You might not think about it often, but color plays a big role in book cover design. The cover catches your eye, inviting you to pick it up and read. From there, the words do their magic inside, but the first look is in the cover! If you’re like us, we love the spectrum of colors and are excited to feature a new color of book covers for you each month. You may just find your next favorite read in this roundup, all based on one color! November’s feature color is ORANGE. From classics and sci-fi, to thrillers and new releases, enjoy these fall-themed orange and vibrant covers and pick up a new (or old!) favorite book!
