Top Ten Book Covers I'd Frame As Pieces of Art

Book covers are so interesting.  they have to convey the story and make you want to pick it up.  We judge so many books by the covers.  That being said, there aren't a lot of covers of YA books I would actually put on my wall.  Here are the one's that may have a chance.

Breaking Butterflies by M. Anjelais

I like the watercolor butterfly on this.

 

Dissonance (Dissonance #1) by Erica O'Rourke

This goes beyond your typical girl in dress.  I think there is something so artistic about it.

Indelible (The Twixt #1) by Dawn Metcalf

I really like the flower on this.

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

Honestly, it's not my normal type of art, but I like the nature aspect of it.

But I Love Him by Amanda Grace/Mandy Hubbard

I really like the sea glass heart on this.

Fairy Tale by Cyn Balog

I like the jeweled butterfly.

 

Middle Ground (Awaken #2) by Katie Kacvinsky

This is probably a bit too country style for my house, put I think it's pretty anyway.

The Body Finder (The Body Finder #1) by Kimberly Derting

I like the Georgia O'Keeffe look to this cover.

Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1) by Maggie Stiefvater

I love the cutout art of this cover.  It makes it even more special that the author designed it herself.

The Space Between Trees by Katie Williams

It doesn't really come out in this, but the cover of the hardcover is a really pretty cutout.

"Waiting On" Wednesday (#46) Dissonance (Dissonance #1) by Erica O'Rourke

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm picking:

Dissonance (Dissonance #1) by Erica O'Rourke
Expected publication: July 22nd 2014 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

From Goodreads: 

Delancy Sullivan has always known there’s more to reality than what people see. Every time someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world branches off from the existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed ~ all of these choices create an alternate universe in which an echo self takes the road not travelled and makes the opposite decision. As a Walker, someone who can navigate between these worlds, Del’s job is to keep all of the dimensions in harmony.

Normally, Del can hear the dissonant frequency that each world emits as clear as a bell. But when a training session in an off-key world goes horribly wrong, she is forbidden from Walking by the Council. But Del’s not big on following the rules and she secretly starts to investigate these other worlds. Something strange is connecting them and it’s not just her random encounters with echo versions of the guy she likes, Simon Lane.

But Del’s decisions have unimaginable consequences and, as she begins to fall for the Echo Simons in each world, she draws closer to a truth that the Council of Walkers is trying to hide ~ a secret that threatens the fate of the entire multiverse.

Why I'm Waiting:

I love the idea of this book.  I think everyone wonders what would have happened if they had made a different life decision. Or really any decision differently at all.  The idea that these "echos" exist, is fascinating.
