Artsy Shelf – 13 – Butterfly Wings
Here are some covers with wings.
As you’ll notice, Fate and The Ice Queen are more than look-alikes! The same picture, with different details : the torn wing on Fate, the shadow of a hand, the tank top… I think I prefer The Ice Queen though, for its simplicity and softness.
Even though I didn’t like either of these books, I have to admit that Wings and Tithe‘s covers are very nice looking. They also fit really well the story, Tithe being very dark and Wings being softer. I like how Wings‘s wings are in fact petals.
That being said, I think my two favorites are the last two ones, The Sister and The Heart Specialist. I would be drawn to both these covers if I saw them in the store. In fact, I almost got The Sister the other day, but then I stopped myself (I already have enough books for now, sadly!)
Do any of these work for you? Which one(s) would make you pick up the book?
These covers are awesome. I keep meaning to read Wings and Tithe, both covers are just so great.
I <3 Wings π
Oooo I read the Ice Queen years ago. I like Hoffman.
I like all the butterfly covers. I prefer The Ice Queen too.
My favourite are the last two, which just happen to be the only two that I own!
I’ve read the two middle ones and part of the reason was because of the beautiful covers!
Every time I see Tithe, I want to buy it for the cover. I keep stopping myself though.
I like the first one, but for some odd reason the others don’t seem that attractive to me. Especially the one with the butterfly in the jar–that’s just disturbing. π
I love the cover of The Ice Queen — definitely draws me in! Then again, I love butterflies — so my eye would gravitate to any of these. π
Just like you (again), my favourites are the last two, The Sister and The Heart Specialist.
The Sister is an excellent book – especially if you like unreliable narrators.
The Heart Specialist really got my eye! I love the vintage feel of the cover.
