Cover Awe: Butts | Smart Bitches, Trashy Books


Welcome back to Cover Awe, where we discuss book covers we like!

I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself by Glynnis MacNicol. A watercolor of a woman lounging on her stomach on a muted blue chaise. Her butt is out.

Cover designed by Cassandra Garruzzo Mueller

Amanda: I support butts on covers. I think the softness of the painting with the blocky neon green text is a very good pairing!

Elyse: Butts, butts, butts.

Sarah: The first thing I heard about this book was book folks talking about the luscious and erotic cover. Boy, were they right.

Lara: Oh, I love this pairing too!

Nine Tailed by Jayci Lee. A white nine-tailed fox descends toward dark blue mountains. It's tails are a mix of pink, teal, and blue, all tipped in white.

Cover design and illustration by Elizabeth Turner Stokes

Amanda: Oh I love this one.

Elyse: The colors on this are just gorgeous.

Sarah: This is another book where I heard about the cover first! The colors are incredible.

Lara: So rich and vibrant!

Spanish edition of The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner. An illustration cover in very muted tones. A large glass jar is in the center with an image of a domed building inside. Around the bottle, creeping in from the sides of the cover, are pale green leaves and red flowers.

Amanda: I love this Spanish edition. It’s more detailed for me than the original and I like the softness of the color palette.

Sarah: I love miniatures. Like wee teeny cereal boxes, tiny furniture, clay sculpted food – I love it. So I love this cover and I could look at it for hours.

Am I the only one transfixed by miniature human things? That’s still a hobby for sure.

Lara: The muted hues are really working for me.

For She is Wrath by Emily Varga. A young woman raises a sword to a darkened, green sky. She's wearing a simple dress and her dark, curly hair is blown back from her face. A large fire burns behind her, and the right and left borders have an outline of a gold paisley design.

Cover design by Jen Edwards

Elyse: Fuck yeah, she is.

Amanda: Apparently this is a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo, which makes me even more interested!

Sarah: Holy crap. That’s limitless eye candy.

Lara: The cover is gorgeous but that title is perfection.
