Some cool bookcovers

I've spent most of today being owned by a nasty cold, so no real energy for any serious blogging. Thought I'd just post a few covers that I've seen recently and quite liked.

Check 'em out, yo.

Hope you feel better -

As for The Warded/Painted Man - it's a great fun read - it's an interesting concept for having magic be more defensive - at least in the beginning and it's quite a hopeful novel - as in we don't need to be scared of the dark.; 9 March 2009 at 23:17

Thanks for the covers.
In Great Waters by Kit Whitfield aroused my attention.
So I searched for a review and found this one: SFFWORLD review
Finally I added the book to my list.; 9 March 2009 at 23:26

James said...: Ah, well if we're talking about the cover for TPM/TWM, I think the UK one is better than the US one...but I'm not overly blown away by either tbh. I think the UK cover for The Desert Spear is better than both though.; 11 March 2009 at 16:21
Todd Newton said...: Interesting. Seeing the UK cover makes me wish they'd included it in the US cover rather than "random cityscape" but oh well. I just like how they did the symbol(s).; 11 March 2009 at 16:24
