Series Spotlight: The Starcrossed Trilogy

     This week I wanted to try something different! I wanted to show you all one of the series that I LOVE for just the covers alone! I'm hoping they don't change them as the paperbacks come out, because I really love the way they are now! This week I chose to spot light the Starcrossed series by Josephine Angelini.



     I chose this series because every last one has an AMAZING color scheme. And the hard copies all have a shimmery finish that makes them stand out even more. But my favorite one is the cover for Goddess. I love how the green fades to blue, to purple. It looks so pretty. Lastly, there's the girl that's featured on the cover. I normally don't like girls and flowy dresses on covers, but with these novels being about Greek mythology, I think it kind of fits!

So what do you think about this series?

Series Spotlight: The Chaos Walking Trilogy

  

The Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness

Although it's a series I haven't started yet, it's one I've heard lots about. Of course, something that speaks a lot to me is covers, and these have lots to say. I think the series is a fabulous set. My personal favorite is the second one—I love the silhouettes and the background.

Series Spotlight: The Caster Chronicles

    

The Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

I think it's safe to say that this series is a bit of a blogger-favorite when it comes to the covers. There's just something mystifying and beautiful to the black-and-white shots paired with some gorgeous text. (If you want to completely nerd-out on the titles with me, look how the first word on all four of the main books is made completely differently even though it's the same word. It's too awesome for words.) As a whole, I think it's a wonderfully designed set I'd love to own.

Series Spotlight: The Chemical Garden Trilogy

Somebody clearly went to town creating these covers—the lines connecting elements of the pictures and text are just gorgeous. And of course, you've got all of those wonderfully beautiful dresses. However, my love kind of ends with the third book—does it look like a green screen to anyone else? Am I the only one who doesn't like the last cover as much as the first two?

Let me know what you're thinking!

Series Spotlight: Wicked Lovely

  

 

The Wicked Lovely Series by Melissa Marr

Guys, look at that art surrounding the titles—every little leaf and flower. I keep trying to summarize what it is that makes me love this set of books and it always comes back to that little bit of decoration. I just adore it—it complements the text of every book perfectly.

Series Spotlight: The Skinjacker Trilogy

  
The Skinjacker Trilogy by Neal Shusterman

What a gorgeous set of books! They've all got a mysterious, foggy vibe with some beautiful scenery. The difference in coloring does a great job of giving each book an individual theme, while they still have enough similar qualities to give them a recognizable look.

Series Spotlight: The Hunger Games

  

The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins

Long before this series became the phenomenon it is, I was here, applauding these covers.

These covers are, in my opinion, one of the greatest examples of continuity throughout all aspects of a book series that you'll ever find. The books correspond with each other, of course, but they all also correspond with their respective titles and with the plots and main theme of each book. They've each got their own distinct color theme (you definitely won't confuse them for one another) and they carry the same unique font that makes them instantly recognizable.

I've always been a fan, as you can see. What about you? Do you think these covers do the series justice?

Series Spotlight: The Wake Trilogy

  
The Wake Trilogy by Lisa McMann

Now I've featured Lisa McMann's books time and time again, but this series was my first cover love of hers. They've really got that unity I look for when I'm hunting down series with the titles, fonts, layouts, and coloring. They've certainly got contrast, and I think the darkness works wonderfully with the plot and themes of the series.

Series Spotlight: The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series

  

The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series by Maggie Stiefvater

Guys, guys, guys. Can we talk about the cover symmetry here?

The same forest theme. The same font. Always a wolf. Always a color theme. Even the titles are similar—you know they belong together. Really, that's true for the covers as a whole: you can take one look at any one of these and know exactly what series it belongs to. Contrasted, though, I think they're different enough as needed, and the cover of each one does a great job of displaying the plot of the book in a single scene.

Series Spotlight: The Fallen Series

      

    

The Fallen Series by Lauren Kate

Whoever the photographer for these covers was, they have amazing taste in dresses.  My favorite of the group is Rapture, I think, with Torment and Fallen a close tie for second. Anybody else wondering why Passion is the only cover that remains bird-less?
