"As is now Literary Hub tradition, 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 54 designers to share their favorite covers of the year, and they came back with a grand total of 167 covers (NB: for the purposes of this list, series concepts will be counted as single covers), representing work by 105 different designers for 83 different imprints at home and abroad. This year, there was somewhat less consensus than usual–the first place citation only got 8 mentions, compared to last year's 12, and only 62 covers were selected by more than one designer, leaving over 100 selected by only one–which ultimately just means we have more exciting book covers to look at than ever." - Emily Temple/Literary Hub
