Megan Rates the Covers of Her Books

[checkers65477]

Check out today's article on the United By Pop website for a new interview with MWT and her views of some of the different book covers. The new UK covers look beautiful. Oh, and there's a very small tidbit/teaser about the progress of the Disney movie adaptation of The Thief. Definitely something to look forward to!

You can read the article here.

Thanks for the link, Checkers!

What a fun read! I have never seen the Harper UK cover before and now.... I covet...

Who else immediately IMDB'd Jim Whitaker? :-)

>i>Who else immediately IMDB'd Jim Whitaker?

I didn't. Not until you suggested it... :-)

I did a double-take at Untitled Labyrinth Project (listed as his current project), thinking that sounded potentially Maze-like, but when I clicked on it the description said: "A mythical princess searches for her father in a perilous labyrinth." So, unless The Thief film is undergoing major plot revisions, I suppose we'll still have to wait patiently and see. :)

"I almost expect that when the clock strikes the hour the little figures on the cover will trundle back and forth." Best description of these covers! I love it

I also noticed that remark: "There’s one more thing I love, but that will be revealed over time, and I’ll leave the readers to see it for themselves." Ooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

I found her comment on being in touch with Jim Whitaker very hopeful; we may get a movie adaptation out of The Thief after all. (There have been promises about movie adaptations of books before that have fallen through; ask Jennifer Crusie about that!)
I, too, am wondering about what she said in the article about what else there is to discover; is there significance to the wine goblets that I am not catching?

[checkers65477]

Leave it to Megan to be cryptic! I do feel like there's always something new to discover, either in the text/reading, or covers, or learning about the historic significance of names, places, etc.

She's pretty tricky!

[freenarnian]

Maybe there's a theme of some kind that she knows about, but it won't be evident until all of the covers are revealed?

Thank you so much for posting this, Checkers! What a fantastic article!

I love how Megan points out the best aspects of all the art - so lovely!

And I agree about the British covers!
