Cover Awe: Tarot and Intimacy


Welcome back to Cover Awe!

The Divining Sky by Jill Tew. The silhouette of two people in dark purple, a man and a woman. The man has a high collar and spiky hair. The woman has big curly hair in an afro style. In the bottom of their figures is an orange city scape and a fuchsia woody mountain with two figures on top.

From Squee Me: I don’t know if you feature books that aren’t out yet in Cover Awe, but I spotted this gorgeous cover on NetGalley and am submitting for your Cover Awe consideration!

Sarah: That is really stunning. I love the use of color and silhouettes. And the contrast! Urban sky alongside mountains, trees and giant ass birds – gorgeous.

Lara: I’m a total sucker for landscapes superimposed on people’s silhouettes.

Savor It by Tarah DeWitt. An illustrated cover with a pink, purple, and deep red color palette. A man and woman stand close together in a field with a broken fence behind them. The man has brown hair, a deep red shirt, and black pants. The woman has light brown hair and is wearing a sleeveless, floor length, light blush pink dress. The sky is purple with pink clouds and tall trees peek out from the edges.

Amanda: I like how the couple is interacting, instead of having the two illustrated figures on a nondescript background standing feet apart from one another.

Sarah: Wait, they’re touching? They’re not hanging off a letter or floating into nothingness in a corner? Is that…allowed?!

The Lovers by Rebekah Faubion. Designed like a tarot card for The Lovers. The background is a desert setting with cacti and bare trees. Two women look like they're about to kiss. One has a brown bob and is wearing a white crop tank and jeans. She has her hand on the other woman's waist and the other reaching up to her face. The other woman is taller with blonde wavy hair and pink tips. She has on a mauve tank top and pink skirt. Her arms are around the brunette's neck.

Amanda: I love the tarot card design!

Sarah: I LOVE the tarot reference and the backdrop, the color palate – this is exquisite. And so smart given how popular astrology and tarot are at the moment culturally.

Wish You Weren't Here by Erin Baldwin. An illustrated cover of two young woman standing away from each other in from of the entrance to a summer camp. The one on the left has dark brown skin and a wavy dark brown bob with white tips. She has on a white halter top and matching white pants. A rolling white suitcase is next to her and she has a pink cell phone in her hand. The other woman has lighter brown skin and long wavy brown hair with lighter brown highlights. Her arms are crossed. She has on athletic pants and a dark gray cropped tee. She has a pink duffle bag at her feet.

Amanda: Their outfits and luggage communicate so much.

Sarah: You’re so right. This cover is telling me so many things without using any words, but also not only relying on body language. I know the setting, elements of the conflict and the characters? Seriously. This is superb.

AND AGAIN they aren’t floating off into space glaring at each other while dodging a random cup of coffee and a bird.

Someone you know wants to read this, right?
