It sets a mood I find inviting, probably because the models are smaller, allowing room for setting. It's an attractively balanced design. Thanks for spotlighting these new books.

I haven't read anything by Lorna yet so I can't wait for her book and Julie is one of my all-time favorite authors so I definitely can't wait to read her book! Wheewww there are sooo many good books coming out this year! I can't wait! But before I read any of those ones I hope to read Courting Morrow Little! ;-)<br /><br />XOXO~ ReneeRenee (BlacknGoldGirlsBookSpot)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02701232799625814028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-64277551352875457972010-02-25T09:40:01.060-08:002010-02-25T09:40:01.060-08:00Kristen, I knew, as a writer, you'd like these...Kristen, I knew, as a writer, you'd like these:) I bet you have your own cover in mind!

So much goes into a book before it reaches the cover stage and then when the art team gets the cover just right it's an extra (huge) blessing. I know you Inkspy's are celebrating, too!<br />Lorna, thanks so much for your comments about Morrow's cover. It really is the cover of my heart. If we could only find out who our cover girls are!

The colors are incredible. As for me, I think everything about Sarah's just invites you to jump in - that cobblestone walk and quaint village in the background, the man and woman walking together, the sepia tones, etc. It is just like Ruth said - fabulous! I love the expression on the cover girl's face for Making Waves. Wish I had that hat and dress! Since I worked at a lake several summers myself this series really appeals to me. As for Julie's, it is just what I thought it should look like:) I doubt there is another cover out there like it! <br /><br />And Sarah, it's such a joy to post your cover. I just love, love, love it!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-62610388286845242172010-02-25T07:11:40.175-08:002010-02-25T07:11:40.175-08:00Those beautiful covers are all important, aren'...Those beautiful covers are all important, aren't they?
