{Cover Wars} Cover Loving week 16-18

What a better way to start or continue a Saturday then by looking at the covers you guys dimmed the prettiest of their bunch.

 Yes, that is right we are still in the Book Loving count down as we see all the past winner of the battles that have ensued in Cover Wars. Now then let’s jump to it and start the pretty covers mini runaway.

First we have a cover that even though its characters are trapped in space it has no problem changing its “face”. We are talking about the cover with more cover makeovers in the story of Forget About TV, Grab a Book history and the first book to be launched into space. If you are thinking it’s all “Across the Universe” by Beth Revis you would be correct.

The winner for the Across the Universe week is the…..

A LITTLE BIT OF ROMANCE COVER!!!!!

From outer space we moved to something closer to home, to a girl that thinks she can make any boy into a bad boy but instead finds herself being changed. We are talking about Geek Girl by Cindy C. Bennett. It was The goth girl that thought she was doing the makeover VS The artsy looking, confident fairing goth girl; and the victorious cover for the Geek Girl battle is…..

THE ARTSY LOOKING, CONFIDENT FAIRING GOTH!!!!!

We leave the contemporary world to move into the fairy tale retellings, one where people of earth learn to fear the moon people, especially their queen. This is the first Cover Wars that was International VS U.S. cover, one of the Cinder by Marissa Meyers covers even made a reader ask the question, should we really let that type of body image take over our books?

The  in this International VS Homeboy edition is….

THE ORIGINAL COVER!!!

This week we’ve discovers 6 covers that for you my dearest readers where the ones most deserving of your loving, the ones that represented the story best and the ones that you would pick up from a bookshelf if you were to bump into them in the wild. Join us next Wednesday to see more beautiful covers as we get nearer to the end of this book loving count down.

Did you liked this week’s winners?? Would you change any of them???

{Cover Wars} Geek Girl by Cindy C. Bennett

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another edition of Cover Wars where to covers ramble against one another. During Cover Wars you might find yourself wondering, was the book cover makeover  really necessary? Which one do I prefer? Is this cover really telling me something about the book’s story? And if I were to see that in a bookshelf would I pick it up?

This week’s contenders come from the mind of Cindy C. Bennett’s and her book Geek Girl, lets first take a look at the book blurb shall we?

"Think I can turn that boy bad?" 17-year-old Jen turns her life upside down when, out of boredom, she makes a bet that she can turn school geek Trevor into someone like her. Instead, the goth girl finds herself sucked into his world of sci-fi movies, charity work, and even-ugh!-bowling. To truly belong with him-and with her new foster family-she must first come to terms with her violent past.

Now that we are all in the same page, shall we take a look at this week’s contenders??

First we have the original cover with goth girl how thought she was doing the makeover:

On the other corner we have the artsy looking, confident fairing goth:

When I look at both this covers I can’t help but to like more the artsy looking cover, yes guys this time I am cheering for the makeover cover, it’s just that the girl in the original cover looks so sad, not bored as we are led to believe by the book description.

The girl in the second cover looks more confident, it is easier for me to believe that she would take on this kind of dare, that she would experience the “sci-fi movies, charity work, and even bowling”.

 I know we are also talking about a character with a violent past, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a certain amount of confidence nor the type of personality necessary to get herself mixed up in this kind of situation.

Based on the book blurb I would pick up the second cover out of the shelf any day of the week. What about you guys?? Which cover would have you reading this book?? Which one do you prefer? Or feel it fits the description better, please let us know.
