I recently spotted The Replacement Wife by Eileen Goudge (Open Road Media, 2012) which reminded me right away of Until the Real Thing Comes Along by Elizabeth Berg (Arrow, 2003). As it turns out, there’s also an exact match for the first cover: Life Is a Melody by Betsy Munson (AuthorHouse, 2008).
And while I’m on the topic of hanging white dresses, here’s another trio of them for you:
These are: Cennet Yolculari by Ayşegül Işık (2011), Mennonites Don’t Dance by Darcie Friesen Hossack (Thistledown Press, 2010) and Sinuciderea fecioarelor (the Romanian translation of The Virgin Suicides) by Jeffrey Eugenides (2005).
I can’t say that any of these covers appeal to me very much, although I am curious about Mennonites Don’t Dance... What do you think?
The photo in the second set is very creepy looking!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it when covers are similar, but when they use the exact same image, it bugs me.
ReplyDeleteLove the first set, The Replacement Wife is my fave. The second set is just a little too creepy for me.
ReplyDeleteMy jaw always drops when you do this feature -- it's amazing how little variation there is in these stock photos! (when they're used, I mean!)
ReplyDeleteThat second set is almost too much! At least TRY to make it look different, ya know?
ReplyDeleteThe second series definitely has a spooky feel to it.
ReplyDeleteI like the second set of covers - the first set is too static for me.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, though, too-similar covers bug me. I love this feature and hope you do many more.
Unbelievable! (I am a fan of Elizabeth Berg.)
ReplyDeleteThat cover of the Romanian translation of the Virgin Suicides is so beautiful. This feature on your blog always reminds me that book covers are truly art.
