They say you can never have a second chance to make a good first impression. A book’s cover does just that – gives a first impression. A good cover can make a reader pick up a book. A bad cover can leave the book at the very bottom of a dusty pile.
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.
For my 102nd Cover Love post, I want to share some books that I’ve found with paths to the beach on their covers.
Have you read any of these titles?
Don’t forget to check out any of the other previous 101 installments of Cover Love, many of which have been updated since they were first published.
Today, July 21st, I am undergoing abdominal surgery, so I prepared this post in advance. I will be taking a brief hiatus to recover, so will not be able to respond to your comments, or share your posts on social media for a week or so…

All of these covers pull me in and want me to get to the beach to walk, Lynne. I have read three of them, the Patterson one, I Found You and Summer House. I do have a couple of others on my TBR: Stolen and What Have I Done. I have been told I would love Mary Alice Monroe, so might try one of these.

What a surprise to me that there are so many books with a path to the beach. I feel like I may have walked on one of these paths. But, probably not.

These paths have an almost magnetic quality for me. If I see one, I MUST walk down. Thanks Wendy 😊

Well don’t they all look rather appealing? I loved Liz Fenwick’s The Path to the Sea.
