Do! Judge A Book By Its Cover Issue 102: Contemporary (Part 20)

Do! Judge A Book By Its Cover is a regular feature on Pop! Goes The Reader in which I pay tribute to some of the best and brightest the publishing world has to offer in the way of book cover design. This feature is inspired by Katie’s feature Cover Love on her blog One Page At A Time. The idea is being used with her gracious permission.

Some of my favourite covers this week include Ordinary Girls by Blair Thornburgh, Hold Still by Nina LaCour, This Time Will Be Different by Misa Sugiura, With The Fire On High by Elizabeth Acevedo, Dear Haiti, Love Alaine by Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite, Let Me Hear A Rhyme by Tiffany D. Jackson, Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan, Love From A To Z by S.K. Ali, I Wanna Be Where You Are by Kristina Forest, Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck and Fortune by Roselle Lim and The Voice In My Head by Dana L. Davis.

Please Note: I’ve done my best to credit the designers and artists responsible for the beautiful covers below, but was unable to find this information for a number of those listed. If you know of an uncredited designer responsible for any of these book covers, please let me know and I would be happy to include proper attribution in this post. Their work is lovely and deserves to be credited.
