Hey book lovers! The year is coming to an end! I think it is time to show some of the AWESOME covers that have come out in 2011...So for the next 7 days I am going to be doing the "7 days of covers" where I will each day have a different category and show you guys my top 5 out of the 2011 releases, the different categories will be Male covers, No Person covers, Unique covers, Indie covers, Couple covers, Time for a Close Up covers, and The Girl in a Dress covers. Since I am a US book blogger, I did not include any UK/AUS covers. Also keep in mind I am mainly a YA book blogger, so these are all YA novels (:

At the end of this week I will start a new huge giveaway! International of course! So keep an eye out for that next Monday! Now lets get on to those top covers..todays catagory is easy on the eyes (;

Top 5-Male Covers of 2011

5.


Blood by K.J. Wignall- Add to goodreads here

Why this cover is in the top 5?

• First off...I mean come on...the guy is smoking hot, although I am not a huge fan of his body, his face is sooo beautiful (;
• Font choices, ah I am a huge fan of awesome fonts and this cover has great fonts to go with what the book is about
• Color Splash! AH I love color splash, but only when it is done nicely, this cover does great color splash with the font and the splats of blood 

4.

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare-add to goodreads here

Why this cover is in the top 5?

• Again I am a sucker for pretty faces, and this guy deff has a prety face
• The lighting, they added a lighting affect, where it looks like rays of light coming out of certain areas, and it looks amazing 
• The background, I love the building and old street light
• Texture, you can't tell as much in this little showing of the cover, but there is a texture added ontop of the cover and it also adds more awesome ness to this cover
• Another reason this made the top is because normally I am not a huge fan of Historical Fiction covers, they are normally pretty plain and boring I feel, but The Infernal Devices totally goes against that and makes amazing covers

3.

The Iron Knight by Julie Kagawa-add to goodreads here

Why this cover is on the top 5?

• Ash's outfit, fits perfectly with what I believe he would be wearing with being apart of the Winter Court
• The font, Iron Fey series has such an awesome font they use and it looks amazing on their covers
• Colors, I love the blue colors they use on this one, they all blend so nicely and really give this cover that 'icey' look
• Swirls, I love the swirls! The white-blue swirls look great, The Iron King,Daughter, and Queen I feel didn't look as good as The Iron Knight turned out with the swirls, of course I feel blue is a more favorite for me for covers so that may be why(;

2.

Touch by Jus Accardo-add to goodreads here

Why this cover made the top 5?

• okay..that guy.. is the most beautiful guy ever! They picked a perfect model/stock image I love his hair,  I love that he has his shirt on, I love the blue eyes, he is just beautiful.
• Font, Ah I love the big bold font, I also love how it is faded some with the background
• Overall, overall this cover is put together very nicely, I love the beautiful guy on the cover, I like that they kept his shirt on , cause it still gives it the YA look compared to Blood that looks more like an adult novel
