Top Ten Tuesday- Covers I Would Redesign

Top Ten Tuesday is a really cool original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and The Bookish.  Each week they post a new Top Ten List that bloggers join in on answering... and today (November 12th), I'm one of them :)

Today's Topic

Top Ten Covers I Wish I Could Redesign

Wow it really feels like I've been talking about book covers A LOT lately.  I didn't realize this was going to be the topic for this week and then I basically did a very similar thing in my Reviewers' Roundtable Discussion Post.  Oh well, I still like this topic so I'm going to share with those of you who haven't read my other post, plus I added a few more :)

• 1.  Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty- I had NO idea that this was a YA book for years and years.  I had seen it around, but just always assumed it was chick-lit because of the cover.  This cover does not say "teen" to me at all... and it doesn't do the awesomeness of Jessica Darling justice.
• 2.  Catalyst by Laurie Halse Anderson- I love Laurie Halse Anderson.  And I loved this book... but what is up with this cover??  There is nothing supernatural about the book, so I really have no idea how an "all seeing eye" type thing is relevant.  Oh yeah and it's ugly.
• 3.  Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead- Awkward pose of the model + she looks too much like Angelina Jolie in her younger days.  Everytime I see this I think Laura Croft.
• 4.  If I Stay by Gayle Forman- Wait what??  I don't get it.
• 5.  Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor- For a fantasy book, I'm just not feeling it.  There are SO many cool covers out there and this is just not one of them.
• 6.  Lair of Dreams (The Diviners #2) by Libba Bray- This is not out yet, and I hate it.  The Diviners is such a cool book... and this just looks like late 80's/early 90's style covers.
• 7.  Deadly Little Secret by Laurie Faria Stolarz- This is just too bland for me.  The only thing I like is the little scripty boxy thing that the title is in, that's pretty.
• 8.  You Have Seven New Messages by Stewart Lewis- So it's about dealing with grief and I get that from the cover... but I think it could be a little more creative than a girl looking out a window. 
• 9.  Sever (The Chemical Garden #3) by Lauren DeStefano- I liked the first 2 covers in this series, but what the heck is with the green??  It looks like she was taking the photograph on a green-screen like they do in the movies so they can replace the background with something, but then they just forgot?  I also don't like this cover model as well because she seems WAY younger than the first 2.  And her posture... is she at finishing school or something?

• 10.  ALL OF THESE- Ughhhh are these not SO beyond played out??

So these are the books I would want redone.  Some of them have been changed for the paperbacks (like If I Stay), thank GOD.  But still something has to be done about that almost kiss.
