This post got me thinking about cover colors. There has been an explosion (haha) of orange covers lately. Have you noticed? Check out their list, which I can add quite a few more to:
I love orange. It stands out so well. But maybe this one's jumped the shark. I think next summer, one of my bingo squares for the teen readers will be read a book with an orange cover. Seems like there's plenty from which to choose!
What's your take on this trend?

I hadn't noticed, but that is a lot of orange covers :)
ReplyDeleteAs a graduate of the University of Texas, you should be applauding this trend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link! And while I am getting a bit tired of orange covers, I also feel like I shouldn't complain, because at least they're not black/grey/dark blue...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, in my new books section, I have room to display ~45 books face out. So at first, I liked the orange covers. Nice spot of brightness amid all the dark paranormal covers. But I think because it stands out so much, it seems less special (or something) faster. If that makes sense.
@Jennifer: OF COURSE I am!
