Hey guys, it’s Elise! 2019 in covers has been so so amazing, and I just want to talk about a few covers that I’m obsessed with right now.
Never Contented Things by Sarah Porter
→releases: 4 June 2019← I requested an arc of this because the lovely Acqua @Acquadimore, whose book opinions I always trust, wrote a really excellent review that made it sound like something I’d enjoy. And then I was approved for an arc of this? Not ten seconds after requesting it? I?
These Witches Don’t Burn by Isabel Sterling
→releases: 28 May 2019← This book is about gay witches. I honestly just really find this cover appealing; it’s got an interesting look somewhere between fun and creepy.
Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare
→releases: 4 June 2019← I honestly don’t generally like the covers of this whole world, but this cover is so nice. The bottles in the front are so fun and interesting.
The Hound of Justice (Janet Watson #2) by Claire O’Dell
→releases: 30 July 2019← the sequel to one of my favorite books of the year? iconic, cannot wait. you can find my thoughts on book one here.
Wicked Saints by Emily A. Duncan
→released: 7 April 2019← I have read and adored this one already, but the cover is so so gorgeous! Like, oh my god, the white and the blue and the red compilation is so eerie, and the castle so well designed, and also I’m a fan of the font. Basically, this cover slaps.
Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me by Mariko Tamaki
→releases: 7 May 2019← I’ve already read and loved this one! I constantly need these discussions of toxic relationships between sapphics in graphic novel form. But this COVER!!!!!!! It’s so satisfyingly well rendered.
With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo
→releases: 7 May 2019← I always love stories about young women growing their ambition and everything, but also, the cover of this is too beautiful i’m not fucking able to process it. Literally one of my favorite covers of all time.

If I ever become an author, this will be my conversation with the cover department.
Worker: How pretty do you want it?
Me: Yes

I love how minimalist the cover for Wicked Saints is!
My personal favorite cover (so far) this year has got to be a toss-up between Descendant of the Crane, or The Wicked King.

I am definitely anticipating With the Fire On High, the cover is gorgeous and the story sounds amazing!! I’d also like to check out Laura Dean at some point, it sounds interesting and I’ve been meaning to read some graphic novels this year – why not start out with a queer one with a super pretty cover?
