I have such weird feelings about covers.  Sometimes I like them right away, sometimes I hate them right away, and sometimes they grow on me (I think it helps if I like the book).  So here are my 5 picks!

I like all of these for a couple of reasons.  

One: the simplicity of design.  I love how clean each book cover is; my eye isn't overwhelmed. 

Two: each also has an amazing pop of color.  Color always attracts me to a book first.

Three: I think each cover shows a part of the plot/character in the story.  This is an important aspect because I feel this is the point of a book cover.

Overall, book covers are so important!  If they weren't we wouldn't use them.  So next time you pick up a book, really give the cover a once over.  

Do you like or not, and why?
