Lookalikes 31

TMI by Sarah Quigley

Ad at a local grocery store

So I walked into the grocery store this morning is search of some healthy food and stood outside the door dumbfounded with my mouth hanging open seeing this lookalike. I went back later in the day to snap this picture.

So I'd say it's a pretty easy choice this time, the book cover is so beautiful I love the illustrations! Notice the difference in eye color, green to match the green of the cover and blue to match the blue of the ad. I wonder which is her real eye color, who knows maybe she really has brown eyes!

So (if it's even a choice) which is your favorite?

Sunny Side Up by Marion Roberts

And pointed out by Steve Brezenoff:


An Abudance of Katherines by John Green

That could very well be the same cover model!

Here's two from Deborah:

  2. The picture is so beautiful. No wonder why they used it for the cover and the ad as well. I love the book cover more of course : D

  4. Haha! Good find, the book cover looks great. I wonder what the author thinks of the cheesy grocery store ad though :)

  5. Too funny about the ad. And I'm amazed at what a good eye you have for these. I'm such a word person, I sometimes forget to fully take in the cover art.

    Boy, do you have a good eye. I would have looked at the ad and wondered why it looked familiar to me and probably wouldn't have figured it out. I like the book cover better.

  13. Remember in my last comment, where I said I didn't like photographs? Well, I like this one for a book cover. I really like this style of book cover with the top half of the face peeking into the bottom of the book cover.

    While th book cover is amazing I have to say the grocery store ad is pretty eye catching if you ask me. It definitely caught your eye right?

    So it isn't really a contest between the two but I think they both make really good use of the image.
