Lots of pretty amid not so many covers this week. It’s November, and publishing looks like its already headed into the holiday doldrums. Not that the holidays themselves are doldrum-y, but rather that not much comes out or gets promoted over the holidays because no one is paying attention to anything EXCEPT the holidays!
I almost said that there isn’t an ugly cover in the bunch, but I have to admit that the beady eye of whatever that insect is pictured on the cover of Esperance is definitely giving me the creeps. I’m curious as hell because I loved the author’s Braking Day. But still, that cover is really kind of creepy – and potentially crawly as well.
The Ladies Road Guide to Utter Ruin, however, gets my nod for both prettiest cover and most eye-catching title, but your reading mileage may vary. We’ll have to see in the months ahead.

The insect eye is a bit freaky. I like the look of The Enchanted Greenhouse.

That bug book cover is creepy! The Enchanted Green House is a pretty cover and an intriguing title.

The whole Under the Mistletoe collection has terrific covers and they’ve all been perfect for their books so far.
