Paperback Covers (2)

Saturday, April 2, 2011 |
'Paperback Covers' is a meme that highlights a couple of book cover changes for their paperback release. Both the hardcover and paperback cover will be shown. The new covers are on the left, while the old covers are on the right.

Elixir by Hilary Duff
Paperback release (left): June 7, 2011
Hardcover release (right): October 12, 2011

Clea Raymond has felt the glare of the spotlight her entire life. The daughter of a renowned surgeon and a prominent Washington DC politician, she has grown to be a talented photojournalist who takes refuge in a career that allows her to travel to the most exotic parts of the world. But after Clea’s father disappears while on a humanitarian mission, Clea’s photos begin to feature eerie, shadowy images of a strange and beautiful man—a man she has never seen before.

When fate brings Clea and this man together, she is stunned by the immediate and powerful connection she feels with him. As they grow closer, they are drawn deep into the mystery behind her father’s disappearance, and they discover the centuries old truth behind their intense bond. Torn by a dangerous love triangle and haunted by a powerful secret that holds their fates, together they race against time to unravel their pasts in order to save their lives—and their futures.


Extraordinary by Nancy Werlin
Paperback release (left): September 20, 2011
Hardcover release (right): September 7, 2010

What does it mean to be extraordinary? Phoebe finds herself drawn to Mallory, the strange and secretive new kid in school. Soon the two girls are as close as sisters . . . until Mallory’s magnetic older brother, Ryland, appears. Ryland has an immediate, exciting hold on Phoebe—but a dangerous hold, for she begins to question her feelings about her best friend and, worse, about herself.

Soon she’ll discover the shocking, fantastical truth about Ryland and Mallory, and about an age-old debt they expect Phoebe to pay. Will she be strong enough to resist? Will she be special enough to save herself?

What do you think of the new paperback covers?

Love both paperback covers. I didn't care for Elixir but the paperback cover conveys the story a bit better than the flower. Extraordinary's paperback cover is much better than the original.

I feel the opposite. I like the originals better. Especially for Extraordinary because it looks more fairy tale with her crossing the boundary into the forest. I love covers that seem to be in motion. There just an energy that comes out of the picture that makes you want to pick up the book and read it.

I like the hardcovers on both of these books better. There is something about the obscurity of both of them that leaves me wanting more.

Oo the new cover for Elixir is a lot more interesting (and less Georgia O'Keeffe...ahem) than the original. I think I prefer the original cover of Extraordinary though -- it's got a kind of fantastical feel to it. And it's pretty =D

I actually like the paperback versions of both these books better. More contemp.
