Cool Covers

If you've been reading some of my book reviews then you'll notice that I am a sucker for a great book cover. I get annoyed when covers are misleading. For instance, a book with a girl by a pool when a pool is never mentioned in the story. Alternatively, I love when a book cover is given greater meaning after reading the story. That and just the color, the texture....I just love a good book cover.

So while Rachel and I were at the book expo we found a publisher whose covers I LOVE.

Europa Editions

Check out some of my favorites:






Ok. How cool are these? And I really like their titles. I haven't read any of them but I really want to. Have you read any Europa Editions books?

    the covers are lovely. I have a thing for covers too and they have a big influence over the books I purchase.

    Those are great! Love the design. I too am a sucker for book covers. I don't generally mind if the book cover has anything to do with the story if it is a cool cover. However, if it is cool and does manage to reflect something of the story, I am really thrilled.

    The cover for The Most Beautiful Book in the World is great- it makes reading look sexy!

    How ironic - a coworker of mine was just finishing "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" the other day and showed it to me. And then I see it here on your blog, just days later! It must be a sign...guess I'll have to add it to my TBR list.
