This is a weekly meme created by Books by Proxy, but currently run by Lynn’s Book Blog.
“A heart – for Valentine’s day past”
This weeks theme: A cover featuring a Heart
I thought this would be a super easy theme, but it turns out there are way too many books with “Heart” in the title that don’t have any hearts on the cover! (The Heart of Betrayal, Mortal Heart, Heartstone, Don’t Cosplay with My Heart, Lion Heart, Inkheart)
My Choice: Heart of Darkness
There are over 2,000 editions of Heart of Darkness on Goodreads so I only picked the ones with hearts on the cover.
Covers:
Filiquarian 2006 | Newton Compton 2013 | Penguin 2012 | Enhanced Media 2016
Xist Classics 2015 | Debolsillo | Kombuk 2016 | View 2017

Least Favorites:
Do the cover artists not realize that this is a dark book? It is not a romance novel.
The cover on the left looks like the outline of Trump and the one on the right looks like it should be a Walking Dead Cover

This is such a fun one, I love it when there’s so many different covers to look at. My favorite’s the creatspace one in your favorites, it’s got the right, dark atmosphere. I also really love Roads editions of anything, but mostly cause their pastel spines look SO GOOD together on a shelf!

OMG the Trump cover!!!! I am dying. That is definitely his profile. Also, the cover with the candies, WTF were they thinking??? I feel like some of these are fake. LOL great choice.

Haha right?!?! And it was published this year so I don’t think it was accidental 😂 A lot of the covers are createspace and independent publishing, so I don’t know if they are necessarily fake, or just one shot random covers people created? I got them all from Goodreads which has been a reliable source in the past, but yea especially the candy cover, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is completely fake!

There are so many covers! I like your choice, though I don’t think the one that is actually my favorite is featured on here, but I saw it on sjhigbee’s blog because she chose the same book 😀

I saw that she picked the same book 😀 And she did have some I didn’t because I only picked the covers with hearts on them. There are hundreds of other covers! (and I am sure I missed some heart covers because I was going fast!)

Holy cow that’s a lot of covers !! I think I like the CreatsSpace 2016 one too and the createSpace 2018 one is nice, except it looks like a Valentine’s Day card or something lol. Definitely not a cover for a dark book I’m thinking!

Difficult to choose a favourite with so many to choose between. I like your choice though and a couple of the others. Great choice for this theme.

I agree with you about the romance like covers! That would confuse me if I didn’t know the contents but I kind of like the Walking Dead cover 🙂 I felt like a zombie while reading it so there’s that.

Haha they make no sense! And yea I don’t actually dislike that cover by itself, I just felt like it was a rip off of the walking dead a bit haha. But I agree that book zombified me too 😂

Oh my goodness, *is* that Trump?? Hahaha. So many covers! I love that some are heart shapes and some are realistic hearts. I kinda like the realism on the Basabasi one. But my favorite is the Newton Compton one, not really sure why! That Createspace one is just… so bad.

Right!!! I have to think they did it on purpose since the book came out this year, otherwise that is just too big of a coincidence!
