In this week’s Friday Five, we’re celebrating book covers! Book covers inspire you to pick up that book and see what it’s all about. Two of our authors have new book covers. Steena Holmes‘ novel Finding Emma‘s new cover invokes the suspenseful nature of the book, while Jennifer Gooch Hummer‘s Girl Unmoored showcases contemporary young adult design at its finest. The BookSparksPR staff shares our favorite book covers.
