Literary Hub - The 139 Best Book Covers of 2023

"For what is now the eighth time in a row, I am pleased to present the best book covers of the year—as chosen by some of the industry's best book cover designers.
This year, I asked 47 designers to share their favorite covers of the year, and they came back with a grand total of 139 covers (!), representing work by 85 different designers for 74 different imprints at home and abroad." - Emily Temple - Literary Hub
