Sometimes, like with Imaginary Girls, the new cover looks horrible. I could imagine myself getting the hardcover based solely on the cover if I saw it in a bookstore, but I would barely glance at the paperback.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01559414823544545672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318800217921114831.post-5134513600868349442014-07-12T02:46:40.415-04:002014-07-12T02:46:40.415-04:00I never thought about it before, but it does reall...I never thought about it before, but it does really look like a typical vampirey book!

I'm glad I have the hardcover of this one because I DETEST that PB. The original cover was just so stunning...part of what drew me to the book in the first place.

Now that you mention it, it does sort of look like a vampire book or a paranormal romance. And it's just too dark compared to the bright colors of the hardcover. I just don't understand why they would change that pretty cover. How frustrating! This is a great idea for a feature!

I love posts like these! And I'm so with you on the hardback cover. It's SO much nicer. It's so interesting and haunting and though I haven't read the book yet, the cover makes me want to read it!
