I couldn’t decide which cover I liked better so I decided to share both covers of Mat Johnson’s Pym. Pym | Mat Johnson | Spiegel & Grau | 2012 | 9780812981766

I’m not a poetry fan, but this cover was so dramatic that I just had to share it with you. The contrast and the image are so striking. I was quite in awe of this cover image. Application for Release from the Dream | Tony Hoagland | Greywolf Press | September 2015 | 9781555977184

The cover for The Things We Thought We Saw in the Water by C. Frazier Jones could be a very melancholy print. Any time I see a book coverContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

This cover of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne is perfect for this heart breaking tale. I’ve seen the movie, and I’ve yet to read the book, but from what I know of the story, the image of the faded ink lettering printed over the worn blue stripes of the Nazi camp issued pajamasContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”
