Interesting book covers

Have you ever perused Pixabay or some other photo site and stumbled across an image that would make an amazing book cover, but not for anything you’re writing? I don’t know why I feel sad or regretful about those images, since somebody will eventually use them. I just regret that I can’t use them. But I do like to admire them. (*^-‘) 乃

Got any you’d like to post? We can pity these currently unappreciated future book covers! (ღ˘ᴗ˘ღ) :blue_heart::heavy_heart_exclamation:애! :heart:

I feel like these would make incredible covers…but not for anything I’m writing. (♯^.^ღ)

A beach read! (>‿◠):v:

I feel like this one would make an awesome cover for a Jane Eyre sequel, if Jane maybe became a governess to a field of wheat. :joy:

There’s a Jane Eyre prequel called Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys!!

I think I’ve heard of that; in fact, I think it’s on my wish list if I’m not mistaken. Unfortunately, I just looked it up on Amazon and they don’t have an ebook version of it yet, so I’m going to have to wait. I’m not going to buy it at Amazon anyhow, but if Ammy doesn’t have it, then no one else does either. D’oh! (ノ_<、)ヾ(´▽`)

Those are beautiful to look at. I’ve never been on Pixabay, but these are really nice.

Ahh I checked. Most of her novels aren’t available in ebook format yet. It’s weird… Wide Sargasso Sea is a Big Jubilee Read and all

Also these look AI generated :face_with_monocle: I personally wouldn’t use em. The one with the top hat reminds me of The Medusa Frequency by Russell Hoban.

I always think random images I find would make great book covers but it never works lol

I sadly don’t see the appeal of AI, none of these look very good to me, but there are certainly tons of beautiful pics just waiting to be used out there! I know when I’m searching for stock I sometimes come across wonderful photos that would make perfect covers… maybe I should make em xD
