Welcome back to Cover Awe!
The Gentleman Spy by Georgina North
Cover design by Jennifer Therieau
From Kareni: For a future Cover Awe post.
Claudia: Oh yes, I really like this. Incongruously it reminds me of a watercolor tattoo.
Sarah: Claudia, I had the exact same thought. And the way that the watercolory splotches are partially revealing blocks of written text adds to the intrigue of the image, which I’m presuming matches the book.
A Love Like the Sun by Riss M. Neilson
Cover illustration by Vivi Campos
Lara: I want to be in that picture, basking.
Amanda: Meanwhile, my allergies do not.
Sarah: I think I can smell this cover. It’s extremely sensual in the literal, uh, sense.
Sneezy: I like how horizontal and vertical orientations layering on each other. It’s lovely to look at both ways.
Cover illustration by Emma Leonard
Lara: I love the expression on her face and how she’s sitting in the frame.
Amanda: The whole series has great cover illustrations.
Sarah: I love the color scheme, and the dress. I want to see multiple angles of it, and to see it in motion.
A Whisper of Cardamom by Eleanor Ford
From LML: If a cookbook can be included in Cover Awe, I find this cover so beautiful that I’ll probably buy it in hardcover.
Amanda: It could definitely be a painting on its own.
