It's fascinating to see which book covers are chosen by SPINE and LitHub in their round-ups each month. Sometimes there's significant overlap between their lists and mine, but this month we only chose a few of the same covers. I was surprised that Brawler by Lauren Groff, designed by Jaya Miceli and featuring art by Vladimir Dunjic, was not included in the others' posts. I assumed it would be the popular choice! It’s a beautiful cover.
