These are my favourite covers of the books that I have read over the course of 2018. They are in no particular order, more of a celebration of the importance that the cover of a book has to get noticed in a bookshop or library when people are browsing. The use of foil blocking on them makes some of these below, sparkle and glisten, so do take a moment to find them as the images are a pale shadow of the actual covers.
That first one – for Black Sea – is so striking! I know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but some of them are just so eye-catching it’s hard to avoid…
I love these. You’re so right – a good cover does make you pick a book up.
They are really good nowadays. My stats and books of the year post are now online too
Some favourites of mine there too. Black Sea especially.
Oh my… these are really beautiful! What a great idea to do this post!
There is a post for 2017 covers too, Davida
