This week's topic is Cover Trends. Here's what I left BEA thinking about covers. This isn't a new trend, but it's coming back again (kinda like fashion that way I guess)
- meme from The Broke and the Bookish
The circle that draws your eye into the cover isn't new, but here are 10 upcoming books with the same idea.
Do you like it? Hate it?
You know, I don't really like when a lot of covers use the same thing as a way to draw in readers (see Paradigm as a rip off of Divergent), but each of these covers are unique. I like that they draw your eye in. Great choices!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT!
I have been noticing that trend too! It is not as obvious as other ones, but definitely relevant. I do not mind it for now, but if it becomes an overwhelming fad I can see it getting on my nerves.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!

I like that you picked 10 books with 1 trend - that's a lot harder! It's interesting how you never really notice these things until you have to think about it! :)
ReplyDeleteI like it. My boyfriend mentioned this trend to me the other day. I was reading Matched, and thought it was a Divergent book, because it had a "big cirle-y thing" on it.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting trend. I honestly never really thought about covers like this being a trend, but seeing 10 of them together with similar qualities, it is easy to see how they draw you in.

Interesting! I never would have thought of a circle as a trend... But when you see them all in one place, it makes sense.
