Book Blog Hop ~ November 26-29

Book Blogger HopThe Book Blogger Hop, a weekly event hosted by Jen at Crazy For Books, is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word!

Post about the Hop on your blog. Spread the word about the book party! The Hop lasts Friday through Monday. If you don’t have time to Hop today, come back later and join the fun! Each week there is a new discussion question for your post. This week’s question is:

“What is your favorite book cover?”

This is not as easy an answer as I thought it would be. I don’t have one favorite book cover. I like artsy covers without a lot of big bold words. When I thought about it there are two types that will always catch my eye.

Nature scenes: landscapes, trees, animals, birds.
 
 
 
 
 

And science fiction covers with planetscapes and space ships like the artwork of Chesley Bonestell. My all time favorite cover is an album cover: Dark Side of the Moon. Just thought I’d throw that in.

    I’m with you – I love nature scenes on book covers. I don’t know why they don’t use them more – they’re timeless.

    Tee hee on the inclusion of Dark Side of the Moon. 🙂 My favorite cover dates back to 1987. Stop by to see what it is. Happy Blog Hop.

    This week’s Book Blogger Hop question WAS a tough one! It took me two solid minutes to come up with an answer!

    Which book cover did I pick? I invite you to hop over to my blog and see for yourself.

    Happy Thanksgiving Day Weekend!
