Feature and Follow #13

Feature & Follow is a weekly meme hosted by, Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week, each host will have their own Feature Blog which allows them to show off more new blogs! It is a fun way to keep in touch with fellow bloggers, meet new bloggers and gain new followers. 
This Week's Question
What is the worst cover of a book that you’ve read and loved?
Answer:  I hope Cheree won't kill me for this but when I first saw the cover for Shadows, her book which she requested that we review, I was so tempted to say NO. Good thing I got over that because I totally ended up enjoying this fantasy fairy-tale book and I am excited for book 2 to come out. 
Now I did tell Cheree that the original cover doesn't do justice to her story, not that it was bad but the one below looks like a dreamscape kind of art that might not get the response she wants for her book. Happy to report that the cover art has now been updated and this has been archived.

  1. Oh I will have to check out this book. I have to admit that cover doesn't make me want to read it either. But it is great that the content is worth it. Happy Friday Braine!

  2. Hi,
    Thanks for visiting and following me. I'm following you back on Linky.

    I think a lot of judging a book by the cover- at least for me- is the time factor. I can't read the summary of every book that comes out. So unless I've heard of the book or author, I must admit that if a cover doesn't appeal to me, I mentally file it in a "Do Not Read" drawer in my mind. Until I read a few positive reviews.

  6. I love Faerie books, but they always seem to have the worst covers! Hopefully mine will be the exception when it finally gets released, though, I'd probably end up with another girl in a prom dress looking lost in the woods, yeesh! ;)
    Thanks for stopping by, my sweetlings! Happy Friday!

  9. The cover looks like there wasn't much time or effort put into it. Based on the cover alone, I would probably not give this book any thought.

    Thanks for stopping by my FF. New follower. :)

  10. I probably wouldn't have picked up this book either based on that cover. I'm glad to hear that the cover art has been updated, and that you enjoyed reading the book.

  14. Not the most horrible cover, but definitely not "grab-your-attention" worthy.. *new follower*

  15. A bit odd, but interesting - the cover would likely make me want to at least check out the blurb.

  18. Good thing she updated the cover then, because that ones is kind of like yikes! lol

  19. Actually, I think I like the cover you have up here better than the new that for 'Shadows' on Amazon! Funny how each person can have such a different reaction to a cover... that's part of what makes designing it so hard!

  21. Aww, that's not such a bad cover!

    Here's my Follow Friday post.

  22. oh wow it does look kind of scary though, but the bad cover things happens a lot of indie authors I think. I tend to be more understanding about that, but if they happen to well-established authors, then that just makes me cringe! Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend, Braine!

  23. I guess it just goes to show that we should not judge books by their covers? hah

  25. I understand what you mean here. The cover's not exactly very appealing in a way that it'll catch your eye when you're browsing in a bookstore. :P At least the cover art has been changed already. =))

  30. That original cover isn't too fabulous, but if the story is as good as you say it is than I'm glad there is a new one. I'll have to add this to my wishlist! Old follower.
