I don't think commercial or artistic covers are inherently better; the goal should be to communicate something unique and intriguing about the book. It doesn't hurt if they're also attractive and not embarrassing to read in public. (But more illustrated YA covers would be nice.)Leah Goodreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09729913466141545063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007969087249548859.post-34955829741650219622013-06-06T09:39:37.175-07:002013-06-06T09:39:37.175-07:00I like all of these covers.

I'm especially drawn to the BUBBLE WORLD cover--that alone makes me curious about the book. And the last cover reminds me of the adult novel DISCOVERY OF WITCHES, which I believe was quite popular. Hopefully these covers are a sign of new trends to come, because I like them!jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11836433216709149353noreply@blogger.com
