Similar Covers: Woman, Suitcase, Road...
When I spotted the cover for Leaving Unknown by Kerry Reichs on the TLC Book Tours site about a week ago, it immediately reminded me of another book, but I couldn’t remember its title (even though it was one of those books that seemed to pop up frequently in my Google Reader for a while). Then I saw the book in question mentioned in a Bookworms Carnival on Nicole’s blog, Linus’s Blanket: it was The Girl She Used to Be by David Cristofano. What I didn’t realize until I put them side by side was that the covers are almost exact lookalikes: it’s as if, after thinking it over, the girl she used to be has changed her outfit and is leaving Unknown...

It might even be the same outfit - just photo-shopped some. You have a great eye!
ReplyDeleteInteresting! The scenery looks exactly the same except for the hills on the right. Which could be photoshopped in. Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteThat road is the same!!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I hadn't considered that but you could be right. (I wasn't thinking that it was the same woman, but now I think it might be.)
ReplyDeleteNatalie, thanks for pointing that out -- I hadn't noticed! This reminds me of those "spot the differences" puzzles that used to be in the newspaper (and that were so much fun to do when I was a kid).
Jenners, definitely!
Really interesting covers. At least some effort was made to make them a bit different.
ReplyDeleteI still play those games, Avis!
It almost looks like the same road! I like the one on the right a little more.
ReplyDeleteI still enjoy those "spot the differences" puzzles too, Donna, when I come across them!
ReplyDeleteJen, I actually think I like the one on the left better -- it almost looks like a painting.
