Funky Cover Friday

Hello all! It’s Funky Cover Friday once again. As you all probably know at this point, I’m a fan of any cover that can also be considered art wort. 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 week, I’m absolutely enthralled with the cover for Claudia Gray’s A Thousand Pieces of You. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book, notContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

In honour of the release of Maggie Stiefvater’s Blue Lily, Lily Blue, this week’s Funky Cover Friday features the cover of the latest edition to the Raven Cycle series. I featured this cover when it was revealed months ago and to this day, it remains one of my favourite YA covers. It’s a stunning mix ofContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

I was having a hard time picking today’s cover. There are so many covers that I like, but there are rarely covers that I love. And I sometime get stuck in that spot where I can’t think of those covers that have really stuck out to me in the past. This week I had toContinue 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”

Frog Music / Emma Donoghue / Little, Brown and Company / April 2014 / 9780316324687 I love this cover of Emma Donoghue’s Frog Music. It’s bright, colourful, and eye catching. A woman’s silhouette comprised of frogs indicates that not everything is as it seems. The cover characterizes Blanche, a French burlesque dancer who lives a lifeContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

Here by Richard McGuire is a comic that shows the history of one space, from the age of the dinosaurs, through the present, and into the future. But it’s always the same space. I love this cover of a nondescript window. It could be any window, but each window will haveContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

I recently reviewed The House I Grew Up In by Lisa Jewell (read review here) and I adore the cover. It’s a perfect representation of the fragility of life and of the balance between contentment and devastation.The egg is the perfect symbol for the Bird family. Death and anger (at oneself and others) threaten to overwhelmContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

Happy Funky Cover Friday! What covers are you jonesing for this week? My favourite cover of the week is on Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon’s Daytripper. This is such an attention grabbing image. The use of whitespace in contrast to the colour is a genius design. It suggests a vibrancy that exists within memory and imaginationContinue reading “Funky Cover Friday”

It’s Friday again! Here’s another cover for you to kick off your weekend. One of my favourite covers of all time is the censorship cover for George Orwell’s 1984. Covered in black censorship bars but debossed, the title Nineteen Eighty-Four is barely visible, but it makes such a huge statement about the books message. It’s anContinue reading “Funky Cover Fridays”
