Cover Story: My Top Five Indie Covers!

I love book covers. I admit it...as much as people say "don't just a book, yadda, yadda"...I'm a total cover fanatic. Like for instance today, a friend of mine was telling me about a book, a major 800 page, apocalyptic vampire story which I might not have even given a second look to---too long, too gory, too not YA (haha), but then I saw the cover: "Ooo, pretty cover!" and for one second, I considered picking it up. So, yeah, I'm a cover hound. Definitely.

So, the one thing I DO believe in is this: don't judge a book by its publisher! I've found some great, nay, ...fantastic indie books in my reading adventures. So, let's talk about Indie covers. The fun thing about Indie covers is the fact that, in most cases, the authors choose their own covers. What's so cool about that is you get to see a cover that really depicts how the author sees their own character and the world that they've written.

Here are just a few of the amazing covers that I've discovered in my wanderings around Goodreads, all Indie or small publishing houses. Enjoy the eye candy!!

Somber Island
by T. Lynne Tolles

This one sounds amazing, about a servant girl and a mysterious master of the house, ghostly dreams and strange creatures!

I'll definitely be checking this one out...a young girl who suddenly starts seeing dark auras around everyone, in a town where everyone seems to be acting a little strangely. Oh yea, she also has a ...q-tip habit?? That alone has me so curious about this one! :D

So curious about this one! Greek gods, creepy dreams, and a girl who must leave her own time and venture into the past to assume the role she's meant for: saving an ancient empire from evil forces! This sounds so cool!
