Favorite Book Cover?

Alrighty, ladies and gents... what is YOUR favorite book cover? I am convinced that we do judge a book by it's cover and if it sucks, errr... not buying it (unless I know it is going to be awesome :)

I have a few I l-o-v-e. Some that come to mind are:

My reading love affair

So, I hadn't been reading in ages... I missed it, longed for it, craved it. So finally, I started reading again. Why the delay? Lame excuses, of course. No time... baby eats the pages... need to do more productive things. Blah, blah, blah. So I started reading while water was boiling, while my hubby watched T.V., when I took a bath... dozens of stolen, unused moments turned into fabulous moments to escape the mundane and R-E-A-D. In the past couple of weeks I have read Torment by Lauren Kate and Matched by Ally Condie (ehem, the chick that got seven figures for her YA trilogy). Great books. I actually liked Torment better than Fallen. Per suggestion, now I am onto The Adoration of Jenna Fox. Loving life. Feel free to post suggestions.

Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

Read it, loved it. Go thou and do likewise. http://www.theinfernaldevices.com/

My 1st Challenge

Okay, so I need to put some words on paper. Motivation? Well, amazon.com is mailing me both Lauren Kate's Torment (http://laurenkatebooks.net/) and Becca Fitzpatrick's Crescendo (http://beccafitzpatrick.com/) by the end of October. As motivation, I will not let myself read either book until I have at least written 10,000 more words. Books in hand or not. No 10,000 words=no reading. Ouch. If I start posting about how fabulous the books are before I have gotten to 42,000 words... I give you permission to virtually slap me. Tough love. Okey Dokey. Here goes!
