Parasols and umbrellas...

First the parasols: The Forgotten Island by Sasha Troyan and If You Lived Here by Dana Sachs—I think I like the colours of the first cover better, but the cropping and title are better on the second cover.

Next the umbrellas: At first view, these two books—Queen of a Rainy Country by Linda Pastan and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford—don’t look anything alike, but the umbrellas themselves are very similar... What do you think? Do they qualify as “similar covers”?

    Hmmm, the parasols look alike and so do the umbrellas. I'd say they definitely qualify as similar covers!

    I gave you an award here.

    Yep, I agree on both counts. I love it when people post similar cover pictures. Such fun.

    I agree with you about the first covers. For the second two - yes, I think they qualify as similar covers.

    You are the queen of same/similar covers. Another fun post.

    I agree with your comments on the first two covers! I think you should be hired at a book company!

    The first two covers are definitely similar. Isn't it funny how they latch onto a theme and run with it?
