This cover immediately caught my attention on Goodreads. I loved the soft colors popping out of the muted background. I loved that I could look at this cover and instantly know that the story was set somewhere in England (Leeds) and it was likely during wartime (WW1). This one was definitely worth a second glance and after checking out the synopsis, it was added to my wish list.
What about you? Any book covers capture your attention this week?

I agree, great cover. And I am all about covers and labels. For example, even though I don't like beer much, I am always bringing home bottles for my husband to drink so I can save the label because it is clever or cute. (He would love it if I would pay more attention to what is inside the bottle! LOL) I know it is considered "shallow" by some to judge by the cover, but there are a lot of us out there who do, so it's fun that marketers recognize it! If a book has a good cover, I will at least pick it up and read the synopsis on the back, which is more than I would do for a plain covered book about which I didn't know anything.
ReplyDeleteWe are alike! I should be more ashamed than I am to admit that the cover is so important in my decision to read a book. Especially if it's an obvious self-pub. But, it's true. The cover has to grab my attention before I even read the synopsis.
