Friday Finds (4)

Because I Am Furniture by: Thalia Chaltas

This cover is amazing. I tend to not like covers that feature real people because I like to be able to picture them myself without any image influence, so I love how they just used a silhouette. I also really like the title since the book is about abuse.

Once was Lost by: Sara Zarr

This is the second book by Sara Zarr on my Friday Finds list. I just really love her covers, the are so simple and yet so elegant and original. The storyline also looks very appealing.

Divorced, Beheaded, Died... by: Kevin Flude

I LOVE non-fiction (being a history major made this happen) and I love European history, so a non-fiction book about the monarchs of Britain is a perfect fit.
Plus? The cover features the same crown as my header ;)
Downside? I have to wait until September 17th :(

Did you find anything interesting this week?

♔ jessica.marie said...: Yeah when you search for basic images of crowns online there are only like 3 different ones ;); April 24, 2009 at 12:34 PM
avisannschild said...: I must admit, though, that I didn't notice the tweaking you've done to your site!; April 24, 2009 at 12:41 PM
avisannschild said...: I meant to add, it's beautiful either way!; April 24, 2009 at 12:42 PM
♔ jessica.marie said...: lol, Thanks!

I was actually just trying to tweak it a little bit, but not enough that it would be a HUGE difference. I made the background myself this time, so I wouldn't be using someone else's work and I wanted it to basically look the same :D; April 24, 2009 at 12:45 PM

Chrissy said...: I never thought about how using a silhouette for a cover could be an advantage like that. :); April 26, 2009 at 10:23 PM
