Amanda: Oh I love this one!
Lara: Her face shows exactly how I felt 12 minutes ago when an annoying colleague emailed me an annoying question. It’s perfection!
Sarah: Oh wow, that is stunning. I love covers I can’t stop looking at.
Elyse: The detail in this is incredible.

Amanda: Love the color palette here!
Sarah: Oh that’s extremely alluring. The color palette is divine I agree!
Elyse: I also like that it’s not just some illustrated elements thrown on a cover, it’s telling you a story.
Amanda: Great point! I definitely prefer illustrated covers that tell us something more!
Elyse: The cat has a little hat on. That is all.
Shana: This is the best cover I’ve seen in ages. All books needs cats in purple hats
Amanda: Is the cat secretly a shapeshifting wizard and that’s its magical staff?!
Sarah: I need to know everything about this cat. Every detail. Go.

Elyse: That is so detailed and gorgeous. I would hang that on my wall.
Tara: Wow, that’s really striking.
Sneezy: That’s so clever! AND SHINY!
Elyse: That little bit of red is so striking.
Sarah: There’s a bit of a trend of referencing tarot card imagery within book cover art and I really like it.
