Cover Lust is something that I do every other week where I feature a book cover that I absolutely love!
Why did I pick this cover?
A contemporary novel about two best friends who must make tough decisions about their futures--and the TV show they host--in their senior year of high school.
Every Friday night, best friends Delia and Josie become Rayne Ravenscroft and Delilah Darkwood, hosts of the campy creature feature show Midnite Matinee on the local cable station TV Six.
But with the end of senior year quickly approaching, the girls face tough decisions about their futures. Josie has been dreading graduation, as she tries to decide whether to leave for a big university and chase her dream career in mainstream TV. And Lawson, one of the show's guest performers, a talented MMA fighter with weaknesses for pancakes, fantasy novels, and Josie, is making her tough decision even harder.
Scary movies are the last connection Delia has to her dad, who abandoned the family years ago. If Midnite Matinee becomes a hit, maybe he'll see it and want to be a part of her life again. And maybe Josie will stay with the show instead of leaving her behind, too.
As the tug-of-war between growing up and growing apart tests the bonds of their friendship, Josie and Delia start to realize that an uncertain future can be both monstrous...and momentous.
Why did I pick this cover?
This cover just fits the book well. Both Josie and Delia are on the cover and it slightly shows the reader the studio they make their show. The color scheme is wonderful and it kind of gives a sad and happy feel to the cover which sounds odd, but this is a book that is both sad and happy. I also love that the dog gets to be on the cover too (and that he is a basset hound!).
What are your thoughts? Tell me in the comments!
I agree that the colour scheme is lovely for this cover, and any book cover with a dog on it? Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same when it comes to dogs on the cover of books!
