Judging Books by Their Covers #6: Grass & Trees

Judging Books by Their Covers is a feature I do every once in a while to showcase some book covers. Each post, I choose one category and some book covers that fit into that category, and talk about whether or not I like those covers. You can read some earlier posts in this feature here.

Wow, there are a lot of books to this theme - I wasn't expecting that many! I'm not sure about these covers. I like the ones that have something to do with the story, like Catching Jordan, Stealing Parker, Going Underground, and Jumping Off Swings, and some of these have an awesome atmosphere, like The Little Woods and All Unquiet Things. And some of these are just plain beautiful, like Meant to Be and Nothing Like You. But I think it's gotten a bit much - some of these are kind of boring and don't really say anything about the story.

What do you think of this cover theme?

If you have any other cover themes you'd like me to feature, let me know in the comments!
