I've noticed for a long time how book covers seem to run in distinct trends every year or so and that very few of them are all that original anymore. When a books hits it big, it seems like everybody else wants to "adapt" the cover art for their own purposes.

But I haven't read any of them. Good luck picking! :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-26570069804878413102019-09-11T21:07:57.999-05:002019-09-11T21:07:57.999-05:00I agree that the covers are pretty much all great....I agree that the covers are pretty much all great. And the plots all sound great from what is revealed on the book jacket flaps, no doubt about it. I just wonder why they all came out at the same time as they did. Which super-successful book are they all "copying," I wonder. There has to have been something that triggered so many similar books to hit the shops within weeks of each otherSam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-56675355732514812572019-09-11T20:57:12.298-05:002019-09-11T20:57:12.298-05:00All of these covers appeal to me!

I only want to read the best ones, so how do we choose?? Personally, I'd start with the Jenoff book since I've enjoyed several books by her. If you found that one disappointing, then I'm not sure what to tell you ...Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.com
