Why I love:
I just can't stop staring at it. I honestly, really can't. I still haven't read Code Name Verity, although I'll be fixing that soon, but this companion novel is everything I like. It's mysterious with the red scarf flying in the wind on the gate, it displays some WWII on the cover with the planes, and everything about this cover just screams pretty to me. I love everything about it and even though compared to others, it's not exactly eye-catching, it definitely catches my eye every time.
What cover are you loving this week?
This cover is very cool looking. I definitely agree about it being somewhat mysterious :)
ReplyDeleteIt's just so intriguing :)
DeleteI still haven't read Code Name Verity yet, either, but this book looks so good! I love how the sky looks, and the scarf too! :)

Yay, I'm not alone!
DeleteI like this cover because it's interesting and different than typical YA covers. And it looks good with the new Code Name Verity one. :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteI agree Sunny this cover is just gorgeous. What I like most about it is that it's so simple, but manages to get so many different messages across, I can't wait to get started on this book! :)
ReplyDeleteI cannot even verbalize the extent of my need for this book.
ReplyDeleteIts cover IS pretty. Gorgeous. It is pretty in a stark, striking way that may not be traditionally eye catching but does make you look back every time, and it is also pretty in the usual way. That scarf is a beautiful burst of color and the fence looks so simple and elegant, although I doubt the people inside of it feel that way. Great Cover Love pick, and you should get to reading Code Name Verity ASAP.
Haha! Shelver got it at BEA so I hope you get it ASAP.
DeleteI will, I will!
That cover IS gorgeous. I love WWII stories, but for some reason, I can't get on board with these books. I haven't read Code Name Verity, even though every one and their mama was raving about it last year. Hope both books exceed your expectations!
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh, everyone has been raving about it :)
DeleteThat cover is amaaaazing. I like all the different versions I've seen for it. I really hope when I'm able to read CNV that my library has it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope so too!
DeleteREAD CODE NAME VERITY! I think this cover is really evocative! That red!
ReplyDeleteI WILL.
DeleteLove it!! Can't wait to read this one, I adored Code Name Verity. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
