Jacket Whys has a great post about books with girls in period dress on the covers in 2009. It’s interesting that I intensely dislike reading historical fiction but love almost all of these covers.
It’s a slow month for YA publishing, but there are two standout covers this month.

Leila at Bookshelves of Doom pointed out the similarities between the covers of Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers and Leap of Faith by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. Looking at the December 08 releases, I found yet another copycat cover.

Two books released in the same month with the same cover art? If I had any photography ability I think I would make a lot of money shooting stock photos of teenagers and exclusively licensing them for YA book covers.
Oddly, this month isn’t the best month for book covers. Some of them look nice but they aren’t anything spectacular. There are a lot of series books out this month so the covers just don’t stand out. So I crown just one book this month.

*For the record, I like both of these, but the one on the left is more to my taste. |
