Cover War Winners

You know the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover,” right? But who can resist some of these eye-catching beauties that just won’t let you pass them by? They have covers that shout to be picked up. And even better than a truly enrapturing cover is an enchanting book! Get the best of both with these Cover War winners of 2011.

The Violets of March by Sarah Jio

Thanks Stephanie and Laura! And Susan, it was really hard to pick just five! There's so many more that made my list as well :)

sorry I don't agree with you, the best book cover I think is Kitchen's Daughter by Jael McHenry.

One Moment, One Morning looks like Val Frankel's Four of a Kind. Well, actually, Val's looks like Sarah's book, since Val's isn't officially out yet! And I LOOOOVE Camille's book The Art of Forgetting, but I have to say that I almost didn't read it because I'm not a fan of ballet, although the cover is STUNNING! I discussed this with her too. The soft cover is MUCH different -- check it out on amazon. Great round up of some gorgeous covers!

Great choices Samantha! One Moment, One Morning by Sarah Rayner's cover is STUNNING. It makes me want to grab a cup of tea and sit and read it all in one go.
