On The Cover is a feature I am going
to do every(ish) Friday, Where I pick one book
cover that sticks out, is really interesting or just
beautiful. I think the cover of a book is very
important, it's the first thing a person sees and
some of the time it's the reason why a person
will pick a book up and read the back. I will just pick a
book that catches my eye from throughout the week.
So come on Book Cover Lovers, share with me your favourite book covers.
My Pick This Week:
Summary
Until now, high school
junior, John Keats, has only tiptoed near the edges of the vortex that
is schoolmate and literary prodigy, Gordon Byron. That is, until their
mutual friend, Shelly, drowns in a sailing accident.
After stealing Shelly's ashes from her wake at Trinity Catholic High School, the boys set a course for the small Lake Erie island where Shelly's body had washed ashore and to where she wished to be returned. It would be one last "so Shelly" romantic quest. At least that's what they think. As they navigate around the obstacles and resist temptations during their odyssey, Keats and Gordon glue together the shattered pieces of Shelly's and their own pasts while attempting to make sense of her tragic and premature end.

Have you seen any beautiful covers on your travels this week?
This cover is one of my favourites. I actually read this just because of the cover and it wasn't half as good inside, lol. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, very pretty! I love how the girl looks like she is on an old picture. You know, she is kind of blurred.
