Hello
and welcome to Cover Wars where covers don’t mind getting down and dirty as
long as you pick favorites. Sorry for the delay guys, last time we had
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff a steampunk japanesse representative with a fierce
woman front and center.
The
winner of the Stormdancer show down is….
The
U.S. Cover!!!
Now
that we’ve all basked on the glory of the winning cover we can move on to this
week’s cover wars, has you all know the Book Thief will be out on theater’s in
the U.S. I thought it would be a nice occasion to take a look at the faces this
book has had. In case you haven’t heard about The Book Thief before here is the
book blurb:
It is
1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been
busier, and will become busier still.
Liesel
Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager
existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t
resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns
to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well
as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.
In
superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus
Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring
stories of our time.
Ok, now
that we all know a bit about the book, I would like to say that we are going to
center in 3 covers.
First
up ladies and gentlemen we have one of the creepiest covers I’ve seen in a long
while, a terrifying dance that evokes all sort of feelings on you (or atleast
on me).
Up next
we have the most popular cover before this book was turned into a movie, a simple
and clean cover that makes itself memorable.
Now we
have the newest cover, the one that marketing forces books that are turned into
movies to transform into.
All the
covers are now out in the open and ready for you to pick a favorite, so please
share if there is a cover that caught your attention the most or if there is
one that is just begging you to give it a place in your bookshelf, please
remember to vote on the poll or leave a comment.
