Hello all! For Friday Fives today Paper Hangover asks, what five book covers are you currently lusting over?
1. Freaky Green Eyes by Joyce Carol Oates
The green eyes on the cover are freaky. They make me wonder to whom do they belong?
2. A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
Okay, not the most interesting of covers, but I like this one for superficial reasons. I like the color- Tiffany Blue!
3. Self-Help by Lorrie Moore
A cover with a bunch of medication? Makes me think the people in the stories may be crazy enough to need meds, which makes them interesting, which makes me want to read about them.
4. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
A man in the middle of two women. There’s tension on the cover alone!
5. The Falls by Joyce Carol Oates
I like this cover because it’s so mysterious. If I saw it in a bookstore I would probably be drawn it it immediately.
Are there any book covers you’re currently lusting after?
Aw man! I'm so mad I left out Freaky Green Eyes, I LOVE that cover. And the book was ah-may-zing. And Big Mouth & Ugly Girl is on its way to me–can't wait to read it! Great choices for your others, too. The Self Help one is really cool.
Raquel- these all look really cool. There is so much going on in each of these, they would definitely compel me to read the books.
Tiffany blue, ahahah! And I love the abundance of green on The Other Boleyn Girl. Gorgeous picks!
Cool choices! I really like the Freaky Green Eyes one–and also the Goon Squad. In fact, I've heard great things about that book so I may just check it out. ๐
Thanks for sharing Racquel ๐
I love these covers. I haven't read Joyce Carol Oates in a while…I should start reading her work again.
Thanks for the comments everyone!
Pam- yes, I haven't read it yet, but it's on my shelf. She's a great author and I can't wait to read this one because I've also heard good things!
Medeia- you definitely should! I'm kind of obsessed with her work. Lol. ๐
I love Jennifer Egan cover. It catches my eye every time. Coincidentally, it's on my TBR because of the wicked awesome title.
