Top Ten Covers of 2011

These are in no particular order, I like all of the Top 10 equally!

1) Wither by Lauren DeStefano- We've all noticed and bragged about it but this was the year of pretty dresses and I think Wither has one of the prettiest I've seen. I love everything about this cover from the deep blue color to the bird trapped in a small cage.

2) Nightshade by Andrea Cremer- This old cover is wild and fierce and gorgeous. I see what Shay saw when he talks about Calla and I really like that. Plus, the blood spattered lilies are wonderful!

3) The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin- Mara is one heck of a dark novel and I feel like this cover represents that. Something dark is dragging Mara down, threatening to drown her. So stinking pretty!

4) Die for Me by Amy Plum- Though I own this novel, I haven't gotten a chance to read it yet. I fell in love with the deep wine color of this dress and the Eiffel tower peeking out in the background.

5) Silence by Becca Fitzpatrick- I was so excited when I saw this cover because Patch and Nora were finally featured together. I love the dramatic pose with the water in the background.

6) Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma- I'm pretty sure this cover should be on everyone's list. When I go into a bookstore that color blue still jumps out at me on the shelves. I love everything about this one!

7) Shatter Souls by Mary Lindsey- Oh my goodness, this cover is just breathtaking. Another dress cover but with the gorgeous twist of making it fade into flowers. I love the model's pose too.

8) Hereafter by Tara Hudson- This is an almost dress cover. Everything from the coloring to the background makes this cover stunning. I'd have loved to see what the dress actually looked like.

9) Tris and Izzie by Mette Ivie Harrison- Sadly, I've heard this novel doesn't match up to it's amazing cover but man, this cover is beyond beautiful. I want to live on that lake!

10) Unearthly by Cynthia Hand- This cover is just so graceful which fits since it's an angel novel. The picture does it no justice because in person there is silver foil on the lettering.

Honorable Mentions:

11) The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter- This chick makes laying in lush green forest oh so fab! I love the Greek like design around the novel and the model's pose.

12) Fury by Elizabeth Miles- The burning orange hair mixed with the yellow lettering and deep but muted green bow make this cover completely captivating.

13) The Space Between by Brenna Yovanoff- This looks so lush and dark like a fairytale go wrong which is perfect for a Yovanoff story since that's what she writes!

14) Juliet Immortal by Stacy Jay- I love the girl on the edge of the cliff with the bright pink/red dress. It's so beautiful and represents Juliet's plight.

These are most definitely some of my favorite covers of this year. I'm sure when I pop around, I'll see a bunch that I missed but as of right now I'm very happy with these choices! What covers did you love in 2011?
