The covers of novels entice the reader to enter a different world. Covers are, after all, the way the publisher ‘hooks‘ the reader into choosing one book over countless others.
In my thirty-seventh installment of ‘Cover Love‘, I’d like to show you books that feature apples on their covers. It IS apple harvest time in Nova Scotia after all.
If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then I maintain that a book a day keeps the psychiatrist away. LOL
Apples can be hearty and wholesome, or rotten and putrid. Both types lend themselves to be excellent material for dustjackets.
Some of the following books I’ve already read, some are on my ‘to read’ list,
and some I chose only for their covers.
Some, perhaps, will now be on your TBR!
ooh great one!

Love the apple theme! I’ve been wondering how you come up with the ideas for these and find all the covers… do you start to see a trend and then start searching for others?

Yes Nicole. That, and the fact that I spend WAY too much time on Goodreads and Pinterest. LOL
I’m glad you’re enjoying my Cover Love series.

Excellent as always but MUST ask why the trend to have authors name more prominent than the title. As in the case of AMY BLOOM AWAY, huh?

Back when I was working we often discussed this trend. If an author is not well known, the title is more predominant. If the author is established and has a ‘following’, then the font for the author’s name is larger and given predominance.
