If there is one thing that makes a great book even better, it is when it has a cover that we love! The cover design is what catches the eye as we browse through a bookstore shelf or check out the Amazon or Goodreads recommendations. The right cover makes me look closer at a book, to read the blurb and maybe make a purchase. A poor cover might mean I never look at the blurb at all.

Today, I'm looking at some of the great land and sea dinosaur, and extinct deadly animals covers! This is part one, part two following next week. Have you read any of these? Do you have them on TBR or wishlist, or are you tempted by any of them?
Beck's Primordia series sounds kind of interesting but I had enough issues with his Alex Hunter books that I'd be hesitant to dive back into him.

Primordia was a decent set of dinosaur books for me-I still have the third one to read. I also liked his megalodon book. I haven't tried the Alex Hunter books yet but I will at some point.
DeleteI like both Crichton covers. The color scheme on Jurassic Park is a good one, and Landing Party successfully uses the same combination
ReplyDeleteI always loved that Jurassic Park cover! It's the cover of the book I have which is a bit well read now and needing replaced!
DeletePut a dinosaur on the cover and that's a book I'm going to pick up. :D
ReplyDeleteI can never resist dinosaur covers. I just finished with The Found World and found it a bit disappointing which is a pity.
DeleteOH MAN!!!!! LOOK AT ALL THOSE BEAUTIES!!!! I want one of everyone of them LOL

Dinosaur covers rock!
DeleteI love DMZ, Saber Tooth and Devour. Lots of good looking books here.
ReplyDeleteSaber Tooth is a really striking cover. I keep meaning to look for the sequels...
DeleteI've read some of these and have some yet to read. Now I see more to add to my list!
ReplyDeleteI hate to mention this but parts two and three will be coming over the next two weeks!
DeleteLOVE all of these covers!! :)
ReplyDeleteDinosaurs make great covers!
DeleteSo many interesting covers, but nothing compares to Jurassic Park! <3
ReplyDeleteI think I need a new copy as mine is a bit well read-but only if I can get the same cover!
DeleteI read some Kathryn Meyer Griffith a long time ago and loved her. I should read some more by her as I think (from memory) that she was a really good horror writer. Some great covers here!

I read a vampire book of hers that was decent but I did find her dinosaur book a bit slow to get into the story.
