But wait, it's not over yet! This 'Vanity' category has become a blog tradition. It's where I choose my favourite cover in each genre and then draw from the names of the readers who entered them...a kind of draw within a draw. Here are the cover-love winners:
HISTORICAL COVER-LOVE WINNER
(Love the knitted dress detail
and the bound letters just beg to be read. Plus, pink just screams spring and makes my heart sing.)
 |
| WON BY KAY GARRETT |
CONTEMPORARY COVER-LOVE WINNER
(Swoonalicious...really, that's all I can say. Happy sigh.)
 |
| WON BY LEA |
MYSTERY/SUSPENSE COVER-LOVE WINNER
(Love the sense of motion -- is she running from danger or towards it?! And the pop of yellow draws the eye.)
