Delicious book covers of 2018

Do we fall in love with the cover before the book? There are so many ways to interpret the question. In any case, rounding up the best covers of 2018 is something I look forward to every year. This year presented us with some brilliant covers. There was quite a lot of orange though I have not included many in this list. Designs by Suzanne Dean and Kimberly Glyder seem to have won my heart in 2018. Enough of the talking; enjoy the eye candy.

PS: It is very difficult to find the names of the cover designers as they are seldom mentioned (Wish Goodreads adds a block for cover designers). I have tried to give credit wherever possible. If I have made a mistake, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Or if you know the designers of those books where credits have been omitted, leave me a comment/message.

And some more

Virago celebrated the 80th anniversary of Du Maurier’s Rebecca with a beautifully stitched cover. The cover art was directed by Hannah Wood. You can see more of the creative process here. Another noteworthy cover that caught my eye is the design by Suzanne Dean for The Handmaid’s tale rejacketed copy. The design also won the ABCovereD awards this year in the Sci-Fic category. You can check out the shortlist of the ABCovereD awards here and it showcases some fascinating covers. Fox 8 by Saunders was republished this year by Randomhouse and it still remains a favourite (both cover and book). The cover design is by Chelsea Cardinal.
