Lookalikes 56

The September Sisters by Jillian Canton

The Immortal by Gillian Shields

Hmm... this is a hard one for me because I'm in about equal amounts of dislike with these covers, The September Sister's slightly more so. I think it's the yellow title and blue on blue. It's just not doing it for me. And while the colors are slightly better on Immortal I'm not fond of that business happening up on the top, just weird.

Which do you prefer?

Thanks to Yan and Tirzah for suggesting this lookalike!

  1. I don't think that either cover would draw me in at a store. Both would be books that a friend would have to rave about for me to go looking for it.

    The first one is a bit too blah and the second a bit to busy, if you know what I mean..and both remind me of the uber cheese film Titanic.

  2. The title treatments aren't great, Especially September Sisters. The Immortal holds more interest, maybe because of that strange business happening up top.

  3. I want to start singing "My Heart Will Go On" when I look at these covers. And I hate that song.

  4. These covers are too blue for me, but if I had to choose one, I think I'd go for the bottom one.

  5. I'm with Irish! Neither is a big hit with me, but I'd go with the first one if forced to choose.

  6. I don't like either even though I'm a sucker for blue covers. If I had to choose I'd go with The Immortal.

  7. Definitely Immortal. I don't know what September Sisters is about, but I've seen the cover often around the blogosphere. I've never liked it. I think you're right about the yellow title, it just lacks a cohesion.

  8. Immortal, definitely. I don't know why, but I really dislike the Sisters cover.

    If I HAD to choose between the two, I'd choose the second one.

  11. I think the September Sisters cover looks like something that got made at home by a teenager with Paint. Bleck

  12. Both are pretty, but the September Sisters is kind of tacky looking. I like the immortal better, it seems more mysterious and it's prettier, too!

  13. I personally love both a lot, esp. The September Sisters. I just think it's so cool-looking!

    It also makes me giggle to see that their first names are pronounced the same but with a different first letter- a Soundalike within a Lookalike, lol.

  14. They're a bit too monochromatic for my liking ^_^

  15. Immortal is my choice. Both blah. Neither good nor bad (there are covers that are so much worse)

  16. Both aren't great, but Immortal at least has some design to it. I feel like the first one looks dated and less vibrant. Both are not very strong.
