Favorite book covers

It's possible I've posted this before but who cares right?! Here are some of my favorite book covers.

Anne of the Island, collector's edition, by LM Montgomery.
Anne stands in windswept grass, looking out towards the sea. Gilbert stands off in the distance, looking at Anne. The image evokes freedom and love of place.



The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner.

The King holds a sword point down. He's shown in profile, looking down and his eye is obscured by the hilt. He has scars on his face and his hands. The Queen rests her hand on his shoulder; she is perhaps standing while he is seated or kneeling. He wears blue and gold, and a signet ring with a red stone. She wears red and gold a similar, smaller ring. The image evokes strife, the weight of rule, and the bond between these two figures.

I know, right?! But he still stayed true to the book in other ways. Vanye *is* the dog at Morgaine's feet (if you don't know the book, he swears something like fealty to her, but it's even more, she could do whatever she wants with him). She does have a big white cloak and he does wrap a white cloth around his helm.
