A cover you loved the moment you saw it

I don't even remember when I first saw this book for sale in the store...I just was so excited to find a "new" Tolkien story with a beautiful cover and I had to have it...

It's not even the prettiest cover on my shelf.  But it's one where I did love it the instant I saw it.

Your least favorite book cover on a book you love

Well, tbh, the first thing I thought of was the poor, ruined cover of my old The Silmarillion...read so many times the cover completely fell off.

Than I realized the question was mostly talking about, well, ugly covers.  And How They Kept the Faith came to mind.  Because the cover isn't that great.  It's not horrible, but it could be a lot nicer.  It doesn't really make you want to discover what story is inside.

But the story...it is amazing.  Honestly.  It's got to be a top favorite.  It's moving and beautiful and heartwrenching and just...AHHHH

A cover you love on a book you hate

Okay, first off, I don't hate The Fiddler's Green.  I just...didn't like it.  Not a single thing of it.  The first book was entertaining, but this one...ehhhhhhhuuuuuuu bleh.  But the cover...isn't it stunning????

A cover that makes you think of your childhood

So this is my second copy of this book, as my mom bought me a new one after I read the first one to pieces.  This was my favorite book when I was a horse-crazy youngster.

IT'S SO PRETTY!!!!

A book cover with a food item you love to eat

I practically tore my shelf apart looking for something with food on it...and this was the closest I came to "food."

I mean, salad anyone??  Salad is good.

(Though, come to think about it, I did have a cooking magazine in my magazine stack...guess I could have counted that one??)

A book cover you love on a book you love

The Silmarillion all the way!!!
