Time again for another round of Old Books, New Looks,
where I feature the covers of books that have already been released and
their redesigned paperback counterpart! :) Sometimes I like the new
better, sometimes I like the old. Here's a few that I've come across
lately:
Here's my thoughts on these:
~Dark Eyes: I actually love both of these! Love the intensity of the old one, you definitely know that its an action-packed thriller from this cover, but the new one is purple (gets points for my being my fave color ;D) and I love the sort of disorienting feeling you get from looking up at the skyscrapers.
~Mercy: OH so glad they changed this cover. I really disliked the original. Drab, drab, drab. But the new one is fantastic with the luminescent gold and the birds and her upswept hair. Gorgeous!
~Misfit: New one is cool, but I have to admit I prefer the original.
~The Name of the Star: Undecided. I really love them both. Ok, maybe the new one just a teensy bit more. :)
So what do you think? Old or New?
The OLDIES vs. The NEWSIES

Mercy is probably the only new cover I like. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe new covers for Mercy and Misfit a gorgeous! For Dark Eyes I prefer the old one and for The Name of the Star I think that UK cover beats both of these :P
ReplyDeleteThe new Mercy cover is a lot better! The original cover was pretty boring!
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan of any of these covers, maybe the new Mercy and Name of the Star.
ReplyDeleteDark Eyes = Old; its more edgy
ReplyDeleteMercy & Misfit = New; it's more edgy
Name Star = Old; more haunting
GREAT shares!
Apparently I like edgy covers
Strangely, I like all the old ones with the exception of Mercy, I LOVE the new on that book!
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer all the new covers and I have nooo idea why. Usually cover changes annoy me, but I really like those. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just finished "The Name of the Star" and I own the old hardcover version. While I loved the old cover's luminescence...it's one of those subtly pearly looking ones, I think that the images on the new cover actually fit the tone of the book better!
ReplyDeleteI do not like the new cover for The Name of The Star!!! All the others are nice
ReplyDeleteKrazyyme @ Young Readers
With the exception of Mercy I like the old ones better. What's up with Misfit? It looks like they stuck that poor girl's finger in a light socket!
