Tuesday Twins

The covers of Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson and Wish You Were Here by Catherine Clark just remind me so much of each other. I confess that I have not actually read either of this books but every time I see the cover of one I think of the other one. They're not super-identical or anything...just very similar:


With the faces cut off just below the eyes, the bluish backgrounds, the titles that call up images of travel, the placement of the authors' names and "Author of..." statements, even the outfits aren't terribly different (they both have dark jeans and have their weight on one leg). Oh, and the titles are both pink and in similar places, and the hair is blondish.

What do you guys think? And if you spot any twin covers that you think I should feature here, let me know!

    I've never actually noticed the similarity before. Until now. It might as well be the same girl, with and without straight hair.

    Oh, and I've read Girl at Sea. It's a nice read. :]

    I'll have to look into that, then. :)
    (Also I'm not sure why this is already up - I set it to post automatically on Tuesday, and instead it posted it Monday night and said it was Tuesday. Weeird.)
