Amanda: I secretly hope the highlander one is a butch lady! But I’m loving all the greens and blues.
Sarah: I see what the illustrator did there with hinting at a particular actor on the left there – but wow that’s beautiful and lush.
Sneezy: I’m hoping for the same thing, Amanda!

Carrie: Ooooooooooo
She wrote The Heiress which was so, so good.
Amanda: The faces on those lions are killing me.
Sarah: Amanda, we predicted this in the 2023 publishing predictions podcast bonus episode – filigree with illustrations in the border on covers! Tudor roses, griffins, I dig it.
Sneezy: What??? I’ll have to go back to that episode. How did the two of you know? I love these kinds of patterns. Any art historians that have researched medieval illuminations here? I’ve been wondering if these patterns has heavy influences from Persian art, but I haven’t had time to read up on it.

From Kilian: I love this cover of Ana Maria and the Fox. I immediately thought of Cover Awe when I saw it.
Sarah: Yup. I like it, too.
Laura: Love the lighting on their faces!
Amanda: The light to dark progression of colors works so well!
Sneezy: I’m usually neutral about dress-morphing-into-backdrop, but this one REALLY works for me. It just feels romantic and lush and makes me smile.
Elyse: I love the gold and purple!
