Looking at pretty covers might be the moment of zen we need this Monday.

Amanda: Yes to all of this
Susan: Oh that is BEAUTIFUL.
I love the neon look!
Amanda: I think we featured this on sale and it’s about superheroes!
Sarah: Wow that’s gorgeous and visually enticing.
CarrieS: Speechless.
Catherine: It’s just luminous. I love it.
Sneezy: Me too!!! It’s so magical, urban, and cute all at once!!! The snowflake at the bottom gave me yummy shivers!!!! Like it’s cold out, but I’m all toasty inside with the best cup of hot chocolate.
Amanda: I’m obsessed with this art style and it HAS A CORGI.
Sarah: I read this book!
Amanda: Was it good?
Thinking about putting in a library hold.
Sarah: There were things I loved about it, and things I thought could be done better, but as a mystery and as an immersive reading experience, it was pretty solid.
Poppy and her dog kick ass. The cover is a great match to the book itself.
Charlotte B: Woman having adventures with her dog is my aspirational lifestyle.
Carrie: That cover is creative, full of energy, different, fun, and it tells me what the book is about – yes we wants it, Preciousss!
Elyse: Puppy!
Sneezy: I, too, would like a pupper to be badass with.
Amanda: I think we featured the first book previously and the sequel is just as gorgeous.
Catherine: Oh, that is just gorgeous! I love the colours, and the string, and the dress, and the sense of movement, and really just everything about it.
Sarah: this is one of the covers that makes me want to read the story to find out more about the image and what the pieces of it mean.
CarrieS: I love the swirling motion.
Sneezy: Yes!!! It’s such a romantic and BAMF swish!!! I love how this cover pays homage to its influences!!!

Claudia: That is a great cover indeed!!
Amanda: As we approach winter in New England, I appreciate how sunny and bright it is.
CarrieS: I love the touch of pink – and again, I feel like I know what the book is (more or less) about!
Sneezy: I love so much about the cover, especially the three silhouettes. They all give an impression of what the characters they’re depicting is like, and it makes me want to read the book to find out what they’re actually like!!!
That Poppy Redfern cover really caught my eye when I saw it on Overdrive. I just felt like I’d read too many “intrepid girl saves the homefront during the war” stories lately though. It’s on a mental list if I decide to go back to that genre later on.
Have you seen Heather Webber’s recent covers? I really like those.
The cover art gods certainly showered their blessings on Lola Dodge! That would have stopped me in my tracks during a bookstore browse. It’s an art director’s masterpiece.
Perhaps I goofed up, but it seems like it has been days since I received the Daily deals email.
@Gloriamarie: That’s very odd. I just received mine. Perhaps it’s been rerouted to your spam? I’m sorry about that!
I agree with SB Sarah on the Poppy Redfern. I really enjoyed the premise, although I thought the execution had a little room for improvement. That said, since it is the first in the series, I have hopes that it will continue to get better. I definitely plan on reading book two.
The cover for Well Behaved Indian Women is also a fantastic depiction of the diversity within modern South Indian women.
I’m probably being fussy but when I read the sample of Poppy Redfern I found a few phrases that wouldn’t have been used in wartime Britain. Like when described her weight in pounds (she would use Stones and pounds with 14 pounds being one stone). Maybe some people wouldn’t mind but for me it really threw me out of the novel and it was removed from my TBR pile. Great cover though.
Is the Elizabeth Lin book any good? I do like the cover, it tempts me a lot, but I still hesitate about the content.
Has any of you read it?
