Best of 2011: Covers

This is part of a short series, Best of 2011. The other two parts will go up the following two days. As 2011 comes to a close, it's the time to talk about the rest of the year. Being in the bookish community, this means I'll be talking about bookish things. Here goes!


Today's part is one of vanity, but we did have some fabulous covers on books this year.

10, for its simplicity and ability to give a true feel for the book.

9, for having just the right amount of creepiness for you to remember.

8, for an amazing color choice and also being relevant to the story.

7, for being delightfully creepy and illustrating the story well.

6, for having an amazing color palate and image.

5, for its amazing background and vibe.

4, for its artistic qualities and overall truth to the novel.

3, for its color, simple font choice, and perhaps a double meaning.

2, for its meaning and simplicity.

1, for its stunning way of showing the story in the best way possible.
