Covers that grab me…
Apropos of absolutely nothing I just heard about these books in the YA (young adult) fantasy genre. I really, really like these covers.
Both by Carrie Jones and both currently on the NYT Bestseller List. Unfortunately I do not know who the designer is, because they don’t put that kind of info in the Amazon listing. Nor do they list the designer on the publisher’s site. I think they should! If I stop into a bookshop, and find out…I will update.
ETA: I did see these covers at Borders yesterday. They are nicer in person, with matte finish and spot gloss on the gold bits. The gold is 4 color process not foil or metallic gold ink like I thought they might be. But then, cost is always an issue even with large print runs like those Bloomsbury does. The deisgner of the covers is Nicole Gastonguay. Great job Nicole!

I’d love you to check out my new young adult fantasy and see what you think “The Pages of Lost Time”
