We here at teen blog frequently notice book cover themes recurring, so we thought we’d highlight some as and when they crop up (similar and related sort of to Title Twins). The first book cover theme to note is the 19th century female figure dressed either in a) impressive finery or b) something a bit more subtle. For example:
A) The Finery
The Luxe series by Anna Godbersen, a sort of 19th Century Gossip Girl, is full of rumour, intrigue, scandal and the like. Can similar things be said for Marissa Doyle’s books, Betraying Season and Bewitching Season? Quite possibly! With the added element of magic, and a change of scenery from Manhattan to Ireland.
B) Dressed Down
Note the angle of the head and all, but are A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly and the Gemma Doyle books by Libba Bray similar in any way? Well, they’re about female empowerment (can’t really say too much without spoiling things horribly), and they may or may not have similar outcomes for their female protagonists. See the Top 10 list here for similar themed books (it was in here that we noticed the chins).
Til next time.
