ย ๐ย Hi guys! I hope you’re having the most beautiful day!ย ๐ฅฐย I don’t want to start the post without officially thanking you for a wonderful year full of support and love, I feel ready for a 2020 with a lot of energy and fun things on the blog thanks to you and because you’re always there for me, so I just LOVE YOU and I hope you’re happy every day of your life and I hope you’re doing what you love. โค๏ธย
Last year I made my first post highlighting my favorite book covers of 2018 book releases and you loved it, we talked a lot about our favorite covers and about what it means for you, and I loved the experience so much that this year I’m on board to bring you a 2019 edition.ย ๐๐ปย
You know that I’m a cover lover, I know that you don’t have to judge the book by them, but in large part, I must be honest … I do it and I think we have all had that impulse to buy or read a book for that beautiful cover, so this post is in honor of those covers that I fell in love with this year and which I still can’t stop looking at … Get comfortable and enjoy the view!
I hope you enjoy it, this is a 100% visual post & aesthetically pleasing to see and we here for it so, Let’s start!ย ๐

I think a cover can influence my decision to buy a book as I will be really excited about it and they should reflect the insides so if it looks like a fantasy that I will like, it makes me want to pick up the cover (I hope that makes sense ๐)
Sorcery of Thorns was one of my favourites of this year!! ๐ I love so many of the covers you’ve picked!!
I also loved Crier’s War, The Candle And The Flame and Descendant of the Crane!! We were blessed with many beautiful covers this year!! ๐

I am SUCH a cover buy-er, it’s crazy. I will convince myself I’m interested in a book just because I love the cover and want to own it. I pay more for a specific version of a book I like better. And a bad cover definitely makes the chances of me picking it up smaller. I’m really trying to put less value on it though, because I have ended up with lots of books I’m actually not that interested in haha.
From your list my favorite is Wilder Girls. That cover is perfection ๐ My favorites from the books I’ve read in 2019 are the Truly Devious series covers. I’m a sucker for good lettering and the series will end up looking soooo good together โค

I think Wilder Girls is my type of cover, I love them when they look like a photograph but they’re much more like an artwork and I love that

I might not “judge” book by its cover, but I definitely purchase books because of the beautiful covers ๐ and especially on NetGalley, I gravitate towards the covers I like and only then read the synopsis.
Recently, I’ve been in love with all white covers, like “The Whisper Man” by Alex North, or “City of Girls” by Elizabeth Gilbert (the hardcover edition โค )

I’m SUCH a sucker for bad-ass women on covers, and that’s why I love the covers of The Guinevere Deception, Sorcery of Thorns, and The Storm Crow so much! I especially love the detail of the birds in The Storm Crow.
Wilder Girls’ cover is so haunting, and I always want to read it whenever I see it! Also, the King of Scars cover is a work of ART. leigh bardugo always lucks out with the BEST covers. And omg, I also find the cover of The Gilded Wolves stunning, but it’s even more breathtaking in person! Idk, the physical copy is just so majestic and big, and I love how much detail is in it. I always kinda gasp whenever I see it in the bookstore :”)
This is an amazing post, Sofi! โค I loved getting to stare at all these beautiful covers
