Like the majority of book lovers, I do judge a book by it’s cover so this tag is perfect. I loved reading Kayla @ Kayla’s Book Nook’s answers and I knew that I needed to do it too!
Best Colour Combo On a Book Cover:
I love the way that blue and gold looks on a book cover! I am always drawn to books with that colour combo.
Best Typography/Font On a Book Cover:
So many covers have simple block lettering so I appreciate when I find of cover with beautiful cursive writing. I also love the size of the lettering on Burial Rites!
Best Simple Cover:
This edition of The Great Gatsby is pretty simple but it is one of my favourites! I love the nod to art deco!
Best End Pages:
I really like all of the end pages in the Word Cloud Classic editions! They are so beautiful and reflect the story perfectly. These specific books are Mansfield Park, Treasure Island, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Best Map:
You may have noticed that I am not a big fantasy reader so not a lot of the books that I read have a map! The map in An Ember in the Ashes isn’t anything special but I do really love the book itself.
Best Naked Hardback:
This is the naked hardback for Waking Gods by Sylvain Neuvel! How cool is that? I am so excited for the last book in the series to come out so I can see the naked hardback for it in person!
Best Back Cover:
I have never noticed back covers before and a lot of my books have really boring back covers! Far From the Tree has one of my favourite covers and I love that the leaves continue on the back of the book as well.
Best Chapter Headers:
The beginning of each chapter in this edition of The Beauty and the Beast are beyond gorgeous!! These illustrated editions are stunning and I highly recommend checking them out. I want to get my hands on The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan!
Best Illustrations:
This illustrated edition of The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland is creepy and weird but still beautiful. I love the vibrant covers and each and every illustration is completely unique.
Best Spine:
I knew instantly which spine I was going to choose! How gorgeous is this? I love the way it looks on my shelf and I wish more books would have beautiful spines like this one.
Favourite Cover on Shelves:
Obviously this is a joke! There are so many book covers that I love and I could not possibly pick a favourite. I went with this edition of The Great Gatsby because the handsome Leonardo DiCaprio is on the cover and how can you not love that?!
Are the more tags about book covers? I love any excuse to gush about them! I have actually written a couple posts talking about my favourite covers in the past and you can find them here and here if you are interested!
This is a GREAT tag!! Awesome answers- I agree 100% with your first one. The gold on blue is just so pleasing to me!
Also- if you DO find any more tags about covers, let me know!
Just FYI your links for your discussions about favorite covers aren’t live :[
I definitely will! Thank you for telling me!! Forgot that I was planning to link to those! Updated them 😀
Thank you! Truly the best colour combo!
What edition of Alice is that? I would love to add it to my collection?
It is illustrated by Camille Rose Garcia. I also have the one that she did of Snow White! Here is a link to it on bookoutlet https://bookoutlet.ca/Store/Details/9780061886577B?gclid=Cj0KCQjw8YXXBRDXARIsAMzsQuXO3Fmb0FS67gY9EqIDfzjkwmmu4_xd_1nqGeoju6d6tXz17nJ1LFsaArFfEALw_wcB
Thanks so much!
No problem!
I love An Ember in the Ashes map too! Great answers!! ❤️
Thank you! I did find myself referring to the map while reading the book which is great. Need to read more books with maps!
This is a awesome tag!!! xD pretty covers are the best
Thank you! So true!
I love this tag! Any excuse to share some gorgeous covers! Is it bad that I want to buy Waking Gods now, even though I haven’t read the first book? It’s just so beautiful!
Thank you! I am a sucker for a pretty cover! The cover for the first book is just as beautiful!!
This post is gorgeous! I read The Queen of Hearts from Netgalley, and liked it but didn’t LOVE it, which I was mostly sad about as now I don’t have an excuse to buy that gorgeous hardcover.
Thank you! I liked The Queen of Hearts too but it is not a book that I will continue to think about. It was just fun to read! The cover is gorgeous!
Oh wow. Your books are gorgeous!! I really loved the classic ones.
Thank you! I could have answered all of these questions just using classics!

Love this! Now I gotta get me a Word Cloud edition classic. And what edition of the Beauty and the Beast is that? It’s so pretty!
The Word Cloud classics are amazing! Here is a link to Beauty the Beast. It is illustrated and interactive so it’s really fun! https://m.harpercollins.com/9780062456212/the-beauty-and-the-beast-illustrated-with-interactive-elements

Gorgeous naked hardback I have the UK paperbacks and they are really pretty too.
I don’t think I have ever seen those editions! I will have to look them up!
I would recommend them 🙂
There is no end to the beauty of books! ♥ I love the aqua and gold color combination as well.
It is so true!
