As you all have probably learned by now, I am cover crazy. Here are my favorites from over November and the first part of December. I read about 27 books over that period. If you want to see the full list, check out my November’s Favorite Books post.
Paper Planes by M. Jules Aedin
Cover art by April Martinez
These guys are gorgeous and look just like I pictured them. Love the airplane images and the fact that the setting actually relates to the book.
A Chip on His Shoulder by L.A. Witt
Cover art by L.C. Chase
I just love this one. Totally hot, gives an excellent depiction of the setting of the story, and completely hits the tone of the book perfectly. Just gorgeous!
The Zero Knot by K.Z. Snow
Cover art by Anne Cain
This artist does gorgeous work and this one is no exception. I love the washed out color and the emotion just feels so right with the story. I completely get the young love vibe from this image.
Boats in the Night by Josephine Myles
Cover art by Lou Harper
This is such a nice cover. Beautiful photograph of the boat and the canal that totally evokes the setting, gorgeous colors, and just that hint of playfulness from the feet. It says a lot about the design that I can totally tell whose feet are whose because they so accurately capture the characters. (As a side note Myles told me she took the photo at the top herself.)
Zero Hour by Jordan Castillo Price
Cover art by PL Nunn
Nunn is another artist whose covers just blow me away. In addition to the beautiful art, the depiction of the guys is spot on, right down to the shunt in the arm and the bit of gray in Earnest’s hair. I love when that happens!
A Gift of Mistletoe by Alex Whitehall
Cover art by Paul Richmond
This is actually the cover for a bunch of short stories/novellas from the Dreamspinner holiday line, not just this particular book, but it is so cute I had to mention it. I love the blue holiday briefs!
So what do you all think? Any favorites for you this month?
>I'm not a fan of Paul Richmond covers, alas… I'm amused that the scarf is blowing in one direction and his robe is blowing open in a different direction! 😀
I like that they used the same cover models on Miracle of the Bellskis as they did on Carol of the Bellskis. And I like the color theme going on for LB Gregg's Cornwall novellas from Musa.
>Hmmm Zero Hour cover reminds me of the cover of Drawn Together by ZA Maxfield; cover for Boats in the Night is a wee bit weird – um, legs sticking out??
But LOVED the cover for KZ Snow's book!
>@Brahmin – yes, the Drawn Together cover is done by the same artist. PL Nunn has a very distinctive stye and does amazing work.
@Chris, lol, I didn't notice the wind thing! too funny. I just liked it b/c it was a little different looking – not just two torsos
