A great final run. Chosen my favourite, fingers crossed it wins!
Oooh! Don't think I'm backing the winner looking at those stats up there but we'll see :P
Great covers! I voted:)
Thanks for the entertainment - I voted! Any chance you'll be including the names of the cover artists for these finalists?
My vote still has to go to 13th Horseman cause Barry Hutchison rocks!
Had to give it to Miss Peregrine once again! It still just 'grabs' me for some reason. I know they say never judge a book by it's cover, but well...isn't that what this comp is all about?!lol
I vote Curtis Jobling. A great book x
Harder for me to pick this time...
I'm agreeing with Zac, The 13th Horseman all the way!
Miss Peregrine! Saw it at the Store the other day- and haven't been able to get it off my mind since!
Demon's Watch, definitely. It's got the clean, deliberate style of Josh Kidby, and each of the characters depicted exudes personality and individuality, which makes me want to read the book to find out more about them. The other designs are nice, but just very functional: they depict what the titles suggest they should depict, but nothing more than that.
Some really clever and impressive covers here.
Very difficult choice but Wereworld won it for me. Well done everyone
Team Wolfie! wereworld to win!
They all look fantastic!
Well I've been offline all week due to moving house and having no internet, and I'm using that as my excuse for the poor showing by The 13th Horseman. *cough*
I'm utterly amazed, though, that with this number of votes there aren't more comments. Nick Lake's In Darkness is tipped to be HUGE next year - a crossover book for kids and adults alike.
I for one would love to get my hands on a copy, but as A) I'm in the Cover Wars and B) Nick used to be my editor at HarperCollins, I'll opt out of the running for it and let one of the ten - JUST TEN! - other commenters get their hands on it.
