The Friday Face-Off: Auto-Buy Covers

  

Friday Face Off New
Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme at Books by Proxy. Join us every Friday as we pit cover against cover, and publisher against publisher, to find the best artwork in our literary universe.  You can find a list of upcoming topics at Lynn's Books.

This week's topic is:
Auto-Buy Covers

This week's topic is all about books that make us have "grabby hands" towards them, which to me basically means covers that make me want to immediately buy these books. Now, to be clear, I don't go out and auto-buy all of the books with covers I'm obsessed with because I am not made of money, but that doesn't mean I don't want to. And if I love the book (which I do love most of these, to be honest!) I am sure to add it to a wish list to hopefully get my hands on one day.

My choice(s):
As with other weeks that feature many beautiful covers, I'm not sure I can even try to pick one of these. I find them all so beautiful that it just isn't possible.


What cover(s) do you like the most!?

  3. I can see why these are autobuys — these covers are lovely!! The Hatmakers though, I adore that quirkiness and colour 😁😁
