Inspiration Station: Book Covers

I’ll be honest here, I have a fairly good amount of self-control. I can easily eat one cookie and leave the bag and not think about them. I can go an entire season without really buying any new clothes, I can even give up buying my favorite afternoon tea to save some money. If I try, I can have an iron will. However, my kryptonite has always been books and more specifically, hardcover books. It’s getting so bad that I know the only way to not buy new books is simply to avoid going into to bookstores entirely. During my move last month I came home with two new hardcover books the night before we moved because I just had to “say goodbye to our local bookstore…”

So when I saw this link the other day, it made me quite happy. Book cover art has always been a huge source of inspiration for me. I think most of us would be lying if we said the artwork didn’t at least have something to do with why we picked up the book. Here are a few great covers to inspire us all at the beginning of the week.
