Hi guys! How are you? It’s the time of the year for best of the year list and I’m EXCITED! I have a few posts planned for this week, starting with my favorite book covers. I’m genuinely impressed with myself that I’ve only cover-bought like five of these, I’m counting that as personal growth. Now let’s look at some pretty covers!
DREAMY PASTELS
Reign of the Fallen / What We Were Promised / This Tiny Perfect World
PRETTY FLORALS
Tyler Johnson Was Here / The Queen of Hearts / Always Never Yours
BROWN GIRL MAGIC
The Serpent’s Secret / Amal Unbound / Aru Shah and the End of Time
DELICATE ILLUSTRATIONS
All Out / The Hazel Wood / Fierce Fairytales
INTO THE SEA
The Surface Breaks / Sea Witch / The Gloaming
A TOUCH OF GOLD
Sky in the Deep / The Queens of Innis Lear / Girls of Paper and Fire
These are lovely covers. You have good taste.

I think YA books have better covers than adult books.

I love the way you organized this! I was so underwhelmed by The Queen of Hearts but that cover is one of the best of 2018 for sure.

Thank you so much! I’ve heard a lot of people say that, so I’m grateful that wasn’t one of my cover-buys. It’s stunning though!

These are gorgeous covers! I think the pastel and illustrations ones are my favourite but the others are just as delicious. I know I shouldn’t judge a book by the cover but these are just too yummy to pass up…. those designers know what they’re doing!

Definitely would find it hard to resist Sea Witch and Girls of Paper and Fire. I think they’re so gorgeous! As it turns out, I thought Sea Witch was great and I’m really looking forward to Girls of Paper and Fire!

This post is so gorgeous! You always have the best taste in covers.
I’ll confess that most of the books I bought this year was just because of the cover. I can’t help myself lmao.

Sky in the Deep has one of my favorite covers even though I didn’t like the book itself. That lighting! Anyway, long-haired girl with dramatic lighting (SitD and Girls of Paper and Fire) is a cover trend I support and probably the only time I’ve ever liked covers that only had a face on them.
Also, The Hazel Wood is so pretty! I almost want to read it just because of that.

Yes! So intense and dramatic! Definitely the best version of “face on a cover” I’ve seen. I love the cover for The Hazel Wood, but the book I’m more ambivalent about. It’s pretty good, but I wanted way more creepy fairytale vibes from it!

Thank you! I feel the same way, we can’t help being drawn to beautiful things! But I sometimes wonder about all the books I’m missing out on cause their covers didn’t capture my attention… Probably good for my tbr, haha.
