T.G.I.F. (10)




Thank Great Illustrators Fridays is a book meme created and hosted by Owl Read It.

They say don't judge a book by it's cover, but a lot of the time the cover is what draws you to the book in the first place.  This meme is to show appreciation to the artists who put their time and effort into creating the great book covers of our beloved series.

To Participate:
  • Pick a book cover you love (any book will do - released or not)
  • Post the picture of the book along with the author, publisher & the illustrator of the cover (if you can find it, if not, that's okay too!)
  • Post a brief summary of why you like the cover.  
  • Take the pic above and link back to us :)

This Week's T.G.I.F. Cover:

Betrayal by Mayandree Michel
Published: March 1, 2011
Publisher: Self-Published
Illustrator(s): Can't find a name. If you know, please tell me :) And thank you, whoever you are!

Short Summary: Where there is love and power, there is always... betrayal.
At seventeen, Cordelia is an ordinary teen with an extraordinary and frightening secret. A secret that induces vivid dreams which she not only experiences true love, but crippling fear while barely escaping with her life each night...


My Thoughts:  Despite the mixed reviews on this one (seems like you either love it or hate it), I can't deny the cover is gorgeous.  I love the gold colour scheme.  I see the Parthenon up in the clouds and lightening bolt fingers.  Daughter of Zeus, I am assuming.  Pretty cover - I am going to try out the book when I hit my "to-read" list!
