I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog!
I’m using today’s TTT Freebie to talk about covers! Because if you follow this blog on a regular basis, you know that I love a good cover:-) I mean, who doesn’t? Today I’ve picked twelve favorite covers from books I’ve read in 2021. Take a look:
Apparently, I love busy, colorful covers the most. Although there are a couple of rather simple designs that worked really well (the last two). Tidepool and The Ladies of the Secret Circus are more on the moody side, but they’ve both captured the essence of their stories perfectly.
These covers are awesome! Clearly, I love busy and bold covers too. I can’t seem to look away from the cover of The Echo Wife and Hall of Smoke. I want them on my shelf. Do you ever buy books just because you’d love to see them on your shelf? I’m totally guilty of that. I sometimes buy books that I’ve already read, because I love the cover of the other edition.

Oh yes, I totally buy them for the cover! I love buying special editions too, although they can get expensive.
The Forever Sea had one of my favorites too!
It’s such a great cover:-)
Good picks! I really liked the Revelator cover (dark and scary) and This Thing Between Us cover (dizzying and totally fits with the story).

I’m not sure why I didn’t add Relevator, I love that one too.
The Forever Sea is my favorite among your favorites… 🙂
Everyone loves The Forever Sea. Winner!
The Forever Sea is just a great cover:)
I know! The UK cover is really nice too.
Great collection of covers here! Of the books I’ve read this year my favorite covers are probably for The Pariah and Remote Control. Of the covers you picked my favorite is Birds of Paradise. I love covers for how they can initially be enjoyed by themselves as pure artwork. And then I sometimes love them even more after I’ve read the book and have those ties that make the cover that much more special.
I agree, Todd. Once you read the book, sometimes little things on the cover jump out at you that you didn’t notice before. I love Remote Control too, now I’m wondering why I didn’t pick it for this list:-)
These are all really amazing covers that you picked! I think that The Forever Sea is my favorite out of all these.

It’s so pretty, right? But also a little strange…
Oooh, I love the one for THE FOREVER SEA! It’s beautiful and oh, so intriguing…

I really like all of those.
I have to admit it’s a nice bunch of covers:-)
The Forever Sea’s cover looks amazing and I love the Hall of Smoke as well. Thanks for sharing!
I’m excited to see what the sequel to The Forever Sea is going to look like:-)
Beautiful choices! I love the Koli covers, and the Forever Sea is gorgeous!
The Koli covers are so good, and really evoke the story.
Comfort Me With Apples had an amazing cover for sure!

I love some of these and even want to read the books! I hope you’ll be able to link up with our Top 10 later in the month. Covers is Dec 22.
I definitely will, Anne! Thanks for the reminder.
Very different styles but Forever Sea and Tidepool really stand out for me.
Lynn 😀
They are very different, I guess my mood changes from time to time:-)
I love them all! And they vibe well together. Probably Comfort me with apples most

Ha ha I guess I do!
I used this as my topic too! Love the cover for Hall of Smoke.

I love it too, and the sequel has a great cover as well:-)
A Marvellous Light always catches my eye. Love that cover.
I know, it’s hard to look away from it, lol.
I want to read Comfort Me With Apples. Tidepools was good I don’t see many reviews of it (and I didn’t review it either- erghh) and I love Sea. I want to read the echo Wife also…

The Echo Wife is so good, Greg! You should read it.
So many gorgeous covers. The Ladies of the Secret Circus is definitely one of my favorite covers from this year as well.
Yes! And it fits the story so well.
I love busy, colourful covers too! These are just perfect!

Agreed, those two are first for a reason:-)
These are all so beautiful! I am still so taken by that cover for The Forever Sea, it’s just such a perfect mix of beautiful and imaginative and a bit awe-invoking. Tidepool is exceptionally gorgeous, also!
