I love book covers especially when they are done very well. A month ago I was having a conversation on Twitter with fellow writers about book design. Does the book cover matter? Would you only buy it for the cover? This post came from our discussion. I do love book covers. They are the first to draw me towards a book. I then read the back blurb and thumb through the first chapter. If I like the hook and the writing I am so there!
Usually the cover is what first introduces you to a book besides the title. They are a great pair! I chose to share my favorite book covers with dragons. I love dragons and right now I am reading some fantasy novels with dragons in them. I hope you enjoy the covers! And as always they are in no particular order.
Do you have a favorite book cover with a dragon on it that I didn’t mention? Please share in the comments.

Great covers! Lots of those are on my TBR list, though I haven’t read many yet. Is the George Martin one good? The only thing I’ve read by him is A Song of Fire and Ice. 😉
Hi LK Hill! Thanks for dropping by. I am glad you liked the covers! Some of them are also on my TBR list. I wish I could tell you more about George Martin’s book. I’ve heard good things though. I just love dragons. Do you have dragons making an appearance in any of your books? I know you write Dystopian novels.
