Oh, I haven't, but are they any good? [Oh...you didn't read them either, pfft.] I read Princess Academy on chance, and found that I actually enjoyed it to some extent.
I know what you mean about the covers. My cover of the first book has a picture of a girl standing in front of something... a castle or a wall. It's boxed up, so I can't much recall it. I like the cover design in your links, though.
Aha, yes, they influence me if I don't know the book. That's why it took me, like, fifteen or twenty years to read "The Giver" --I was not interested in the picture of an old man. After I read it [thanks to a friend], I quickly snatched up the other books. It also took me a long time to read "The Hobbit" because of an ugly cover, but I enjoyed the book when I finally got around to it.
Sometimes, a cover is really nice, but the content is disappoint. Geez, that's sad.
Mhm, they're general examples of unfairness characters themselves face and examples of sexism particularly would be in the same vein. :3
Ahh, I read The Giver in 5th grade (I think) for class! I liked it enough to remember its title (I'm so bad at that.) but I haven't given it much thought since then.
And I only recently - in the last month - learned that it was a series!
My teacher didn't say anything about that! >_>
Especially in fantasy, awesome covers are often too good to be true. v_v
I had blueberry jam on a pancake for breakfast and it was very good. -3- The rest of my day didn't go as well because I was tired and so got frustrated more easily, but tomorrow will be better!
