Anne thought it a good idea to do a post on cover love for summer
releases. We as readers seem to all love cover reveals and seeing what our
favorite author has next for a fantastic eye appealing novel. There are
actually few covers I despise, I find.
Rebecca chose covers from May and June. Aren't they great?
Anne chose some beautiful ones, and I love that we
have such a variety of tastes!
 |
| Note from Anne: Rakes & Roses is not CF but it is CLEAN fiction. I included it because Regency is my favorite era and the cover is gorgeous!!! |
A few of Rebecca and Anne’s were ones I
considered. I did include two from June that I simply couldn’t leave out. I think we all found that limiting the list wasn’t easy.
I learned something
about what I like in doing this because ten covers are all together...I seem to
have a theme of covers that appeal which I had never noticed: sky, prairie, and
a flare for the dramatic. I grew up in the plains of Oklahoma; The prairie speaks
of home. I’ve always loved God’s portraits that he paints in the sky. The
dramatic ones surprised even me, but they really grab the eye don’t they? The
books are meant to do that as many readers actually do judge a book by its
cover.
Perhaps you can see a pattern in the other hosts that chose
their favorite covers of summer releases?? Do you have some on the list that
are your favorites?? Perhaps you have a favorite we missed??

Thanks, Rachael and Rebecca for sharing the book love with me!!!! These are all great covers and a couple of fun ones too. I see now my to-read pile will get even higher. :-) Love you Ladies!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun post! I remember books by their covers, so it's wonderful to see so many great stories underneath their beautiful covers!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! I always feel as if I hit the jackpot when a story is as great as the cover.
DeleteI am always taken by the look of a cover. Sometimes that doesnt work out, but often the cover says a lot about the book. I do not care for the covers with half naked men purporting to be an earl/cowboy/duke!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I agree!! I'll forego the half clothes individual on a cover. I can assure you, though, that the covers here with the heroes on the front are excellent stories!!! No nakedness mentioned :-)
DeleteRachael mentioned noticing a theme when she put all her covers together and I can see it too. Lovely covers, each one! I guess I have a theme as well. I do love to see the hero on a book cover. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnne, I didn’t notice that about yours...but true. I was surprised when I put mine together what kind of cover really draws my attention. Ones that look like home in Oklahoma and home here in Maine were the top...interesting what each person ends up liking in book covers!
