Welcome to part 3 of fantastic book covers! A book cover can really make or break my decision to read a particular book and I get more than a little annoyed when the cover doesn't seem to match the tone of the book. I have also been known to buy books solely based on the cover of the spine, based on what I'd like on my shelves although here I am just talking about covers. These are all books I've read this year!

Here we go...in a super particular order called...the order in which they uploaded.
I was immediately drawn in by this cover but I did check that it had a decent Goodreads rating before adding it to my list (I've definitely been burned by good covers but bad books in the past). The Target like hat was eye catching and a beach book will ALWAYS grab my attention.
I read their first book (I think this is another best friend writing duo) last year and enjoyed it but I would have added this book to my list anyways based on that Chicago cover. It was either right before or right after we went to Chicago that I saw it and added it to my list, even though the city didn't matter that much. But look at that beach and skyline!
I enjoy the occasional read about the crazy lives of rich people. Or crazy people trying to become rich. The limited colors here were definitely eye catching, even though I ended up being ehhh on the story.
This is the book I bought off the shelf at The Bookshelf in Thomasville, Georgia this summer. It was more name recognition because I had heard owner Annie B. Jones mention it on the podcast BUT it's about dueling piano players and look...piano keys on the cover. Although I didn't realize that until after I started reading it.
Luke & I have been reading these this year and it has been a DELIGHT to share them with him. I read the original books starting 20 years ago but it has been so fun to read these illustrated copies with him. The pictures are just stunning, so many and so much detail! I always enjoy seeing what makes the covers too. Fantastic.
I LOVE a good camping picture AND all that blue will always pull me in. Also a good minimalist design. Really, this was almost designed just for me. Also, I gave this 5 stars but never a blog post.
This is a New York set book but I read it entirely on our Chicago trip where we had a very similar hotel room view to the one on the cover. Which is why it makes this list. Also, I really enjoyed this one. Just the cover takes me back to that happy trip!
Fiona Davis always writes about New York City iconic buildings and this one featuring the Radio City Music Hall is just wonderful. I have never been outside but have probably walked past the building on every trip we've made to New York, it's iconic for a reason.
Elin Hilderbrand's covers are almost always blue and feature a lady or a few ladies. All her summer Nantucket books are beachy. BUT I do think this is the best one lately. All that blue! (I am ALWAYS drawn to blue). But I would read her newest no matter what.
I've been writing about these in the order they uploaded and am amused that these last two are next to each other, both featuring ladies in yellow in front of blue. I like the minimalist design again and beachy vibes. I would have read her new one no matter what, having enjoyed last year's book, but a good cover is nice!
Those are some book covers that have grabbed me lately. What about you?
