Lovely Covers! I think covers are commercials for the story within kaye—the road goes ever ever on
ReplyDeleteThat's a good way of putting it, Kaye.
DeleteWow! I would definitely buy these books based on the cover art - how could I not? They rock!
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteThese are great! I especially like The Craftsman and The Storm covers. I will admit that I was initially drawn to The Snow Child for that same reason. I absolutely love the cover. I've always been sad that I didn't go into graphic design out of high school. Boo.
ReplyDeleteThe Snow Child does have a lovely cover. And graphic design - that would have been an awesome career path.
DeleteGah -- those are so gorgeous!! I'm with you -- I'd grab all of them based on cover alone!
ReplyDeleteI know!
DeleteI love these! I've seen pretty much only YA covers today, so this is like a fun treat :) I especially love The Craftsman cover, and I think I'd like to hang Swerve on my wall!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them! I think of all of them, Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig is my favorite.
DeleteThese are some amazing covers. I especially love the Wendig Blackbirds one
ReplyDeleteOMG I know. It's fantastic.
DeleteThose are fantastic! I particularly love The Storm and The Craftsman. I've also seen that Steinbeck collection at a bookstore before and I want it!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever see that one I'm going to get it!
DeleteIt's so hard not to sometimes- some covers are pretty spectacular (colourful or minimalist).
ReplyDeleteI really liked The Craftsman and The Snobs!
The Snobs is fantastic. I've got a thing for water colors used in covers.
DeleteHave you checked out Chuck Wendig's website, Terrible Minds? It's super awesome/funny and a great place for writers.
ReplyDeleteI have! He is pretty fantastic. On twitter as well.
DeleteThese are beautiful. I love the Zadie Smith cover, which is from the UK. I always find myself drawn to UK and Australian covers. I like to bookshop on vacation, just to get the different covers. I might have a problem:)
ReplyDeleteI know I've got a tendency to be drawn to UK covers. I feel like they almost always trump their US counterparts.
DeleteI love the cover for Blackbirds. I would buy that for the cover alone, to remove said cover and stick in a frame. It reminds me of a cross between Coles Phillips's Fadeaway Girls, and those images made up of a bunch of smaller images.
ReplyDeleteI know I've had my eye on Blackbirds ever since I saw the cover. The premise is also quite intriguing.
DeleteThese are so lovely - the John Steinbeck stories and the Blackbird cover particularly. Yum.
ReplyDeleteYum is right :)
