I like that she appears to be on a stage (from the curtains) which fits the story since it is told from death's pov.<BR/>I own the domino cover, and I don't like it.Joanne ♦ The Book Zombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369534827454703222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222342276669735176.post-79051516851791905462009-02-10T14:25:00.000-08:002009-02-10T14:25:00.000-08:00I must be weird because I kinda like the ones with...I must be weird because I kinda like the ones with death on the cover.Confuzzled Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738492612572914119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222342276669735176.post-82454395757526801182009-02-09T20:53:00.000-08:002009-02-09T20:53:00.000-08:00I haven't read this yet, but I have the first cove...I haven't read this yet, but I have the first cover.

First thing I did was to make a book cover for it or use one of the stretchy ones I got for my school books. That way I am not distracted from the contents as that is what really matters.<BR/><BR/>Great post! I have really been enjoying seeing everyone's picks.J.C.

The cover looks creepy but those picking up the book will realize that this is a story narrated by Death. And the most popular representation of Death we have so far is that creepy guy with a scythe :)<BR/><BR/>Oh goodness, I wish I have that cover.Lightheadedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15438507601416513826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5222342276669735176.post-47310764045928738382009-02-07T15:39:00.000-08:002009-02-07T15:39:00.000-08:00An interesting selection Vassily.
