Austenesque Lovers TBR Challenge 2023 discussion

For all those who do judge a book by its cover (and that includes me) and want to talk up favorite covers, cover artists, quirky covers, cover contests, and more. Questions about covers are welcome. It's fine if you wish to point out that you are less than impressed about a cover or a type of cover, too, but be kind in your critique. 

Our first Cover War of 2023!

Not In Want of a Wife by Amanda Kai is off to a good start.

Sorry I didn't post how long was left for that voting round, I guess it must have ended soon after I posted this and it must have missed the cut to make the next round.

Yay! Sailor’s Rest won!!!!!!!

Congratulations to Don Jacobson on the win!! Yay, team!

I would like to share pictures of new kindle's cover. It is from klevercase.com. It looks like a leather bound version of P & P. They embossed a quote that I chose on the inside cover in gold using the Jane Austen handwriting font. It is amazing. Just like a book. They use traditional book binding techniques since that is what they are. The attention to detail is incredible.

Edit: I have uploaded photos to: https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...

I can't recommend this case enough. Not affiliated with the company and I paid for the cover. I hope this helps other people here who love all things JAFF.

Loved it! Truly unique cover.

I hope this helps other people find this. I am sure that they will love it as much as I do. My husband was so surprised at the quality. It has actual stitching. So great!

Wow! That was amazing. Dang, I may have to get a Kindle just to have one of those. Again... wow!

Now I am glad that my old kindle died! I love the new paper white. I love that I can listen to audio books on it.

I actually have a NOOK and use the Kindle App. When I retired, everyone gave me B&N gift cards. Back in the day, we actually went to the bookstore. The next time I was in B&N, they were having a sale on the NOOK. So, I got one.

I have heard good things about the paperwhite. If I ever have to get a new device, I may consider it.

That looks amazing! My Kindle cover has the same Peacock design but it’s made from board and is starting to look a bit dog-eared now. Might have to treat myself to one of these!

Oh, they make them in hard board as well. Maybe it is from the same place. Mine is vegan leather.
