2024 was \u2026 a year!<\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re still reeling from it, the holidays are a perfect time to get punch-drunk distracted on a bounty of brilliant book covers.<\/p>\n

For as much insanity as the year held (and it was \u2026 a lot!<\/em>), it was offset by a constant stream of cathartic tomes and jackets. To that end, in 2023 our annual December list featured 50 titles\u2014and it has now doubled to 100.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Some of my personal favorites: Thomas Colligans\u2019 beautiful cover for Beautyland<\/em>, which has been stuck in my head for the better part of a year. Janet Hansen\u2019s work on Ask Me Again<\/em>, is equal parts electrifying and haunting. Pablo Delcan\u2019s genius VanderMeer covers the best encapsulations of the Southern Reach series since his Spanish editions<\/a>. Arsh Raziuddin\u2019s jacket for Knife<\/em>. Alex Merto and Seymour Chwast\u2019s Tom Wolfe reissues. Pete Adlington\u2019s utterly perfect Not Waving But Drowning<\/em>. Grace Han\u2019s take on God of the Woods<\/em>, which disproves the theory that great covers are only the stuff of niche imprints and genres and not mainstream bestsellers. And so many others, which you\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s to all the striking work in 2024, and all that we have to look forward to in 2025. There has truly never been a better time to get lost in a book\u2014or a book cover.<\/p>\n
