This was such a hard topic to decide on! Favorite fairy tale covers, favorite pretty dress covers, historical fiction covers, title fonts, daggers, etc. So many possibilities! In the end, I decided to do a mix of my favorite read and unread book covers, 5 each for a total of 15! Even then, it was hard to narrow it down… I love a good book cover! But these all appeal to me for a variety of reasons and I tried to go with my gut when I was browsing Goodreads.

These Broken Stars is such an amazing cover!! Every time it gets me. That Inevitable Victorian Thing is pretty damn good too. Great picks!

It really is, it’s one of my favorite!! I bought all three books without reading them (even though I never do that) because I couldn’t resist the covers! Yes, love the gorgeous color palette!

I love how you split this up! These Broken Stars is definitely one of my all-time favorite covers. I like it the best out of all three in the series. And TATBILB has the best covers <33

I need to buy These Broken Stars for my bookshelves. I have the audiobook (because the production is out of this world), but that cover is just perfection.
I also love how simple (but attractive) the Lara Jean covers are!

I really need to read it haha! I own all three because I couldn’t resist the covers, they’re drool-worthy. Me too!! The cursive Sharpie and all the details in her room are so fun.

I’ve only read Cress out of these books, but I LOVE that cover! I think it’s my favourite out of the four Lunar Chronicles books. I also love the way those books look side by side on my shelves though 😀

It’s my favorite as well! I love how her braid wraps around and the ribbon they added 🙂 Scarlet might be my second favorite of those covers.

I absolutely love the cover for These Broken Stars. I remember just being stunned by how beautiful it was. I still think it’s one of the most beautiful covers ever. I hope all the unread books on your list turn out to be as lovely as their covers!

I love covers with gorgeous gowns and color! Also, the word stars, duke, rake, rogue, universe or any sci-fi word title ALWAYS make me pick up a book.. 🙂

I really love the covers of These Broken Stars, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Cress! Have you read For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund? The cover isn’t as pretty as the second book, but it’s my favorite in the series since it’s a retelling of Persuasion (which I love).
LikeLike
I do too! They’re all so beautiful for different reasons. Yes I have, I loved it!! It was my favorite too because I also love Persuasion! I almost picked it actually but decided I liked the sparkly blue of the second book a teensy bit more.

That cover of Across A Star Swept Sea is so beautiful! I have never heard of it before but I might as well have to buy it because I love all the blues 😀

So much prettiness in one post. I loove the cover for Treachery of Beautiful Things but I know that book is not for me, lol. I can admire it from afar.
Elizabeth May gets the best covers. I also prefer her US covers — which is not how I usually feel about US YA covers, ha.
I think half the reason I haven’t read Across a Star-Swept Sea is that it would leave the unread shelves in my room.. and I would miss it lol.
I love all the covers for the unread books but I am focusing on THAT YOU HAVEN’T READ LADY OF THE ETERNAL CITY MORGAN WHY WHY
the cover of That Inevitable Victorian Thing is almost unfairly pretty.

Aww haha, it is really pretty at least! Oh I totally prefer the US Falconer covers! They’re prettier and more badass 😉
JESSIE I STILL HAVEN’T READ IT. It’s like a Thing now. But I saw my friend reading the series on twitter so now I’m thinking about them again.
