Framing Friday #2

Framing Friday is a weekly meme hosted by me.  I had this idea of book covers as art and decided to share which book covers I'd like to frame and hang on my walls....

This week's book cover is Ink Exchange by Melissa Marr:

This cover is just beautiful; when I first saw this book cover I thought that the girl was either an angel or a fairy....I loved the purple tones which symbolise the tattooist's ink and the way the wings and tattoo are the main focus and the girl is looking over her shoulder.

Framing Friday

So, I was in my local Waterstones (book shop) this morning when I caught a glimpse of a book cover which was so hauntingly beautiful.  I toddled over to this book and as it would happen the synopsis on the back cover did nothing to interest me so I didn't buy it but it did get me thinking about book covers which are so artistic that I wish I could take them off, frame them and hang them on my wall - that if I didn't so strongly object to defacing a book - anyway I've decided to do this weekly thing where I post a book with a cover that I want to frame and hang - hence Framing Friday.  Feel free to join in if you want just leave a comment and a link to your blog (if you have one) so that I can check out what book covers you would put on your wall....

My pick for this week is the cover to Fallen by Lauren Kate I just absolutely love this cover, it's so gorgeous.  The dark colours, the profile of the girl with her face in her hands, the ominious forest trees in the background which hint at something sinister.
