It is probably once a week that my roommate comes into my room, rolls her eyes, and says 'WHAT are you reading?!' usually it is because there is a fairy/girl swimming in a prom dress/shinny silver background to my book. THE HORROR, THE HORROR (thanks, J. Conrad). Sometimes I can convince her its ok. But not always. For example on Sunday, she caught me a book that said on the back "She was cyborg, and she would never go to the ball." Once she regained the ability to speak, I tried to explain that Cinder was a pretty cool mechanic, but it was a hard sell!
Here, in no particular order, are my Top (8) Covers I like and am not embarrassed by:
1. A Million Suns, Beth Revis. I know there was all the hullabaloo about the cover of Across the Universe, but I love these covers on Beth Revis's series.
3. Anna Dressed in Blood, Kendare Blake.
5. The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern. The cover is gorgeous, and the writing is very visual, but my favorite were the interior designs.
6. Delirum, Lauren Oliver. The sequel cannot compare.
7.The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fizgerald. (CLASSIC)
8. Rules of Civility, Amor Towles. Classy act, all the way.
Anna Dressed in Blood is a cool cover, I just got that book last week :)

How could I have forgotten The Great Gatsby? That cover is timeless, and becomes so meaningful once you've read the book. While I haven't read it, The Romantics' cover is lovely as well--reminds me a bit of the nature illustrations of John James Audubon. Great list!
