Top 10 Tuesday (1)- Top Ten Covers I Wish I Could Redesign


So I've never done a Top 10 Tuesday before but I saw the topic and I was like... Oh I have to do this one! There are so many epically bad covers out there and it's time I share the ones that make me cringe the most! Thanks to The Broke and the Bookish for hosting Top 10 Tuesdays!

#1 

White Cat by Holly Black actually the whole series. I adored the first cover and the books and then Simon & Schuster made this disco ball 70's theme with the series and all I want to do is vomit!

#2


Across the Universe by Beth Revis. I adored the very first cover! This series has had so many makeovers I actually got whiplash!

#3

The Immortal Rules by Julie Kagawa. Another series I love and I loved the original cover!

#4

Crewel by Gennifer Albin. I loved the original cover it was so vibrant and colorful!

#5

The Shade Series by Jeri Smith-Ready. Another series I adore and I loved the original covers. I think this was another fail from Simon & Schuster.

#6
Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood. The original cover was so stunning! I'm still scratching my head as to why Penguin Teen changed this one.

#7

Stolen Away by Alyxandra Harvey. This book was an ok read but it did deserve a better cover. They tried with the paperback edition and it is a bit better. But still not great.

#8

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer. I really, really loved the first cover and this was an epic fail in redesigns.

#9

Delirium by Lauren Oliver. Hated this revamp the original was soooooooo much better!

#10

The Hollow by Jessica Verday. I actually still have this one on my bookshelves and it reminds me of the Pretty Little Liars opening scene she looks like a doll. I also have the new paperback that was for once in my opinion the right redesign from Simon & Schuster.

So what do you think? Do these make you cringe as much as me? Let me know!

This was kinda fun I may have to do Top 10's more often!

Jaime's Review of The Hidden by Jessica Verday



From Goodreads
A love that knows no bounds. 

Abbey knows that Caspian is her destiny. Theirs is a bond that transcends even death. But as Abbey finally learns the full truth about the dark fate that links her to Caspian and ties them both to the town of Sleepy Hollow, she suddenly has some very hard choices to make. Caspian may be the love of her life, but is that love worth dying for? 

Beautifully spun, emotionally gripping, and irresistibly romantic, The Hidden will leave you breathless.

Jaime’s review….

I couldn’t wait to read The Hidden I was super anxious to find out how Abbey and Caspian’s story would end and Jess delivered! I was also sad because this has been a favorite of mine and it’s hard seeing something you’ve spent so much time with come to a close. With that said I can say it was the most beautifully written ending I could have imagined. I laughed, I cried, and when I went to sleep that night I had a smile on my face.

The Hidden started pretty much where The Haunted left off which was a very good thing since we were left with one hell of a cliffhanger. This book had action but it was more about Abbey learning to trust herself and her feelings for Caspian so she could do what needed to be done to be with him forever. It was also about learning to let go and move on. Her love for her best friend Kristen seemed to hold her back but, through a new character in this book Cyn; Abbey finds out how to get what she wants and also give back to the people she cares about.

The story wraps up all the loose ends which was kind of bittersweet. I’d love to see a spin-off of the Revenants or Nikolas and Katy. I also loved how we finally found out Caspian’s connection to Sleepy Hollow. This was one of my first ghost stories and it will always have a soft place in my heart. It will most likely be re-read a few dozen times as well ;) Take it from me if you haven’t read this series October would be the perfect time to pick it up Ghosts, Sleepy Hollow, Death, and Halloween? What could be more perfect? If you’ve read the first two books and have The Hidden on your TBR what are you waiting for? Move that baby up to the top of your pile!!!! Oh and also go visit Jess Verday’s website she’s got all kinds of cool stuff on there like links to buy Abbey’s perfumes :D

You can buy The Hidden at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your local bookstore. Happy Halloween and Happy Reading!!!!!
