Elyse: Could we actually have an alien romance in cover awe!?

Amanda: Is that an alien romance?! Also in fairness I do love the new ice planet barbarian covers

Elyse: It is an alien romance! The other book in the series is gorgeous too!

Tara: Oh my! Those are stunning!

Sarah: I would not be surprised to see that image as a poster available for sale. Wowser, that’s pretty.

Sneezy: SO pretty! I love the cascading flowers!

A Duke in Winter Anthology. A snowy scene in front of a white arch that is decorated with holy. A woman with brunette curly hair piled atop her head and wearing a deep blue dress crouches to pick up her white fur shawl. She holds a letter with a red wax seal in her hand.

Amanda: While I’m getting Lindsey Lohan vibes from the woman, I like the illustration and vintage quality of it

Sarah: That is VERY Lohan-esque. What is she doing with her hand? Is that snow or a muff? I think it’s a muff. And I love the design of the whole cover.

Sneezy: Yeah, I agree! The colours and layout reminds me of pretty stationary.

The No Girlfriend Rule by Christen Randall. The background shows the storefront of a comic book shop in shades of yellow and orange as two figures smiling at each other. One is a woman with long brown hair. She's plus-sized, wearing jeans, black flats, and has on a purple sweater. She has a dark purple tote bag with a variety of pins on it. The other woman next to her has tan skin, an orange t-sheet, jeans, and is wearing sneakers. She has a pixie haircut with dark brown hair underneath and pink hair on top.

From Jen MG: I just saw two incredible covers that need to be considered for Cover Awe!

Elyse:I love the warm colors

Sarah: I love the cover for The No Girlfriend Rule. It’s so cute and charming and a little vulnerable, especially the one hand touching the hair like oh my gosh this person is talking to me?!

If a cover trend is Adorable AF Queer Folks, I’m very happy with that.

Sneezy: Awwww! This is just stinking cute! I love the warm colours, the happy queer people, the nerdy stuff the shop is selling, all of it! Just all of it!

Isabel and the Rogue by Liana de la Rosa. The background is a library with deep green shelves and a fuchsia curtain. Two figures sit on a gold a fuchsia couch. The man is wearing dark pants, shoes, and vest. His white long-sleeved shirt is rolled up to the elbows and he has on a green cravat. He has sandy hair and a matching beard and mustache. He's holding the hand of the woman next to him. The woman has tan skin and dark brown hair with red and white flowers in it. She has on a yellow dress with a square neckline hemmed in a white ruffle. In her free hand, she's holding a book.

Amanda: Oh I love the Isabel and the Rogue cover!

Sarah: The library and the yellow gown are probably Beauty and the Beast references, and everything else is so interesting and beautiful – the filigree window and the lower border are especially cute.

Lara: They’re both gorgeous!

Sneezy: I, too, plan to seduce my love interest with shelf space.
