oooh, shiny
Remember I said that once in a while I'd post novel covers that I like? I'm paying more attention now because soon I'll be asked about my thoughts on the TTTT cover. Here's one I like a lot for its simplicity and elegant lines. Wouldn't be right for TTTT, but it caught my eye and my imagination.
I also like this cover, which is nothing like the first one. It's complex and intriguing and the colors work for me. I love the use of text to the top of the image, but I wish they had skipped the stark white blurb at the bottom, which distracts and unbalances the whole.
Finally, they've re-released Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping: A Novel, which I greatly admired the first time around. And now look at this fantastic cover. A little too sober for the rather sharp TTTT, but I'd be thrilled anyway if I got something like this.
