This is a very late #sundaysoapbox post, but here are two covers I adore. Unfortunately the photos don't do them justice but they are so pretty, I sometimes take them off the shelf just to look at them 😍
Thanks for tagging me Sherri @Eggs 💕
#sundaysoapbox lol is it too late? These are my favorite covers right now. I think they are beautiful. Obviously, I love colors! I don‘t judge a book by its cover, but I think they can draw people in. If I saw these in a book store, I‘d pick up the book! Its also lovely to have a book that also feels like a work of art. And they look beautiful on your bookshelves! 😍
#sundaysoapbox @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks cover lust
I love the stark white and designs on the Verso Books Radical Thinkers series. Plus, look at these covers for the art deco and Chicago speakeasy mysteries, and steampunk adventure!
I do not usually decide to pick up based on cover alone, though.

I'm a day late but didn't want to miss out on the fun! 😁 It would take me FOREVER to try and put together all my fave covers so here are a few recent favorites! I've especially been in love with the redesigned Lunar Chronicles covers and the redesigned ACOTAR covers. Apparently my aesthetic is bright, colorful, and preferably containing dragons! 😂📚🐉
I guess I have an eclectic taste in book covers. I‘m drawn to covers like these, but they‘re all different. 🤷♀️ A cover will certainly draw me in, but it‘s not the deciding factor for me when choosing a book. I‘ve read books I did not like at all with great covers, and books I‘ve loved with terrible covers. #dontjudgeabookbyitscover #sundaysoapbox @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I am definitely drawn to books based on their covers. Here are just a few examples...
I haven't yet read Stay up with me, Daughter of the Moon Goddess or A is for Arsenic but they are tantalising.
Things I am drawn to:
- Gold lettering & designs
- Lit up windows in the dark
- Deco style
- Steampunk
- Beautiful simplicity
- Lamplight / lanterns
These were a few of the first covers that came to mind when I thought of favorites. I'm *definitely* drawn to books based on cover. I first picked up Nina Lacour's We Are Okay because of the cover.

Oh my, which covers should I choose? There‘s the Seasons Editions of classics, the Bloomsbury Modern Classics, the special edition Pratchetts or SOIAF special editions, the Harry Potter books, the Penguin Galaxy series or the Daughter Of Smoke & Bone series, I could go on. And on. Yes I know, I‘m a total cover whore! I‘m totally drawn to a beautiful cover. But if a book is good, I‘ll read it no matter what it looks like though!
