Obsessed With Covers #10: These Broken Stars, The School for Good and Evil

Y'all know how much I love a pretty cover. I think about...40% of the books that end up on my shelves (be they physical or digital) do so because of the covers. Call me shallow but you have to admit that a pretty, shiny cover will catch your eye faster than a dull, boring one. Two, simple rules that I'll follow:

• 1, 2 or 3 (no more than 3, though) covers per week;
• books should be new-ish; no more than 2 years old.

Oh, before I share the covers that made me drool or want to stare at them for hours and hours, I have to say something. This is a semi-original idea. Why semi? Because almost every book blogger has something similar. The only thing I came up with was the title. If by any chance there's another blogger with a similar feature with the same title, I assure you I'm not stealing your idea. I'm just THAT bad with titles. Believe me, I'd love to be smarter and have a witty name for this feature, but I don't. So, no copyright infringement/theft/steal or anything of the sort was desired. All I can say is sorry :P

So, here are the prettiest covers I've seen this week.

I love her flowing dress and the stars make the entire cover look magical.












These Broken Stars (Starbound #1) by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner

It's been a while since I've seen a truly beautiful cartoonish cover. I like the contrasts in this cover. How the white swan (and, maybe, the good girl) is on the same side as the haunted-looking castle, while the black swan is on the side with the pretty castle, bathed in sunlight. Makes me really want to read that book.
