Top Ten Book Covers I’d Frame As Pieces of Art:



Jen's Picks: 


If I would have planned this better I totally would have gone to a bookstore and just walked around looking at all the book covers I’d like a print of to hang on my wall. Instead I scoured my bookshelves and GoodReads.



  
Across the Universe by Beth Revis: How can you not LOVE this cover??



Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler: The heart shaped sea glass on the cover is a perfect fit for the book and a spot hanging on my wall. 

  
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater: The simplicity of the cover makes it so great.


Oh, The Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss: This would be good to hang in an office or someplace you'd see it when you needed a boost of motivation.





Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll: This clothbound version is super super super pretty! I’d hang a canvas painting of this cover on my wall for sure.


Jamie's Picks

 

I'm just obsessed with the simplicity and beauty of this one. If the heart was something I stumbled upon on Etsy I would buy it and hang it in my home.


  I haven't read this (I own it!) but this cover change for the paperback is BEAUTIFUL.

Kimberly's Picks

 Sea Glass by Maria V. Snyder: Isn't it just gorgeous? I love the color and simplicity. 


The Book Thief by Markus Zusak: This is my favorite edition of the book, I love the imagery, young girl with a book, sepia toned with the contrast of the rust colored curtains.



    For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund: Normally I don't care for the "prom/fancy dress clad girl with devastatingly beautiful face" covers. But this is so much better. It's simple and beautiful.


    What book covers would YOU hang as art work because they are so beautifuuuuul?

    1. Love the Across the Universe cover! It's a shame that they decided to redesign the covers after the second book. :/ I also really love the For Darkness Shows the Stars cover. Guess I have a thing for galaxy patterns, haha.

      1. I was so disappointed when they redesigned the covers for Across the Universe! The original cover is SO PRETTY

    2. The cover of For Darkness Shows the Stars is gorgeous. I would have totally added that to my top ten. I love the covers for Across the Universe and The Book Thief, too.

      ReplyDelete
    3. I totally agree on The Lovers Dictionary!

      ReplyDelete
    4. Oooh, pretty....great picks and awesome topic this week!

      ReplyDelete
    5. Where Things Come Back is just so pretty - and I adore the cover for the Lover's Dictionary too.

      ReplyDelete
    6. I love that clothbound Alice cover - never seen that before! It's lovely.
      Equally, I've never seen the cover shown for the Book Thief - that's also lovely!
      Lynn :D

    7. Great pics! I chose Shiver, too. And I love your Alice book! I hadn't seen that one before and now I really want it :)

    8. Kyra @ Blog of a Bookaholic
      My TTT post!

      I love that version of The Book Thief, it's beautiful! As well as the cover for The Lover's Dictionary :)

      ReplyDelete
    9. I also chose Across the Universe :-) The Sea Glass and For Darkness Shows the Stars covers are gorgeous!

      ReplyDelete
    10. Some gorgeous covers! I also chose Across the Universe, it is such a stunning cover! :)

      ReplyDelete
    11. I forgot all about Shiver's cover! The illustrations for each of the covers in that series would be beautiful frames side by side!

      ReplyDelete
    12. Across the Universe was *this close* to making my list, but I can't believe I forgot about The Lovers Dictionary. It's a gorgeous cover.

      ReplyDelete
    13. I picked the cover for Shiver too! And that is by far my favourite cover for The Book Thief, it's what made me buy the book in the first place! Awesome picks!

      Check out my Top Ten Tuesday!

    14. Nice covers! I tended to choose covers with paintings as background rather than graphics or photos. But these are very effective.

      Visit my post at Emerald City Book Review 

      ReplyDelete
    15. Love your picks! The sepia Book Thief cover is gorgeous!

      ReplyDelete
    16. Hello! I'll start this section today. Can I do it now or I have to do something before? I notice that you start today to do so.It's a great section! Kisses.

      ReplyDelete
    17. Some of my favorite covers on here! Especially For Darkness Shows the Stars, Shiver and Across the Universe.

      ReplyDelete
    18. You chose some beautiful covers!

      ReplyDelete
    19. I love the flamingos. That'd make a really cute pattern for a dress actually.

      ReplyDelete
    20. I love that cover The Book Thief. I've never seen that one before. I would frame that for sure.

      ReplyDelete
    21. I don't know if I can think of enough for a top ten, but the first one that comes to mind is The Great Gatsby. It's just iconic.

      ReplyDelete
    22. The covers you picked are gorgeous! I've always loved "across the universe" kelley—the road goes ever ever on

      ReplyDelete
    23. The one for For Darkness Shows the Stars is great. Then again, I'm all for the pretty dresses, as you'll see if you check out my list. I've never heard of that book, so I may have to check it out.

      ReplyDelete
    24. I think the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland books have the most beautiful covers around..I just haven't owned any of it yet! :)

      The Book Thief is one of my favourite books. I haven't seen this cover before though but it looks really good! The girl reading and everything, it pulls the reader into the story even more.

    25. I hadn't seen that clothbound Alice before, but what a great cover! I love the style.

      Great list!

      ReplyDelete
    26. Great picks! I love the covers for Across the Universe and For Darkness Shows the Stars.

      ReplyDelete
    27. Ooh, I don't think I've seen that particular cover to The Book Thief. It's really lovely! And, I'm totally with you on the Penguin Hardcover Classics covers. Those books are all so beautiful. I NEED THEM ALL.

      ReplyDelete
    28. I love Across the Universe and For Darkness Shows the Stars covers they are beautiful! I also like Sea Glass! I think I've read that one but I don't remember it. I will need to check it out again.

    29. Beautiful covers! My favorites are Across the Universe (beautiful design and color choices) and The Lover's Dictionary (very simple, and effective)!

      ReplyDelete
    30. Where things come back is a good one. I also love anything Dr Seuss.

      ReplyDelete
    31. This is a list of such lovely covers! I'm delighted to see a bunch of new ones :-) I especially love the cover for Shiver -- it's gorgeous and would make an amazing print (hint, hint, the crafty folks on Etsy!)

      Sam @ Mad But Magic

      ReplyDelete
    32. Shiver? Definitely. I'd frame that!

      ReplyDelete
    33. Shiver would make nice framed art, and Sea Glass looks nice too.

      ReplyDelete
    34. Nice picks! Curiously enough, I have the Spanish version of Where Things Come Back on my list!

      Shiver has a really beautiful cover, I'd frame a print of that one :)

      ReplyDelete
    35. Across the Universe was on my list too! I absolutely love that cover. It's GORGEOUS.
