Cover Love {Indie Edition}

Sometimes self-published authors get a bad rap because of a few that don't care about how their book looks, as long as it's published. But then you have those that show that they really do put time, effort, and expenses into their works. So I'll be featuring a few of these lovely covers here today! I wasn't asked to advertise, and I don't necessarily recommend them, as I haven't read them all—I'm simply admiring their book covers.

Martin Hospitality—Abigayle Claire

Watercolor covers are hugely popular right now, with this one being no different! The fonts complement the picture so well. (Yes, you'll probably hear me talk about fonts a lot. Because, I mean, fonts are epic and I love them.)

 Seek—Angela Watts

When thinking of a way to describe this cover, the first phrase that came to mind was "kick-butt." Seriously, that's what every single element in this cover screams. And I'm kind of a fan of those boots.

Quest for Leviathan—Amanda Tero

Okay, I'm gonna talk about the fonts again. Sure, I love the picture, and the water is perfect, but those fonts! I love the color that really pops out, as well as the shadow that really adds dimension that you don't really even realize is there until you look for it.

Gift from the Storm—Rebekah Morris

Okay, yeah, another font instance. But those colors are spot-on. the pinkish tint on the gray background is amazing and ties everything together with perfection.

Live Without You—Sarah Grace Grzy

Yeah, this is one of those covers that makes you say, "awww!" I don't know what it is about the night sky, but I love the colors all blended in. And the white lettering stands out in such an epic way.

The Old River Road—Ivy Rose

This cover really looks pretty simple until you take a gander at that title and the design surrounding it. Wow. It really looks like something you'd see on a banner during the 1800s, which would be when the book is set.

Widow's Heart—Willowy Whisper

Yep, the colors. The colors are everything in this cover. The pictures seriously blend together in a way that just makes you sigh in contentment. I mean, the fonts too, of course. The fonts, the photos, everything . . . this is a talented designer.

Beyond Her Calling—Kellyn Roth

Yes, just so much yes about this cover! Once again, all the photos blend together so smoothly, complementing each other in an irresistible cover. Plus, I'm a huge fan of music, so of course that kinda clinches the deal.

 Have you read any of these? Are they as good on the inside as they are on the outside? Which was your favorite?
