It's a good thing I don't pick books based on their covers, because, let's face it, most book covers are pretty dire, especially if the story isn't 'literary fiction'. That said, I've got a couple of stand outs.
Samantha Shannon's Bone Season series had some gorgeous covers originally. They've now, sadly, been redesigned, but there was such fan outcry that the publisher is continuing to release limited editions of each new book with covers in the style of the original design.
The images I could find on Goodreads looked a bit flat, so I went onto the #theboneseason tag on Instagram to find some better photos of the books with the original design. These are the front covers of the published books so far, and these are the spines.
But I think my favourite book cover would have to be 'The Lilies of Dawn' by Vanessa Fogg.![[twitter.com profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/e0caa790ec10/-/twitter.com/favicon.ico)
likhain is one of my favourite illustrators, and this particular work of hers has always been one of my favourites.

I will get back to everyone's comments on my previous post as soon as possible, but at the moment the combination of work and Brexitshambles is eating up all of my time.
