TOP TEN FAVORITE BOOKS COVERS OF BOOKS I'VE READ
There are lots and loooots of book covers that I adore (whether the storyline is actually good or not), both local and international books, so it's a bit hard to pick only ten, and only from the books that I've read. I might or might not have cheated a little on this topic... :p
And by the way, YES book cover is a crucial part of the book. I'm sure there are many of us who often get interested in reading a book just by looking at the cover. That's why I often feel disappointed when an Indonesian publisher translated a good book (that has an awesome original cover) but changed and used their own version of the cover. The cover usually turns out to be ugly :(

(both books were included in my list of Top 5 Favorite Book Covers in Book Kaleidoscope 2012)
3. Divergent by Veronica Roth. It looks powerful.
4. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, Indonesian edition.
No matter how much I love the original US covers of the series (Yes, they're gorgeous for me!), I love this one even better. Gramedia did a good job, yay! It attracts your eyes immediately when they're wandering over other hundreds of books in the bookstore.
Local author. I love all four covers of the books! Sweet, dreamy and beautiful.
I didn't fancy the first version of the cover, but this one is just lovely.
It may seems mediocre for you in pictures, but believe me, the cover looks so cute & adorable in prints. And the story is so, soo good. I think more people should definitely read this book.
Local author. I actually love almost all of her books' cover (she illustrated most of her own books) but this one is definitely my fave.
I love how the cover precisely captivated not only the festivities of Christmas time but also what's inside the book.
What does my choices say about me? Heheh

Ah, me too!!! I can't wait until October! XD
DeleteI've never seen that TWILIGHT cover, but it is beautiful. I don't know that it really illustrates what the story's about -- still, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is used for the translated version in Indonesia only, that's probably why a lot of people have never seen it before. But it's beautiful, right? :D It doesn't illustrate the story (or any scene in the book, actually) but I just love seeing it ;)
DeleteI love the covers for Incarnate and Origin, too, but haven't read either. Great list!
ReplyDeleteNatflix&Books' TTT
I enjoyed reading Origin but I didn't like Incarnate that much, tbh. But maybe you should give both books a try. :)
DeleteThank you for stopping by here, Nat!
Aku mengakui kalo cover Twilight indo itu cantik, tapi gak menggambarkan ceritanya. For example:who's that blond girl? Bella kan brunette. Lebih suka cover asli krn ada filosofinya #bawel
ReplyDeleteTrus setuju sama Seluas Langit Biru-nya SItta. Covernya keren2 yaaa. Cover yg ini simpel banget tapi menggambarkan isi ceritanya,menggambarkan Bianca dan Sora banget.
Dan aku jadi penasaran sama eleanor & park.
Aku setujuuuh sih emang nggak nyambung sama ceritanya, tapi karena 'enak di mata' aja jd aku suka hihihi
DeleteKalo SK emang jago soal cover. Aku jg favoritin banget yg Lukisan Hujan tapi cover SLB ini lebih menarik di hati #eaaa
Coba baca mbak, Eleanor & Park-nya, bagus kok :D Masih mood baca yg angsty-angsty nih?
I've actually only read one of these books which is pretty sad. I love the Incarnate and Origin covers. New follower (:
ReplyDeleteWhich one is it, Adriana? :D
DeleteWow, Across the Universe is so pretty. I would buy the book just to have that cover sitting on my shelf. But I also love the rest.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks! :)
Exactly! It's one of the books that I wouldn't mind whether the story is really good or not because the cover itself would be enough lol (but luckily, I really enjoyed the book)
DeleteThank you for stopping by, Daniela :)
dari semuanya aku paling suka sama Eleanor & Park karena simple banget :)) dan kabarnya ceritanya bagus :D
ReplyDeleteIya ceritanya emang bagus, Mbak, aku suka banget :D
DeleteMakasiiih udah mampir hehe
iya mba ana, baca deh, baguss~
Deleteaku masih belum move on dari Eleanor & Park.
(rencana reviewnya buat posbar bulan ini)
oia, Tirta, web-nya rainbow rowell jg keren,
coba mampir deh, ada playlist lagu saat dy nulis Eleanor & Park.
Iyakah? Aku belum pernah 'mampir' sih hihi but thankyou udah kasihtau, kak ziy ;) I'll make sure to check it out later
DeleteOh my goodness I love that version of Twilight. I mean yes the US versions are gorgeous. It was part of the draw for me to read them, but that one? Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one who thinks so! :D
