Decided to start posting a book cover every day, kind of as an inspiration. Starting today with the first fantasy novel I ever read, The Book Of Three by Lloyd Alexander. This is the 1985 paperback, artwork by Don Maitz #BookCoverOfTheDay

@mialiuwrites Those are great too! The characters in this one belong to the same time travel organization, so they're connected, but this one has a Victorian setting and sense of humor.

Today's book cover is To Say Nothing Of The Dog by Connie Willis, cover art by Eric Dinyer, 1998. Great pull quote on this one, and it truly is a brilliant and hilarious book. #BookCoverOfTheDay

Still Life With Woodpecker by Tom Robbins is one of my favorite books and favorite covers. The woodpecker from here was my first tattoo. Cover art by Leslie LePere, 1980. #BookCoverOfTheDay

[A. Lee Martinez @ALeeMartinez]

This is one of my favorite covers, even if a lot of the little details aren’t exactly right. But it captures the feel of the book, which is always the most important thing

Today's book cover is A Bad Spell In Yurt by C Dale Brittain @DaimbertYurt, cover art by Tom Kidd from 1991. This cover captured 12 year old me's imagination, and this wound up being one of my favorite series. #BookCoverOfTheDay
