Top Ten Tuesday : Books That are Deceiving


1.
Don't let this cover deter you from the true awesomeness of this book. 

2.
Example of when a cover is SO awesome, that you buy a not so awesome book.

3.
This Book was not what I expected at all UGH!

4.
The Only Thing that really bothered me about this cover, is that Anna, doesn't look like the Anna described in the book.

5.
I don't exactly understand, how the cover correlates with the story.

6.
Still not sure why there is a Black Cat in this and Demon Glass 's cover.

  1. I found 2 books on my TBR pile here.

    I didn't think Anna and the French Kiss matched what was told in the book much either. Maybe that is why so many Authors tend to use only parts of a scene, like show 2 lovers holding hands, but no faces. Then you can let your imagination still create the characters in your head? :)

  2. I don't think anyone knows why there is a black cat on each of the Hex Hall covers lol. Agreed with Anna and the french kiss! It's way to fluffy looking too.
    New follower also. Happy tuesday. ^^

  3. The Book Thief--I think Leisl was a person whose actions touched the lives of people she came in contact with creating a domino effect in her little world. How many hearts did she soften with her sweetness? How many lives did she make better? Why even death remembered Leisl. But if I designed the cover I think I would have put a picture of a filled bookshelf with a little girls palm pressed against the bindings, that was my favorite moment in the book. I just love it when a book surprises you in a good way, nice post today. kaye—the road goes ever ever on

  6. Yes, the cat is on the cover of Spell Bound! I hadn't thought about why it was there.

  7. Aw, too bad you didn't like Mad Love - I was almost the opposite, I wasn't crazy about the cover but loved the book :)

    And The Postmistress looks really neat - I need to check that one out.

    1. Funny how that works! I didn't not like the story, I just think I was expecting so much more from it. Personally, I would not recommend the postmistress, since it isn't even about one..

  8. Oh yes, the Hex Hall covers with the cat on them...that's a wonderful example of a cover not quite reflecting the story within! Personally, I'm hoping the cat might finally make an appearance in Spell Bound, although that might be too much to hope for ;)
