Awesome we have a few of the same covers, a few I would have loved to added if only I owned the book first.

Gorgeous covers!! I was so close to putting The Girl in the Steel Corset on my list! Here’s my list.
I had never seen the cover to exiled. It is so pretty!
Steel Corset is definitely up there is the beautiful covers list. I’m not 100% sure if I like or hate the cover of Shatter Me.
Gah, I haven’t read any of those. My favorite cover up there is Deadly cool.. so pretty. Exiled… some days I love it, and some days it’s eh. lol
Wow! Awesome covers! They are totally the top book covers!
Extensive list you have here! wow Cover Love definitely! love your picks!

I love your covers. I nearly put Shatter Me on mine because it is so beautiful but I didn’t. Thanks for stopping by Better Read Than Dead.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and The Girl in the Steel Corset covers are amazing. I want to read them based on the covers and titles alone.
Great list, I should have added Abandon to my list…

Great list! I actually love Mara’s cover, even though it’s not on my list <3 Thanks for stopping by!
I love all these cover except the last one.. that one seriously creeps me the heck out.
don’t get me wrong.. I love butterflies. But they are all up in her fro like whoa! they are probably all fluttering, and filling her with static electricity. I bet they are leaving rainbow poops on her. *shudders* lol
IMO, the most eye-catching is NO. 2; most elegant No. 7 and most unusual No. 10… but they’re all special in one way or another.
I wish you could see my cover for DREAM REACHERS II, with the lovely step-mother of Al Pacino adorning it. We used a photo of her reaching for the stars (symbolizing her dreams) taken by cinematographer Mario Prado. I think it’s very special. If you’d like to see it, visit the Amazon page to see what the hub-bub is about. 🙂 http://tinyurl.com/3gdw4gz
Our first Dream Reachers cover won the coveted Covey Cover Awards in June of 2010.
Thanks for listening,
