Top Ten Covers of 2021
I chose my favorite covers from 2021 releases I’ve read. Not only were these fabulous stories, but just look at the gorgeousness!!

As you can see from these faves, I tend to gravitate toward illustrated covers, and I love vivid colors!
I just realized that the way I placed these in the graphic, Alma from Alma Presses Play and Izumi from Tokyo Ever After are facing each other with very similar expressions on their faces. (And I love the paper cut-out effect on Tokyo). Oh, hey, Wren from Violets Are Blue kind of has it too—only she’s facing forward—and Me (Moth) might match it if Moth were looking up. Apparently, I like that serene closed-eye look. Who knew?
