Never judge a book by its cover… blah blah. I definitely judge a book by its cover! This may be a terrible practice, but I often am heavily influenced by the cover design of a new release when making book purchases. This isn’t a top 10 because I couldn’t narrow it down, so I just included any of the covers that grabbed my attention while I was flipping through the shelves. I love large text with bold colours, really graphic designs, modern florals.
Some authors have a specific style and their books are all branded the same. I like finding similar editions when I’m out thrifting (I’m such a nerd), and here are some of my favourites that I have collected:
Haruki Murakami:
Ali Smith:
Zadie Smith (she has the best cover designers!!):
Aldous Huxley:
Does anyone else have any favourite covers?? I’ve got a bunch of favourite sci-fi covers as well, but I’ll do that post separately because they deserve their own spotlight haha.
As a writer who does her own cover design, I found this very interesting. And my favorite cover is one of my own. It was a second attempt, since the first one (using my own photograph) fell flat. Here’s the link to it: https://leatassiewriter.com/doubleimage/
Very cool! I love super graphic covers. ❤️
