Top Ten Tuesday: Books With People On The Cover

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! Today, we’re talking about book covers. Usually, my least-favorite book covers are the ones with people on them. I find “people covers” distracting because the characters on the cover rarely look like the characters in my imagination. I don’t like that. But, there are some stunning “people covers” in the book world. I adore these covers because they give the reader a glimpse into the story. I want to know who these characters are and what they’re doing.

  1. The cover of Bones of a Saint caught my eye and makes me want to see what it's about.

  3. I remember having a whole discussion with the kid about people on covers. She was ok with them as long as they don't show the faces for the exact reason you mentioned - they don't match up to how they look in her head.

  4. I'm not usually a fan of people on covers but I do like several of these: A Sisterhood of Secret Ambitions, Made You Up and A Darker Shade of Magic, my big bug bear with people on covers are stock photos, I just think they're ugly, those three are illustrated/stylised so they look much nicer.

  6. This is a great series of covers. I am getting pretty sick of the historical novels, which all look the same right now with a woman walking away from the reader.

  12. Those are some beautiful covers, I especially like Made You Up. And I love the Jenny Lawson cover and can't wait to read her new book. As an e-reader, I don't spend much time thinking about covers, except I hate how similar most of them look. The ones you've chosen really stand out.
