They were perfect and all gangsterish. I really miss them!<br /><br />I liked the original cover of Crewel too, although I haven't read the book. It looks pretty good, though! :)<br /><br />I liked the originals of Shade too! I actually think that the cover model on the new ones is kind of making a creepy face. O.O<br /><br />Born Wicked looks so good! I really want to read it - but I liked the original cover as well. It was kind of creepy, in a good way. :)<br /><br />Delirium. MEH. I liked the original better - it was cool how you could see a face through the text. :) Here's to hoping Simon & Schuster will stop redesigning - they fail at it! O.O Awesome post. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807067899421221523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-52938501657660698502013-11-12T19:31:48.683-05:002013-11-12T19:31:48.683-05:00Oh your number one would be my number one if I par...Oh your number one would be my number one if I participated this week. I bemoaned that cover change when I first heard about it. Such a mistake. Those other covers were awesome and the disco cheese that became this series - which had nothing to do with the story are a hot mess.<br /><br />I'm almost the same with the Shade series covers. Also very 70s/80s feel. Those original covers rocked. I don't dislike the covers for Born Wicked and Star Cursed but that original BW cover was absolutely stunning.<br /><br />And I'm totally with you on the Nightshade covers. While a couple of them I don't mind, I freaking loved the original Wolfsbane cover. I stare at that ARC as it's one of my favorite. LOL I think I have that original cover on my twitter background.<br /><br />Great picks. Trying to think if there were any others I didn't like, can't remember... Usually just remember the ones I love.Fiktshunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427683900301365770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-86894423879913968652013-11-12T18:17:50.660-05:002013-11-12T18:17:50.660-05:00Wow those are some bad redesigns!!

They shouldn't have changed it. I guess they wanted to appeal to the YA audience more, but pictures of faces on covers tend to bore me.<br />Check out my TTT list: http://www.booksavvyblog.blogspot.com/Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12036463404379487835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450763141052086285.post-23873721009989561662013-11-12T14:09:07.964-05:002013-11-12T14:09:07.964-05:00I agree with most of these!
