My Favourite Romance Book Covers!
Hey there guys! I'm back for the December post. I'm in a really weird mopey mood lately and I need some things to do to take off the burden of my mind.
So, we're going to talk about book covers tonight and my favourites among them.
If you haven't known this about me, most of the books I read are in digital form. One is because I can read them in the dark and it's more accessible than trying to shove your books down your bag whenever you're going anywhere. Second, I rarely buy new books that I haven't read yet. I would normally read the book digitally (in ebook files) and then if I found myself loving them, I would buy the physical book.
Hence, I rarely care about how the books looked physically and their condition. But that doesn't mean I don't have a favourite. Now, let's talk about books.
The first book or series in which the covers attracted my attention was the Inside Out series by Lisa Renee Jones. IF I WERE YOU was the first book by LRJ that I'd read about five years ago. I love the woman in colourful silk cover the first two books in the series had.
But then, the third and fourth cover in the book changed to roses and I was like... WHYYYYY!??? They were so pretty previously. I cannot be the only one who think so, right? Though imagining myself reading the almost naked woman of the physical books of first and second in public would bring me anxiety... but again, they were so pretty!

The second cover that I love would be my newest series I read which is the Origins series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Mind you, I hate the Lux series book covers (which would be covered *wink* in the future post) but the Origins covers were so pretty and I really love the font they used. Plus, let's talk about the correlation between the titles and the plot which totally caught me off guard. Usually, the titles never made sense to me (especially in romance novels) but I like how clever JLA was to choose the title for her books. I just can't wait to see The Brightest Night (Origin #3) book cover AND TO READ THEM.
The third favourite book covers would be the famous Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo. Despite me having some trouble to read the second book of the duology (wait up, I just heard there will be a third book in the future) and yet I still don't think I will read it. I love the font. I love the contrast between the greyish blue and black of the first book; and the black and brownish contrast. AND THE BLACK EDGE! These two books are just so pleasing to see. Nuff said.
Next, I have a thing for black and white cover with a golden font. Like, seriously. If I saw a cover with this type, I would always be attracted to them.
My other favourite type of covers happened to be my earliest trilogies. The Redhead trilogy by Alice Clayton might seem cheesy to you, but to my 18-year-old preference years ago, I love the tacky cover with half a person's face on it. You would've thought this book was a chick-lit book like Bridget Jones or Shopaholic, but damn... the amount of intense sexual tension in this book was... wow.
The next book is another favourite book of mine. It's Vain by Fisher Amelie. I just have this thing with a dark pastel (?) colour and girl in a pretty dress. Plus, I love when the author used very short title. It's VAIN. Short. Simple. Meaningful.
Another book by JLA on my list! Now, it's the Half-Blood series. However, I do dislike the font used for this book. I wished they used different (thicker) font since the cover kind of overwhelmed the title. You know what they say, thicker the better *wink*.
Okay. I have a confession. I LOVE THE TWILIGHT COVERS. Especially the first iconic Twilight's cover. It's perfect. The Breaking Dawn cover didn't do for me though. I would like it better if there was no chessboard on it.
Finally, a few covers from books that I haven't read yet but I love the cover too much to exclude them from the list.

That is all I could do for now. Happy December guys! One more month before the end of the two decades. Fill them out with your best memories and never stop believing in yourself no matter how hard it is.
