They usually involved an image of some girl dressed in a provocative or colorful dress, with a serious expression on her face. The images don't usually tell us much about the story at all and could be interchanged and no one would care. Seeing these two covers confirms my suspicions that in too many cases generic images are plucked from hyperspace and slapped on a book. I prefer cover images that are really unique, speak to the story itself, and make a book stand out from the crowd. Some of my favorite YA covers of late include Ashes, Fracture and Article 5.Laurisa White Reyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500840034913586508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367042461805849381.post-42108288881283861782012-05-29T09:32:16.184-04:002012-05-29T09:32:16.184-04:00Oh no, that's terrible!

The company/artist that owns the image might not know what its being used for when the rights are sold, and with millions of books out there you can't check them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367042461805849381.post-24195022883225275542012-05-29T07:39:03.936-04:002012-05-29T07:39:03.936-04:00I detest it as well!!
