    Exactly my thoughts. Love the symbols, The Hunger Games covers are my favourite 🙂 And the Divergent ones of course.
    Hate to see Kristen Stewart on the covers hugging and kissing random people 😀

      Me too. But I havn’t read divergent yet!
      And it really gets on to my nerves to tolerate Kristen in the movies only, let alone the covers! 😉
      Thanks for stopping by 🙂

    The silhouette ones are great! And oh! I so agree about the cheesy/lusty couples – and there’s so many of them!

      Yea! It’s really a turn off and also, it gets really embarrassing to read such books around people (even if the story is good and far from what’s on the cover!)

        Haha! Yes! But that’s the joy of a Kindle – you can read any old trash and pretend you’re reading Dostoevsky…no-one will ever know! 😉

          Hahaha! So true! 🙂
          I too read all the “sad cover books” on kindle itself! Saves the embarrassment!

    I love beautiful book covers and I agree about the silhouettes they’re great. Like you I’m not to keen on the ballgowns and cheesy couples, models. Do you like the Taherei Mafi Shatter Me covers ? I think they’re fantastic.
