Gaaaahhh!

Because I found the lousy book cover thread so negative I made a pinterest thread with the title Awesome self-published book covers and now I can't remember which book covers I found so awesome. Except one.

So post your nominations (with image and link) here and I'll pin the awesome ones.

Don't nominate your own books.

Do you mean covers of awesome self-published books or awesome covers of self-published books?

;D ;D
Or do you mean "covers" of awesome self-published books? *motions to guitar sitting beside me* Don't tempt me. I'll do it!  8)
That's a GREAT idea.  :)
But now, of course, I can no longer remember the ones I liked!  I'll have to go look for them.
It was meant to be an antithesis to the tumbl blog where the book designer pisses on covers he hates.

Yes, I saw that. Did leave a bad taste in my mouth too.

Yes, I've been on KB all day, so I got that. ;-) Was just giving you a hard time!
Hrm, they're not all self published, but I've got a Cover Love board going on pinterest as well that does have a number of self published covers on it. You'll probably recognise them from here when you see them- http://pinterest.com/selinafenech/cover-love/
Sorry, Patty - should have made clear I was replying to Selina. It's one of the covers on her link.
what a nice lil spark of positivity. I have one problem: I love them all and now have to go click 'like' or comment on em. wow. great work putting these all together. would love to know the designers for these.
Beware because I scavenge your signature!

MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

(Whut? No devil smiley on this board?)

David's awesome Rakshasa serial covers. Most definitely. :)
Awwwww. :) Thank you. :D

I'll admit that I bought Raquel Lyon's Foxblood books just for the cover. Wow. So I'll nominate that one!

Edit: And it's right here: http://www.amazon.com/Foxblood-Brush-Moon-ebook/dp/B004E3XI08/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1358081000&sr=1-1&keywords=foxblood
I think you tend to like the covers of the genres you read, so I'm not sure I could judge whether covers of the other genres are good, or not. But I suppose you can like them even if they are not considered to be 'good' covers by those in the graphic design and cover industry  :-\.
Not really. A lot of these are urban fantasy/paranormal, which I don't read.

Actually the genre I read most is not even represented here. I'm going purely by pretty pictures and yet of course this will be biased.

I'll list non-fiction covers, too.

(I read mostly hard SF)
Kay Bratt's cover for Chasing China grabs my eyes whenever it is on the page. I love it.
