Hello, lovely readers! It’s that time of week again: Which Cover Wednesday! 😀 Which Cover Wednesday is a weekly meme I host. What happens is that I compare two different covers of a book and give my opinion of which cover looks better. And feel free to join in on the fun by commenting on these gorgeous covers below! 😉 And this week’s contenders are:
1. This Raging Light by Estelle Laure
or
This is a tough one! I really like the ombre colours of the first cover, but I love the typography of the second cover more…. I guess if I had to choose, I’d go with the second one, because it’s a bit more subtle and suited to the story than the first cover’s playfulness.
2. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
or
Second cover, second cover, second cover! While the first cover is the one I read from way back when, the second one holds an appeal to me simply because of the velvety rose in the centre. I kind of wish it had more going for it than that, but right now, I like its cover art as well as its bold typography…
3. The Beautiful and the Cursed by Page Morgan
or
Love that second cover! At first, I really liked the first cover with that ethereal dress the model’s wearing as well as the colours, but the second cover has something going for it. Maybe it’s the model’s expression, like she’s just been fighting some serious bad news, or the fact that a gargoyle is on the cover, alluding to the story more than the Parisian background of the first cover.
4. Chanters by Amy Butler Greenfield
or
In this case, I’d go with the first cover, seeing as it looks a bit more otherworldly and related to fantasy in some way. The second cover looks more general ( I honestly wouldn’t know if it was historical or contemporary…), but I wouldn’t guess its relation to the story at all! Plus, I like how first cover makes use of its cover art by playing with the typography. Even though the second one has the same kind of cover art, it looks more like a random flourish…
Well, that’s all for this week’s Which Cover Wednesday! Were there any covers that made you look twice? I’d love to hear about it, as well as any suggestions for this meme, in the Comments Section below. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

Tough choices this week! I DEFINITELY like the first Vampire Academy cover better. And actually, I think I’d go with option one on all of these. Yep. Option one. 🙂

They were really tough this week. I had to think a bit more on these because, for the most part, they’re all really gorgeous covers! Thanks for sharing your opinions! I always like hearing from you! 😉

I spurgled a bit and got ‘The Star-Touched Queen’, partly because of the cover, it’s lovely. I also recently finished ‘Rebel of the Sands’ and that has an awesome cover as well.

The Star-Touched Queen does have a lovely cover! That and its sequel, A Crown of Wishes! And I really like the first cover of Rebel of the Sand (the blue one)!

Lovely covers.. I was torn between the first two as well.. think I’d still go with the first one, because it’s so vibrant and there aren’t enough books like that so it really stands out to me. For number 2. Definitely the second cover with the rose, not having any doubts about that one !!

That’s fair! I really like the colours of the first one, too! It’s just the second one that appeals to me more… 😉 I hope they continue using those covers for all the Vampire Academy books!

For this raging light I like the ombre colors. For The Vampire Academy I like the black cover and for the beautiful and the cursed I liked the colorful one!

The ombré colours do look nice! And I can see why you’d like the first cover of The Beautiful and the Cursed if you like the colours of This Raging Light’s first cover! 😉Thank you for your input, by the way!

The Bloodlines series is a spinoff series of Vampire Academy starring Sydney and Adrian. It was pretty good, as a whole. While I love hearing about new books, I love talking about the oldies I’ve read as well! 😁

I’ve read the House of Night series, and I liked it until a certain point, like around book 10… And I haven’t read the Morganville Vampire series yet. Is it any good?

I read house of night same like you about book 10 And lost interest and the Morganville vampires was actually very interesting and fun to read. I read it up to a certain point to and kind of got stuck on another genre never went back. I might pick it up again tough. They are pretty good.

I’ll be sure to check out the Morganville Vampires and see what they’re about! As for advice on gaining followers, it’s mostly just keep blogging and they’ll eventually come. Another thing to do is share your posts on different sites, like Goodreads, bookseller sites, social media,etc. That way , you make it more possible for people to check out your posts. But more importantly, focus on your blog and have fun with it! 🙂
