It’s
Wednesday and you know what that means, COVER WARS!!! For those of you new to
the blog here in this edition of Cover Wars we don’t put just any two covers
one against the other, this covers that are fighting to see which one you like
best are from the same book, even if the name changes, because even if we all
know that it’s what’s inside that counts we all like to look at the pretty
covers.
This
week we have The Disenchantments by Nina LaCour, if you still don’t know what
book we will be discussing then let’s take a look first at what the book is
about, then we will see the pretties.
Colby
and Bev have a long-standing pact: graduate, hit the road with Bev's band, and
then spend the year wandering around Europe. But moments after the tour kicks
off, Bev makes a shocking announcement: she's abandoning their plans - and
Colby - to start college in the fall.
But the
show must go on and The Disenchantments weave through the Pacific Northwest,
playing in small towns and dingy venues, while roadie- Colby struggles to deal
with Bev's already-growing distance and the most important question of all:
what's next?
Now
that we all have a sense of what the book is about let’s take a look at the
contestants. First we have an 80’s vibe sort of cover, something that in my
opinion does say “let’s keep moving forward”.
On the
other side of the ring we find The Disenchantments (or who I boldly assumed
where The Disenchantments) a moment in time that where everything still seemed
possible.
Ok, so
the last word is up to you, which cover does it for you?? Does one cover match
the story better than the other??? Do you think I am cuckoo for cocoa puffs
because of my little theories about the covers?? Comments and votes are highly appreciated;
after all it’s your opinion that counts.
