Cover Crush: Prized (Birthmarked #2)

I love book covers.  I really really do.  Even my students know how much I love them.  I'll share a new book and go on and on about the cover.  Or I'll search out a few students in the morning to show it to them.  They laugh at me but they get it.  They also get that a "bad" cover is - well just bad! I truly do get a crush on certain covers.

Currently I'm crushing on:


Prized (Birthmarked #2) by Caragh M. O'Brien
Coming out November 2011

I'm not completely sure what it is about this cover that I love, but I do really love it!  I think it's a combination of the colors and the swirls - and the way the title swirls in with all the other artwork.  I'm just very drawn to it.  It seems like if I saw it in person there would be little pieces that would be found each time I looked at it.  
Interestingly I haven't read Birthmarked yet, but it is on my summer reading list!!

What do you think of it???

  1. Birthmarked was fantastic! That cover had a lot of symbolism that I really wasn't aware of until I actually read the book, so now I can't wait to read Prized and figure out what the deal is with the different cover elements here.

  5. That cover has all sorts of awesome sauce spread over it. I'd buy the book because of the cover.
