It’s that time of the week again, friends! We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is: a cover freebie!
The first topic that always comes to mind are the prettiest covers and while I wanted to keep the topic easy enough for myself today (as I’m finally traveling home–YAY!), I thought that’d also be too easy. Plus, I kinda already did something like it at the end of 2019. After some thought I decided to focus on my favorite illustrated covers, which is a trend I’ve been noticing lately and loving a lot! 😍 I’m a sucker for illustrated covers and I’m definitely guilty of judging a book by its cover when it comes to them 😅
What do you think of these illustrated covers? Are you a sucker for well-illustrated covers too? Any favourites?

Great list! I haven’t read the series, but I love the cover of Aurora Burning so much that now I’m really tempted to give it a try – who knew space elves were what I was missing from my life? The cover of With the Fire On High is gorgeous, too.

Haha I’m definitely all for this space elf 😍 But tbh, any cover that’s done by Charlie Bowater is an immediate favorite of mine because her artwork is just amazing! I also really love the cover of WTFOH and can’t wait to read it 🙂

Same here Illustrated covers always catch my eye and make me want to read a book even if the story doesn’t sound 100% my jam 😅 I’m a total sucker for them!

I sort of expected Aurora Burning to be on here, and I so wasn’t disappointed. Maybe I was just projecting, because I absolutely LOVE that cover, but oh well. ❤ Great minds and all such nonsense. I like the cover of These Witches Don't Burn, but I think I actually prefer the cover of its sequel (This Coven Won't Break), probably because blue is my favorite color, and their choice of shade is just stunning and eye-catching. 😉

Hahaha not at all! I freaking love the Aurora Cycle covers so far 😍 Charlie Bowater needs to do ALL the freaking covers because I’m so in love with her work! I also love the cover for This Coven Won’t Break and totally agree that it’s better than TWDB (I just didn’t remember it for this post LOL)! Their choice of blue is definitely on point!

I’m not a huge fan of illustrated covers for romance, but I do love the ones for Helen Hoang’s books.

I actually quite like the illustrated cover trend for romances but I’m a sucker for illustrated covers in general. I agree the covers for Hoang’s books are awesome although I think I like the first two covers more than Quan’s book cover? LOL

I was just ranting on my post today about how I’m so over all the illustrated covers. LOL But there are exceptions, of course, and I do really like the cover for I Wish You All the Best. It just seemed perfect for Ben and Nathan 🙂
