Welcome back to Cover Awe, y’all! Let’s look at some striking covers!
Elyse: The detail is so beautiful
Sneezy: YES PLEASE!!!!!
PLEASE FALL INTO MY EYEBALLS
Amanda: I just noticed the shadowy man in the background.
Cover design by Farjana Yasmin
Maya: Whatever it is about, the movie has to star Anthony Ramos.
Claudia: I’m in love with him hahaha
Maya: He’s really good on In Treatment, too!!
Elyse: Again I love the detail.
Amanda; The color palette is so warm and inviting.
(Note: I also love looking at the cover designer portfolios and seeing other covers I’ve loved that they’ve designed.)
Sneezy: It’s so masterful the way it uses strong, vivid colours and detailed patterns.

Amanda: I love the glow effect on the dove.
Sarah: Oh what excellent use of light and accent.
Lara: The bird really steals the show.
Catherine: Reminds me a little of Erté. Just beautiful.

Carrie: Oooh that look, so noir, tell me more! I also love that slash of yellow, so exciting!
Amanda: I hope the gold is super shiny in person!
The last one looks like a Nagel poster from the 80s…..
So, so well done all of these! I feel pulled into the stories already, just by looking at them.
Off to check on shipping for them all.
I read the sample for The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea and added it to my library pull right away! Great cover, too, I hope I like it enough to own it…
Oooh, I’ve just requested The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea from the library. I *love* fairy tale inspired books, especially when they’re not the standard set!

I love that they are using Own Voices (Own Visions?) artists to complement Own Voices books. They understand the environment and context and make the covers so much more immersive.
this really is a fantastic set of covers.
fabulous covers!
I haven’t read this one, and it doesn’t sound like it’s exactly a romance, but it has a lovely cover:

The cover for The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea is so beautiful!
Reading the blurb, it reminded me of a Korean manwha I read years ago titled Bride of the Water God. Seeing as it’s also based on the same folklore, I can’t wait to read this one. The art of it was gorgeous too.
