I started reading the introduction to Trigger Warnings by Neil Gaiman and while his writing does make me swoon, it is over the art of the writing and not because it is a romantic text.
So, I decided to give you all a triple dose of battling book covers. That's right! We're at Defcon 3! Triple Threat! The Big Brawl! Taco Tuesday. No wait. I mean Queso Wednesday. No, that's not right.
Tonight's battle is a Sleeping Beauty smack down! You'll see why. It's.................

Star of Deliverance by Mandy Madson Voisin
It's a beautiful dress, isn't it? And we have it any color to suit your mood; blue, purple, white...
Seeing these covers just put me in mind of Sleeping Beauty's fairy godmothers who couldn't agree on a dress color. Pink, blue, pink, blue, well you get the idea.
So, what mood are you in?
I think I like the Star of Deliverance cover better. While purple is one of my favorite colors, that shade does little for me except make me look out for Easter eggs. Much prefer a darker purple.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd pick Chosen. I like the stream of light that surrounds her. Oddly, I didn't realize before that the white dress has capped sleeves, so that was altered in photoshop I guess.
DeleteAt least they changed the color of the dresses, and flipped on of the pictures. That's something at least. I like the Chosen cover too because of the little fairy lights surrounding her, like she's Cinderella or something and the dress just magically appeared! Yeah, too much Disney growing up. ha!
ReplyDeleteI think it's like a bait and switch. You might remember the image and not the book title and buy the wrong book on accident. Devious.
