Cover Curiosity: It’s a Hit

An agreeable side effect of featuring cover lookalikes is that I occasionally find a suggestion in my inbox. Today’s Cover Curiosity is a perfect example. With credit and thanks to Cindy Dobrez, school librarian and Bookends blogger (a site you should be reading if you aren’t already), I bring you a possible trend in the making (and one that I quite fancy):

Cover #1:

Countdown by Deborah Wiles

And cover #2

I Think I Love You by Allison Pearson

Side by Side:

The similarities here are pretty clear – and you’ll get no complaints from me.

Did I miss any that fit in this group?

On a related note, how do you feel about UK cover for I Think I Love You?
