br />Happy reading!Eviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02995967316843273219noreply@blogger.com
