I like the Seraphina-cover! It has a realy nice atmosphere. The things you mention in your post are very interesting. It was never aware of the fact that there are mostly white people on covers. I think it's annoying when the cover doesn't correspondent with the story.
...and then comes the moment that I realize I don't like covers with (mainly) faces on them very much. They kind of spoil my imagination, I think. You have probably seen a couple of different covers of The Hunger Games (for example): well, I would never have picked that book if it was for that girl looking through a bunch of leaves. The Mocking Jay-cover was much more appealing to me.

I also agree with Lacernella Rubra. I don't like movie-covers either. They give me the feeling I'm reading a book that is based on a movie and that the way characters are portrayed in that movie is the one and only way to portray them... (that's a completely logical sentence.) The best movie-cover I've seen so far is A Game Of Thrones, which didn't remind me too much of the series.

Have I every judged a book by its cover? Yes. Lots of times. Recently I saw a book in the bookshop which had a cover that was nearly identical to the cover of Eclipse (Stephenie Meyer). I hated the book immediately, without having read even the description. (I did pick it up however - and dropped it as soon as I read that it was "even better than Fifty Shades of Grey")

Anyway, here are some of my favourites:

(The dragon doesn't look very great, but I just love the combination of black and gold.)

Worst part? THE SELECTION is a bestseller. Just not that epic.

I think certain events were right, but Katniss

Spoiler (hover to show)

had been so strong throughout. I can see her grieve and I can see her need to take her time, but in the end she had to be OK. Not the same as before, but OK.
Besides that, Katniss only had kids because Peeta nagged her about it. Uhm... That does not really correspond with the Katniss from THG and Catching Fire. What happened to Prim does not help the case either.
But I guess what really disappointed me was that Katniss did not solve the love triangle herself. While I agree with the outcome, she should have been the one to make the final decision. The author makes it too easy by making Gale feel like he has failed in his one purpose, aka protecting Katniss and her family, and thus has to leave, while Peeta just presents himself to her.

Overall, I thought the final book was the weakest of them all, but still very enjoyable.

I think I realised that spoiler-thing at the moment it happened, but it was a rather chaotic scene if I remember correctly. Btw, I loved the ending of THG, I think it fitted very well and wouldn't it have been weird if it had ended like you said?

Anyway, it's always such a shame when good stories end up being told very bad, like you say about the Selection (haven't read the book, but I know what you mean). It makes you want to rewrite the book and create some epic bestselling story. 

It's possible, I don't really remember (woops ). But don't you just love Four? He's still one of my favorite book boyfriends. And after that final twist in Insurgent, I really can't wait for Book 3!

Hey, welcome back! I was wondering when I'd see you around...

Lone Wanderer, you can also get to her Goodreads via mine, I'm already her friend

And the Farseer Trilogy is amazing! Really liked it, but it is still the only trilogy of Robin Hobb I've read completely. (Do have the first book of Liveship Traders and the first two of those new ones, the Rain Wild Chronicles). Furthermore I've read the first 1.5 of the Soldier Son Trilogy and it certainly has the usual charm of Robin Hobb's stories. However, the second book is quite slow, so I haven't really gotten around to finishing yet... But oh, the magic! Do love it!

And Divergent was awesome as well... Saphira, weren't you the one who recommended it to me? Now I'm eagerly awaiting the third book.
