A bit too much going on this month for my liking, but no shortage of great covers…
Car Crash by Lech Blaine; design by Design by Committee (Black Inc. / March 2021)
Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner; design by Na Kim (Knopf / April 2021)
This reminded me of Lynn Buckley‘s cover from a while back for On the Noodle Road by Jen Lin-Liu.
Dirt by Bill Buford; design by Gabriele Wilson (Vintage / April 2021)
The Free World by Louis Menand; design by Rodrigo Corral (Farrar, Straus & Giroux / April 2021)
From a Taller Tower by Seamus McGraw; design by Alex Camlin (University of Texas Press / April 2021)
Gold Diggers by Sanjena Sathian; design by Stephanie Ross; illustration by Sky Goodies (Penguin Press / April 2021)
Namesake by Adrienne Young; design by Kerri Resnick; photograph by Sveltana Belyaeva (Wednesday Books / March 2021)
This is, of course, only half the picture… Fable was published in September and featured in my 2020 YA cover round-up posted in January.
Nancy by Bruno Lloret; design by Gabriele Wilson (Two Lines Press / April 2021)
New York, New York, New York by Thomas Dyja; design by Rodrigo Corral (Simon & Schuster / March 2021)
Two New York covers for Mr. Corral this month.
The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing by Hannah Dawson; design by Olga Kominek (Penguin Classics / March 2021)
Oculta by Maya Motayne; design by Aurora Parlagreco and Jenna Stempel-Lobell; art by Mark Van Leeuwen (Balzer & Bray / April 2021)
The cover of Nocturna, the previous book in the series, was featured in my 2019 YA round-up.
Red Island House by Andrea Lee; design by Tristan Offit (Scribner / March 2021)
Refugee by Emmanuel Mbolela; design by Eva Gabrielsen (Farrar, Straus & Giroux / April 2021)
The Revelations by Erik Hoel; design by Alex Merto (Abrams / April 2021)
The Twelve Lives of Alfred Hitchcock by Edward White; design by Jason Ramirez (W. W. Norton / April 2021)
2034 by Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis; design by Christopher Brian King (Penguin Press / March 2021)
Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin; design Luke Bird (Open Letter / April 2021)
I believe this cover was originally used in the UK last year for the Daunt Books edition, but I missed it. Open Letter are publishing the book in the US and Canada this month, so that’s as good as an excuse as any to post the cover now.
