I’ve started work on the 2024 List of Lists and in doing so, I came across a list by Print Mag – the 2024 100 Best Book Covers.
Don’t judge, but I totally judge a book by its cover! After all, the cover is a book’s ‘elevator pitch’, right?
If Print Mag’s goal was to add to my TBR, then it’s achievement unlocked – I’ll be checking out:
- How to Make Herself Agreeable to Everyone by Cameron Russell
- My Men by Victoria Kielland
- Gretel and the Great War by Adam Ehrlich Sachs
- Greta and Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly
- Dear Dickhead by Virginie Despentes
- Ask Me Again by Clare Sestanovich
- Birding by Rose Ruane
- The Manicurist’s Daughter: A Memoir by Susan Lieu
- The New Life by Tom Crewe
- Perfume and Pain by Anna Dorn
- May Our Joy Endure by Kevin Lambert
- Naples 1925 by Martin Mittelmeier
- The Observable Universe by Heather McCalden
- Scrap by Calla Henkel
My personal favourites for the year – All Fours, Clear, Thunderhead, Whale Fall – are you sensing a theme…? Also I bought The Divorcees and Scaffolding based entirely on their covers. And that sheep on The Alternatives.
