Love The Cover, Gabrielle Zevin

I love the cover of Gabrielle Zevin's Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac. While the cover design doesn't really give you much of an indication as to what the story will be about, it is very pretty to look at. And anyway, the title Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac sums up what the book is about nicely!

I wish my hair fanned out like that. Doesn't it make you want to go lie out in the sun?

The book was also printed with a different cover, typewriter keys. Which is probably more fitting to the story but not as please to my eyes.

Which cover do you prefer?

  1. I think I prefer the cover with the girl. I wish my hair fanned out like that too. It's too short, however.

  2. I think they're both beautiful, but I have a thing for typewriter keys...

    Sometimes I do judge a book by its cover. I almost bought Why I Let My Hair Grow out by MaryRose Wood for its cover alone, and then I found out she's an awesome writer in general:

  3. I actually like both...maybe the typewriter keys slightly more.

  4. I haven't read the book, but I like both covers. The title sounds a little more heavy, though (then again I don't know because I haven't read it), so I'd go with the typewriter keys. This is definitely on my TBR list, though!

  5. I like the first cover more it's so much prettier I gotta say
    I still haven't gotten around to reading this book, I really should especially since I really liked Zevi's Elsewhere.

  7. Pretty pretty covers. Personally, I liked the keys more than the girl. Although, I also wish my fanned out like that!

    Also, I tagged you in my last blog. http://caprubia.blogspot.com/2009/01/bookshelf-meme.html

  9. The first cover (girl with hair fanned out) has a better feel for the title. I like that one. :)

  10. I like the cover with the girl in it! The colors are cool!

  11. I like the darker cover; the one with the girl in it makes it look more chick-lit-y, and the other one looks more like a book I'd be likely to pick up :-)
