Covers

I've been following the conversation about how the cover of Liar, by Justine Larbalestier, doesn't match the way the main character describes herself. Don't we all hate that? Not surprisingly, Larbalestier herself writes the best synopsis of what went down. Well, more than a synopsis -- a good think piece, really.

The cover that annoyed me recently? The smiley girl on Paper Towns, by John Green. RPL had the darker cover, which seems more appropriate than the sunny one here at my branch.

UPDATE: the publisher changed the cover!
