The questions:
No idea but in things: A book cover that perfectly expresses the novel inside of it
Walking Through Fire by Sherri Cook Woosley – on the cover you have the mother and her son walking up on a flaming Baltimore City as balls of fire shoot from the sky and there’s something mystical in the fire… This scene is pretty much the start of the book and all you need to know going into it–a magical apocalypse occurs and a mother will do anything to protect her son.
Sugary sweet: A cover that is so sweet you want to give it a hug
Most recently, Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater. I really have a thing for more ‘abstract’ covers? Not that this one is really abstract but it doesn’t have people on it it, it’s not a scene, etc. But it still manages to convey the tone of the book somehow and the color just makes me feel happy and has a certain sweetness with the way it’s designed.
The simple aesthetic: A book that stuns with the most minimalistic of designs
I’ve always liked this cover of A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. It’s very minimalist and yet it feels….important? Maybe it’s the color or the way there’s a fade in the middle or the choice of such a bold font.
Cover envy: A book cover you wish you had on your shelf but you don’t
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow. I only have an audio copy of this and I’d really LOVE a physical copy for my shelves because look how pretty it is! ❤
Travelling Abroad; A book cover that features a country outside of your own
The Shores of Spain by J. Kathleen Cheney! This story takes place in historical Portugal but they travel to Spain in the last novel. Really great series of historical fantasy with lots of mystery thrown in and a bit of romance on the side.
Colour wheel: A book that showcases one of your favourite colours
I think my favorite color is indigo which is this troubling color between purple and blue. It’s deep and it’s cool and I painted a wall in my house this color. ❤ There’s a bit of it in the cover for The Fever King by Victoria Lee.
Switching gears: A cover change you absolutely adore
I don’t know if this counts as a ‘change’ but I LOVE the UK edition of Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa so much more more than the US edition. It’s color is so light and pretty. If I ever order physical copies of the series it will have to be through book depository I think.
‘Oldie but Goodie’: A favourite cover of your favourite classic
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this cover for Frank Herbert’s classic, Dune. It’s minimalist and the colors pop and I especially love the font. It’s just……so pretty to look at.
And the winner is: Which cover above is your favourite?
Oh geez. I think out of all of these….I’d have to go with the Dune cover. It just feels epic and soothing all at once? And that turquoise color is stunning against the orange.
So, that’s it for this tag. Not tagging anyone but if you like this one and feel like filling it out, consider yourself tagged!
Way Too Fantasy 
What a fun tag! I love the cover for Walking Through Fire. I realize now some of my favorite covers are ones that show a scene from the book😁
I do like scenes from books, especially when you recognize the specific scene. 🙂
The covers of The Ten Thousand Doors of January and Dune are amazing!

Aren’t they? I love them both so much. 😀
This is such a fun tag, I love talking about book covers.
The cover of The Ten Thousand Doors of January is so pretty. *.* How could I now known that there is a historial fantasy set in Portugal?! I need to get my hands on J. Kathleen Cheney’s books. Indigo is such a pretty colour.
Happy readings!
Thanks, it was so fun to fill out! I loooove J. Kathleen Cheney’s books–the specific genre mashing she does just works for me. Hope you enjoy if you’re able to check them out!
The Ten Thousand Doors of January has a beautiful cover! And the U.K. Shadow of the Fox cover is beyond gorgeous😍😍 Great tag!
Thanks, Kaya! Yes, I love both of them a lot. I really want to buy a copy of the UK covers for that series haha.
Ooh, those will be pretty!
Another wonderful meme for my collection! 🙂
I love that cover for Dune: it’s a new one for me, but considering the huge amount of covers for this book, it’s one of the simplest and most effective ones…
I love that cover for Dune too–it’s so simple and yet so gorgeous, the colors are everything. 🙂
I should totally do this tag – and I love the Dune cover.
Lynn 😀
It’s a fun tag! I really do love that Dune cover. The last time I was actually out at a bookstore I was suuuuuper close to buying it haha.
Love the cover of The Ten Thousand Doors. I actually started the audio book and liked it but didn’t finish it in time before I had to return it to the library. I plan to go back to it though.
I thought the audio for that book was great. I love the cover for it so much I might eventually buy a copy haha. 🙂
I love this book tag! I should definitely do more of these 😛 And that Dune cover is gorgeous!!
Thanks! This was a lot of fun to fill out. 🙂 Isn’t it??? I love it so much.
