I love the frog, and the dreamy look on her face is so fitting. It makes me curious about the story. Dreaming Awake just says to me 'another sad girl in a fancy dress' and what is up with the giant rose petals? Does not grab my interest at all.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416898799044848769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-81590303252067292342012-05-05T23:52:21.275-04:002012-05-05T23:52:21.275-04:00Both are pretty covers, but I love Enchanted more!...Both are pretty covers, but I love Enchanted more!

I like both. I like Enchanted because how the girl is sleeping is very funny but my vote is for Dreaming away.

So, Dreaming awake is a little cleaner, and that's the one I'm going to pick.Secretly_Samushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441898393809173172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-41778223615976706772012-05-04T11:09:32.296-04:002012-05-04T11:09:32.296-04:00Dreaming awake.

YES I CAN!<br /><br />Enchanted gets points for the dreamy kind of fairytale-y feel it gives off, with the cream-ish tinge to the dress as well as the garden in the background and also the title text. Also, I prefer the pose; the model looks so cute. :)<br /><br />What Dreaming Awake does better IMO is it's not as crowded. It seems to feel more sophisticated, by the striking contrast of the red petals (?) and the white dress. Also, the title is bigger and I don't know, I like the composition more, in general.<br /><br /><b>I'll go with Enchanted</b>, because it makes me feel happy when I look at it.Casshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07568646164849243366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-19229784692763015802012-05-04T03:27:25.448-04:002012-05-04T03:27:25.448-04:00Lol.

I've seen a bunch of people talking about these two.<br /><br />Let me first say that I think both covers are lovely and well done (although I'm not in love with the expression on the model's face on DA.)<br /><br />It's a little bit cheating, but I have absolutely no desire to read DA and I've already read (and VERY much enjoyed) E, so I DEFINITELY pick that one. <br /><br />BUT- Even without knowing what the two are about, I straight up just frakking LOVE the cover for Enchanted. I mean, like, whoa. So much so that the cover, when paired with the fact that it's a freaking Frog Prince retelling (/mashup) made it my NUMBER ONE MOST anticipated 2012 release. So... Ya.

LOL! <br /><br />My vote goes to <i>Enchanted</i> because we see more of the dress. I also think that if both were photo shoot products on <i>America's Next Top Model</i>, <i>Enchanted</i> would get an early call out and <i>Dreaming Awake</i> would be in the bottom two. Does that count? LOL!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
