Favourite Covers: Redheads

Favourite covers is a feature run by the lovely Carly over Writing from the Tub, and she has kindly let me take part too.
Despite what's inside, some books can blow you away just by what's on the cover. I'm forever coming across beautiful, beautiful covers, and thought I would share them with you. Today's post, redheads!

I'm a redhead myself, but I'm pretty crap when it comes to styling hair, so whenever I see another redhead - natural or not - with gorgeous hair, I die a little at how beautiful it is! And we have quite a few YA covers with gorgeous red hair featured...

(I get that she doesn't strictly have red hair, as her skin is a little red too, but it works for this)

  3. These are all fab covers but I think my favorites are Entangled & Firelight. I always wished I was born a red head & have spent a fortune on red hair dye over the years lol

  5. Great picks! I LOVE red hair, but it's hard to find someone who pulls it off perfectly in real life (I do know a girl though...). I agree on Entangled and Firelight being two of my favorites, though I also really like the vivid red in Fallen Grace; the cover isn't all that spectacular, but her hair is.

  6. My aunt's ginger, her hair is always gorgeous! Makes me so jealous! But then she was a hairdresser, so it makes sense, lol. Fallen Grace is a definite eye-catcher! :)

  9. It's wrong, but looking at these covers makes me want to read all these books more!

  10. I don't think it matters if your act of judging by a cover makes you want to read. I think it's when it puts you off that it matters, lol.

  11. Some great covers! Another one would be Midnight by L.J. Smith.

  12. Awwww! I love covers with a theme like this. Carly's picks always makes me laugh. I quite like red hair as well, and I ADORE the covers of both Firelight and Entangled!

  13. Alex - Thanks. I've just looked it up, it's not bad!

    Michelle - I just love Carly's posts! I don't know if mine will be as good, lol. We'll see. But I love the idea, and I'm always seeing such beautiful covers! It seems there is a consensus for Firelight and Entangled!

  14. absolutely love this post. Im always saying on my book cover reviews that I love covers with red heads I mean it just looks so pretty. Their hair stands out so beautifully. One that I like a moonlight by rachel hawthorne and brightly woven by alexandra bracken. But i love the wondrous strange series covers. its so eye capturing.

    Loved that you singles out those redheads!!!
