The doorbell rang as I was putting my coat on to head out to pick up my youngest from school.
I wasn't expecting a package. I didn't have time for distractions. The snow (yes, in April) was still coming down, and I had to get going or give up all hope of a place in the parking lot.
But I still answered the doorbell. And there was the courier, holding the box sent by Simon & Schuster of my first Canadian copies of Bellewether.
This is my thirteenth book. I have been published for twenty five years. And the feeling of opening that box of first copies, fresh from the printers, and holding an actual book in my hands after years of building something out of nothing, from the tiniest of glimmering ideas to a growing mess of words on a computer to this thing of total beauty that has pages and a cover—that, for me, remains a thrill.
This is, as I've said, the Canadian edition, which will be on shelves here in a few weeks, starting April 24th.
My American publishers, Sourcebooks, will be bringing out Bellewether in the USA on August 7th. The covers are very different, but I love them both.
Here's a short video I made with my cover designer in the States, giving a bit of insight into her process:
Which means, of course, that when August comes around, I'll have another box of brand new books to open, and I'll get to enjoy that first book feeling all over again!
In the meantime, I'm going to celebrate today with a giveaway.
See that copy of Bellewether there on the top of the box in the photo? I'll choose one winner at random to send it to, from those who leave comments below between now and midnight on Sunday, April 08, 2018.
You can comment however you like, but what I'm really curious about is this:
Have you ever bought a book simply because of the cover? I have—I bought D.B. Jackson's Thieftaker, because I thought the cover was just stunning. What about you?
I love both the covers for Bellewether; the Canadian one shows some of the history and relays a sense of loss, but the American one has a magical quality to it.
No, I don’t buy a book purely because of its cover, although that could be what attracts in the first place. I need to read the blurb and get a sense of what the story might be and this will be the deciding factor in whether or not I purchase the book.

The cover on Thieftaker caught my eye also. After reading the blurb, I immediately bought it. The cover on Bellweather would also make me check it out. Covers that are artistically done well attract me because I think that if so much time, talent, and effort have been put into the cover, then even more time, talent, and effort have gone into the book. Of course the blurb and the author’s past books help me make the final decision to purchase. Thank you for keeping me entertained.

Yes, covers can grab me. I first look for authors I like, but as I am browsing, if I see a cover that catches my attention, I will pick it up, read the blurb and that cover will generally make me want to believe what I read.
The Thieftaker is quite an eye catcher.

Caraval is one I bought because of the cover and I wasn’t disappointed!! I can not wait for Bellweather!! I’m tempted to send money to a Canadian friend so I can get it in my hands sooner HAHA!

Generally, the cover can catch my eye and convince me to take a closer look, but I won’t buy based only on the cover. Of course, I read a lot of sci-fi, too, but their covers are never as good/representative of the story, and romance covers can be so unrelated to the story and generic…. most of the time they are disappointing. I do love your American cover for Bellewether, and I loved the Firebird’s cover too!

I can’t wait for this book! I love everything I’ve read of yours and the premise sounds lovely as always. And absolutely. I buy for covers all the time. The last one I purchased for the cover was Stone Field by Christy Lenzi which was a civil war retelling of Wuthering Heights. The cover is absolutely gorgeous!

I am always drawn to a book cover with an old house, particularly with a gothic feel. I don’t like scary books, so not a house that looks scary, but a house that looks like it has secrets. I have found some wonderful new authors simply because of gothic house book covers.

I bought a hardcover copy of The Book Jumper by Mechthild Glaser while on holiday in Edinburgh. On the cover, two figures stand on the open pages of a book. One is a knight in papery armour; the other is a woman in a flowing white papery dress. She appears to be twirling. It’s pure magic.

The cover is always the first thing that catches my eye when I’m browsing in the book store!
I’ve bought many dreadful historical romance books because the cover was exciting 🙂
I can’t wait for Belleweather to come out. It’s always such a pleasure to get your latest book. I re-read your books every few years. Your writing always has something more to give each time I read them.

I most certainly have bought books because of the covers. That is how I stumbled onto a lot of the historical fiction I read…the dresses usually catch my eye lol. It sounds silly, but I adore old dresses.

A book cover can definitely make me pick up a book to take a look, but the story still has to grab me before I would buy it. That said, I would buy any book that you wrote regardless of the cover; I have been looking forward to reading Bellewether for so long now! There are a few authors whose books I buy as soon as they are released, and you are on that short list. Thanks so much for the chance to do that sooner rather than later!

When I worked as a bookseller, I struggled not to judge by the cover. It’s hard though! Most of the time you can tell the publishers apart based on cover design. It’s hard to convince someone that a book is wonderful if the cover art is terrible.

I like the American one because it is different from any of the covers I have seen from all your other books. It is simple yet elegant and leaves much to the imagination as you don’t really get a sense of what the book is about until you get into it. I like surprises so I can’t wait to read it!

I absolutely love the Canadian cover for BELLEWEATHER– it goes so well with the one already sitting so nicely on my shelf. 🙂 I love the American one, too, but the Canadian one just speaks to me.
I have bought many books over the years based on the cover. The ones that stand out the most are City of Bones, by Cassandra Clare– this cover:

The other one was Dreams Made Flesh, by Anne Bishop, which is an anthology set in her Black Jewels world, which I had never read before. That sent me down a rabbit hole to get the rest of the series and I have become a huge fan.

Congrats on the Canadian release of BELLEWEATHER– I can’t wait to read!
I started reading your books because of the cover. The Winter Sea was my first and now I’ve read them all. I like how your covers are all similarly laid out. I can’t wait for your next one and the one after that and the one after that 🙂

All of your books have been marvelous and so can’t wait for this one! Both covers are stunning. I am enticed to pick up books by their covers and titles. I can’t say I’ve ever for certain bought one just for that, but it’s part of the experience, and when a book speaks to me then it has to be mine.

I have been waiting anxiously for the release of this new novel and am beyond excited that I can now count in days rather than months. I love the fresh ess of the yellow gown on the cover of this.

A book cover has caught my attention before, but if the story synopsis doesn’t sound interesting, I don’t buy it.

Ah I love book covers. They certainly attract me to look at the book and consider reading it.
I’m so excited about Bellewether coming out. I have all your books both kindle version and hard cover and I am eagerly awaiting reading it!!

As for the saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” I take a bit of an issue with that. Covers are like invitations. I am an avid reader, and have purchased quite a few books just because of the cover. I think I bought my first Susanna Kearsley novel because of the cover. Not only did I discover a new author, but I fell for n love with Scotland!
Bring on Bellewether!

I can’t say I’ve purchased a book based on the cover art, it’s usually the blurb on the cover that summarizes the book that hooks me. Mind you, if a book has an ugly cover it may deter me from purchasing. It depends.

I have been tempted by a book cover to read the summary but have never read the book because of the cover. I did read the Winter Sea as the book cover and title did intrigue me. It was the first book of yours that I read and I have read everything you have written ever since. I am looking forward to the release of Bellewether. Sad that we here in the US have to wait until August. It was an honor to meet you here in Vero Beach, Fl. when you were on tour with The Firebird. Hoping that you will come our way again someday.

I have bought books just because of the cover. Mostly recently it was the UK hardcover of “Circe” by Madeline Miller. Now I will have 3 copies, but that’s fine. Lol

I have bought books based on the cover before. Sometimes they just pull you right in. For example, now I want to buy the Thiefmakwr after seeing its cover. 🙂

The 1st book of yours that I ever bought was The Shadowy Horses, I loved the cover, but the blurb on the front that compared the book to a Barbara Michaels book is what sold me. I loved The Shadowy Horses so much I found a used copy of Marianna and that was it.. I was hooked. So it is not always the cover, sometimes it is the comparison to other authors that I like that make me try a new author.

I have been enticed by covers since they are what draws me towards the book but I do read the blurb as well. Covers give me so much pleasure since they reflect the story and are important. I have all of your captivating novels and this release is beautiful and fascinating.

I total buy ( judge) a book by its cover! When I was little and would go to the bookmobile I would run my fingers along the book and only choose one that a plastic cover and than I would look at the picture on front and if it didn’t appeal to my youthful senses I would put it back! Of course now as an adult I have matured greatly and will read a paperback but the cover has to grab me first than I will read the description of the book! I have always loved your book covers they always grab my attention!! I’m so excited to read you newest book!

Amazingly, the cover is what makes me choose a book if I haven’t heard of the author before. Even authors I have read or heard of before, if choosing between other books of theirs to read I have noticed I always choose the cover I like the best. (Sort of how I choose wine! lol. The label I like best is the winner!)

I have most certainly bought books because of their cover! Sometimes I have been attracted to books at used bookstores simply because they are dog earred and appear well loved. One or my favourites was by Frank Baker and was published in 1940. It’s called Miss Hargreaves and is a wonderfully funny book about a man who creates a woman out of his imagination and it backfires in the most interesting ways.
I would love to win a copy of Belleweather. Thanks for the opportunity!

Absolutely! If I’m just browsing without really knowing what I’m looking for, the cover is the first thing I look for. Some of my favorite books were picked that way. I discovered you a few years ago after Diana Gaboldon recommended you but your covers are beautiful also!!

I bought Jamaica Inn because of the cover. Also, I really enjoy Daphne… but I was intrigued by the foggy scene! I wanted to stand there in front of the house. After reading it, not so much. 😛
And my in-laws bought The Winter Sea for me just because of the cover. So glad they did!

Only once have I ever bought a book simply because of the cover. It was In Search of Eden by Linda Nichols. The cover had a postmarked envelope from the town I lived in! At that point, I didn’t care what it was about, that was just too neat to pass up. It ended up being a good book, if not exactly the type of novel I normally read.

I frequently buy books because of their covers and as a child, I checked them out of the Library for the same reason. Likely my absolute first love for covers was Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry. Both my parents worked when I was a child and I spent many hours at our neighborhood library and have been a voracious reader all my life. Who needs TV when there are books! Congratulations and best wishes for success with your new novel. I look forward to the American release of Bellewether!

Likely my absolute first love for covers was Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry. Both my parents worked when I was a child and I spent many hours at our neighborhood library and have been a voracious reader all my life. Who needs TV when there are books! Congratulations and best wishes for success with your new novel. I look forward to the American release of Bellewether!
So far have read all your books and waiting anxiously for new one to devour. You have knack for going along and twisting on us at end.
I am hoping you write sequel to rose garden!!! Would like that.
Thank you for enjoyment

I have purchased many books based on the cover! That is one thing I don’t like about ebooks. I can’t display their location very covers. So consequently, I have purchased many ‘real’ books for this very readon. I love all of your covers. The Winter Sea was the first book of y that I read. Looking forward to reading this book.

I have! That book was “the Winter Sea”… something about the cover just drew me in, and reading it started a month-long insatiable delve into your backlist. I can’t wait for the next one. Thanks for the giveaway!!

I definitely judge books by their covers. I won’t pick up a book if it doesn’t have an attractive cover. However, I’ll only buy it if the blurb sounds as good as the cover looks. I’m really looking forward to reading Bellewether because of the cover and it’s blurb!

The covers are beautiful on all your books, and absolutely have purchased books based on their covers! Who can resist a beautiful book? Not this girl! Looking forward to this book, patiently.

An appealing book cover does attract me immediately although I do read the back cover to learn about the novel. Belleweather is a book which I would treasure both for the artistic cover and the memorable story.

I will often pick up a book because of the cover, but i need to read what the book is about before i purchase the book. Opening up a brand new, never before read, book is a delightful feeling!

As others have stated I don’t think I’ve bought a book strictly because of the cover. However, a good cover attracts me and I’ll take a closer look at the book to see if it’s truly something I’d be interested in reading. I enjoy all your books and like the similarity in the covers of the character from behind looking out.

I don’t think I have EVER bought a book because of the cover. I pretty much buy because of the author. I find new authors by recommendations from readers I trust and try to find library copies for a first read. I helps that I have a background of 25 years working in the library.

The language of book covers always entices me. My husband often says if there’s a castle/ruin on a cover, I’ll always buy the book. 😂

I’ve been dying to read your next book forever. Your book covers have always matched how intensely engaging your stories are. A good cover will always make me look but I’ve never bought a book just based on the cover. I trust the plot more than pretty picture.

I’ve never bought based on cover alone, but the cover (and title) is always what draws me in to read the blurb, as it should! That’s the purpose, right? 🤣 But I have absolutely skipped books with not so good covers and bad or uninteresting titles. Hopefully I’m not missing out on a masterpiece!

Covers definitely lure me in! One of my pet peeves us when a book is made into a show or movie and they change the original cover. It’s never as good! Can’t wait to read Bellewether!

I have purchased on cover alone. Mostly in thrift stores. The older looking the book the more likely I am to read it or at least give it a try! Sometimes it makes for very boring reads ha! I also love to buy my favorite books in lovely covers to put on my shelf. I revisit my favorites often. I reread Mariana and Winter’s Sea and Firebird. I love all of your books, but those I like to revisit.

Both covers are wonderful, but I will not be buying your book because of the cover. I will be buying it because I have loved every book of yours that I have read beginning with “The Winter Sea”. Sometimes they keep me up past my bedtime because I cannot put them down. I have read every book you have published since the first and will continue to read them as soon as a new one comes out. Thank you for beautiful writing! I look forward to reading Bellewether!

Several times, including the Winter Sea which is how I was introduced to all your wonderdul books. While I love both covers for Belleweather, I wish I could get my hands on the Canadian version since it better matches all your other books on my shelf. Either way, I can’t wait to read this!

Yes I have purchased books based on the cover. Sometimes I have been disappointed and other times very pleased. Now I just stick with my favourite authors. I am counting down the days until your book is released in Canada. I can’t wait.

I’m often attracted by the cover, but I always read the info on the back cover before deciding. Mostly I stick with my favorite authors, and you are at the top of that list! I would love a copy of the Canadian edition to have that cover, but also because I won’t have to wait until August to read the book! (And even if I win, I will buy the American edition because I love that cover, too.)

I absolutely cannot wait for this book to come out. So much so I pre purchased the Canadian version from Amazon.ca I have also just purchased a book based on the cover. But once I get to know and love an author, the cover no longer matters. Although, I do appreciate a beautiful cover no matter what.

A book cover will absolutely peak my interest in a book, then I read the back cover copy to see if it’s the kind of book I truly would like. Sometimes, though, if the price is right, my judgement for purchase is based solely on the cover design. Susanna, your covers are always beautiful and inviting!

I was going to say I didn’t think I’d ever bought a book because of its cover, however I remembered that I had actually. I fell in love with the cover of Shadowy Horses from the library, so when I went to purchase it I wanted that original cover. 🙂

Susanna Kearsley’s novels have always held my fascination of historical fiction with a touch of some paranormal activity to transport the reader along with the main character further into the story. Seeing the front cover is an invitation to what is inside to intrigue the reader to open the book to another world. What is this woman staring at, while viewing the shoreline? A mystery waiting to be told and maybe to be solve too. Her writing is an easy story telling style to the reader’s mind’s eye in creating the atmosphere and environment. I truly looking forward to this new book…Thank you!

I truly looking forward to this new book…Thank you!
“Brother’s Ruin” by Emma Newman and “Murder at Half Moon Gate” by Andrea Penrose, are two book covers that are beautifully done. The atmospheric scene of each pulled me in. From there the description of the plot intrigued me to look forward to each new one published in the series.

While a gorgeous cover attracts me to the book I have never purchased a book simply because of the cover. I can still hear my elementary school librarian telling me “not to judge a book by its cover” every time I pick up a book!

I just finished The Bookshop on the Corner by Jenny Colgan and it was one of those “I needed that” reads. Of course Scotland didn’t hurt my feelings either😉

I have absolutely chosen a book by It’s cover. There is no better feeling in the world than when you walk into a bookstore and you turn a corner and a book suddenly catches your eye. You have no idea why, or what the book is about. You just know you have to have it. Some of my favorite books have been chosen that way. That happened with me and The Winter Sea years ago. I suppose it’s some form of destiny. Some way of the universe saying that something in that book will help change and mold us. Either way, the covers to Belleweather are gorgeous!

I bought “The Winter Sea” because I loved the U.S. cover:) It was my first Susanna Kearsley book and I currently have all of them except Bellewether. I have read all of them multiple times, but “The Winter Sea” remains my favorite:)

Ottessa Moshfegh’s “Homesick for Another World” collection sounded interesting but it was the cover, with that 50’s-looking spaceship on it, that really sold me. I liken buying a book for its cover to choosing a race horse because you like the color of the jockey’s silks. I’ve also been known to buy a book because the author’s name was interesting – Moshfegh’s book wins on both fronts.

Most often I buy a book simply because of the cover. If it transfixes me into taking me away I know will be a good read simply based on that. Sad, but the honest to goodness truth.

I am attracted by a cover, but unless it is really something I would like to read, author/genre, I simply glance at it. I have read most of your books & really love them. Each one is different, not just a continuation of something written before. I think my all time favourite is still The Shadowy Hirses. Would love to win this one.

Covers have certainly grabbed my attention and made me read the back. Then I decided whether or not the story appeals to me. But i can’t say I have ever bought a book just for the cover.

I love both covers so much! I will probably find a way to get both of them in my hands. I always by books based off of covers. They are honestly what draws me in to begin with. I feel like if the cover just isn’t there than I probably wont be able to get into the book.

I don’t think I’ve bought a book I’ve never read because of the cover, but I maaaaaybe have bought new editions of books I have read before/already own just because I like them.

I will pick up a book because of its cover, or title, but I will buy a book because of its contents (as much as I can tell about it), or because of its author. I buy your books because you wrote them. I have a short list of authors on auto – buy. I read The Shadowy Horses when I stumbled across it in the library, mostly because of the word “Horses” and then the blurb contents. Then I bought a copy. Then I bought Named of the Dragon and you were an auto – buy. Looking forward to many more. p. s. I just recently found/bought (ebook) Every Secret Thing and I so enjoyed it. Thank you.

I definitely look at book covers. And I always feel bad that the author has no say in them. I loved the covers for Winter Sea and the Rose Garden. Shadowy Horses was very mysterious. My eye is always drawn to the cover and then read the back to see if I would like it or not. I’m really excited your new book is out! Don’t you love how new books smell and feel? 🙂

I usually don’t but I saw an ad for Nora Roberts’ Year One and knew I had to read it. I never even read the summary. I cannot wait for Bellewether! August seems like a long time away.

I might have to try Thieftaker until then! Thank you for your wonderful books!

I remember quite vividly discovering Phyllis Whitney because of the cover of Black Amber. (I was a teenager in the school library.) This was the version with Istanbul and grey clouds that filled the cover. I wanted to read that book. The blurb just confirmed that YES! I needed this book. And yes — later in life, I did track down the hardback with that EXACT jacket on it to HAVE FOR MY VERY OWN. I loved that book because the inside delivered on what the outside promised.
I was also quite annoyed with other covers for that book. They never quite captured what I felt was the essence of the book the way the original (or original to me) had.
I did later discover Mary Stewart, but that cover of Black Amber is what pulled me into gothics.

I always have my favourite authors that I’ll go looking for at a bookstore but then if there aren’t any new books from that selection I’ll browse and see what draws me in…. often from the cover! I’ve been reading your books since you first published Marianna and am eagerly awaiting Bellewether 🙂

I have bought a couple of books based on the cover alone. Sometimes it really pays off, and others not so much. I actually sort of decided on my first book by you because of the cover. I loved the cover for Winter Sea and was like “The summary looks interesting. I’ll put it on the list and give it a shot.” After I read that one I had to go read all the others I could get my hands on. I got the Powder Mage trilogy by sight alone, and couldn’t put it down. The next one comes out in May, so I’ll read that while my mother is reading my copy of Bellewether. I promised her she could read the book first when we got it because she’s been waiting longer. She read the excerpt in the back of Named of the Dragon and has wanted the new book ever since.

While many of the books I read are authors I love- like yours, I am a sucker for a great cover. I love to look through the stacks at the bookstore, the local library and online. I’m pretty sure it’s how I discovered the Thieftaker series. Relishing the most recent collection of short stories featuring Ethan!
I can wait, if I must until August but would love the chance to read Belleweather. It seems like I’ve already been waiting a long time for it!

I have most certainly been drawn to a book by its cover, and it is always a pleasant surprise when the words draw me in further!
Congrats on your new book, cannot wait to read it!!

I’m certainly attracted to books with great cover art. I’ll pick them up, read the blurbs and book summary, maybe even read a few pages before I decide. Of course, if I love the author, I’ll buy the book even if the cover is blecch.

Oh, I can’t wait! I am always attracted to book covers. One of my favorite books that was a complete unknown to me was 1000 White Women, The journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus. Having been born and raised in the Arizona desert the scene grabbed me. It was a great discovery. Your US cover for Firebird grabbed me as well and I read all of your books after that first one. Even tho I now read on kindle I enjoy the cover art. Congrats on the completion, I look forward to the read!

This is awful, but I’ve NOT purchased a book because of the cover. I know that isn’t fair. I’ve also bought a book just because the cover was so beautiful. I’m a shallow book lover. 🤷🏻♀️

Thank you so much for sharing the two covers with us, Susanna! They are certainly different but both beautiful. I am guilty of buying most of my books online and so often never give the cover a thought, but I visit my local independent bookstore at least once a month, and there I occasionally succumb to the combination of an interesting title and cover. Two in particular in the last few years were Of Books and Bagpipes by Paige Shelton – which just looked and sounded like fun — and Golden Hill, A Novel of Old New York by Francis Spufford (a fantastic book, by the way!). I’m also a sucker for a blurb by an author I enjoy, and I noticed you have one by Diana Gabaldon on your Canadian copy – marvelous!! Can’t wait to read Bellewether!

I have been thinking, and I don’t believe I have ever bought a book simply because I liked the cover. But the cover is what first catches my eye and causes me to read the description of the story.

So happy for you, Susanna! I really love your books, especially the way you create the feel of the place and the era, and so look forward to reading Bellewether too, as soon as it is available in my country.
And to answer your question, as a rule, no, I do not buy a book solely based on its cover. There is one memorable exception though- a book came up one day in my Amazon recommendations, as Amazon is wont to tempt people. Had never heard of the author. The book was The Scent of Water and the author Elizabeth Goudge but it was so profound a read that it made me a committed reader of Elizabeth Goudge. (If you have a look at the ebook cover, you will understand why it was such an impulse buy).

Yes, I have bought a book because of the cover before, but I usually try to find out more about the book first. I can just buy any book by Susanna Kearsly and never be disappointed.

I don’t purchase books for their covers. But I did initially look at your books because Athena Winter Sea cover was stunning. Since then you’ve become a “must click” author for me, regardless of the cover. Having said that, I would love to own the Canadian cover of your newest release as it is quite lovely and fits so nicely with your other titles. Regardless, I will be clicking and reading as soon as it is released in the U.S.

I am immediately drawn to book covers. I have always loved the look and feel of books and the covers are the best part. Can’t wait to buy Belleweather. I’ve been waiting for it to come out!!!

The cover has drawn me in and then I’ve examined a book and bought it but I’ve never bought a book just because of the cover. Many of the books I love have bad cover art. Wait, isn’t there a saying about judging a book by its cover??!! LOL

The cover of a book is what first attracts a reader, and makes them curious enough to turn a paperback book over to read the blurb on the back, or to open a hardcover to read the summary on the inner fold of the bookjacket. It definitely warms the cockles of a reader’s heart when the story within a book lives up to the promise of the cover illustration. The story and the cover illustration then become indelibly entertwined in the reader’s memory. Of course, some of my favorite books have no book jackets on them, or colorfully illustrated covers, which would lend credence to the old adage that you can’t judge a book by its cover. Your novels, Ms. Kearsley, fall within the category of books with memorable covers AND unforgettable stories, but – I must say that even if your novels were bound within plain unadorned covers, they would still be counted as some of my very favorite books simply based on the wonderful stories within them.

I buy books based on the cover all the time. I’m pretty sure it was the cover combined with the title that lured me into purchasing “The Winter Sea.”
And it happened twice. I purchased it, but something (I’ve long since forgotten what) interrupted my reading then. Several years later, I was attracted to it again (by cover and title), but I couldn’t find my original copy, so I bought it again. That time, I devoured it. Not too long ago, when rearranging bookshelves, I found the other copy. Now I’m doubly blessed.

Yes, The Rose Garden was sitting, spine up on a table of used books for sale at my library. That’s how I was introduced to your books. It remains one of my favorites. To feel the pull of the atmosphere of the story by seeing the cover is an art. Wonderful to get two covers for each book you publish! Congrats, can’t wait.

I don’t think I have bought a book by the cover, but I did once buy a book based on the author name. I was looking for something new and saw the author Anne Gracie. Because my daughter is Anna and my niece is Grace, I tried a new author and have never regretted it and in fact enjoyed her books for years!

A good cover can make you fall in love with a book before you read it, and a bad cover can make you walk away from a book that you might have loved. I often wondered who has ultimate control over a book cover. I’ve always loved your book covers as well as your books. They reach out and grab me, promising me a wonderful journey that never disappoints.

Book covers always speak to me. I go into a book shop and give a first sweep through and see what catches my eye.( I love doing this). I don’t always buy the book but certainly at times I do. The most recent one this happened with was The Silent Companions. What!! a gorgeous cover and different from the norm. It’s black and white with the shape of a keyhole cut out in front. A picture of an eye is looking through it! Marvelous!! The book was a brilliant read too.
Can’t believe I have to wait till August for your new book. I’ve read them all and my favorite is still Sophia’s Secret. Think it always will be. Best of luck with Bellewether.

Both covers are stunning! So excited to read your latest! I absolutely consider the cover when deciding what to pick up off the shelf. Especially if I’m ambivalent about reading something based on the book summary or recommendations alone, I’ll let the cover sway me one way or another. Your question though was whether I have purchased a book solely because of it’s cover… that would be no. I will always read the back or look up recommendations on goodreads first for new books or series. Of course, if it’s an author I already know and love, the cover is immaterial (although thinking about it, all the authors I love have AMAZING cover art). Thank you, Susanna, and CONGRATS on this new release!

How very exciting to receive that box, Susana. Congratulations on the forthcoming release of Bellewether!
An attractive, unusual, or bold cover will certainly catch my attention and have me take a closer look at a book. I don’t believe I’ve ever bought a book though based solely on the cover.

Yes, I definitely choose books by the cover art at times. It is the same for bottles of wine 🙂 I actually bought the first book of yours that I ever read because I loved the cover, the Winter Sea. Since then I have read everything available in the U.S.! I love your writing so much, great characters and historical settings.

Um, yes! An attractive cover frequently grabs my attention, though of course “you can’t judge a book by its cover,” and I’m afraid that has too often been the case for my liking. Having said that, Kate Morton’s covers always grab me, and I’m never disappointed, but then I was definitely going to read them anyway…lol. And I am just as likely to grab a book because of its simple cover…I love the colour and simplicity of Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce mysteries. Now a Kearsley…well, I was going to read that, anyway, too…lol, but a beautiful cover like Belleweather… 😍

I live close enough to the U.S.-Canada border that I’ve been considering a road trip up to get a copy sooner than later. Either way, I’m looking forward to this, particularly given all the easter egg references to other works.

I loved Bellewether! Such a lovely book. I love the timbre of your books, there’s always a sense of kindness and humility amid the adventures! I suspect that has something to do with the lovely, kind, and humble author. 😉
I picked up The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon because of the cover. I was captivated by the cut out of the poodle. I had a much beloved standard poodle at the time, so… Of course, said poodle is discovered dead in the first chapter, so that wasn’t good, but by the end of it, I’d been captivated by the autistic narrator. Good book. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1618.The_Curious_Incident_of_the_Dog_in_the_Night_Time
I am waiting for my box of new book smell to arrive next week! My next book is released on Tuesday! It never gets old! 🙂

I discovered you (and all your wonderful books) when I was hurriedly looking for a book to take on a plane. I grabbed The Winter Sea, just for its cover, and I was hooked. I don’t want the flight to end because I didn’t want to stop reading! I discovered Mary Stewart when I was in high school and have read her books over and over. Thank you so much for carrying on her tradition.

One of my favourite covers is the cover for ‘The Birdman’s Wife’ by Melissa Ashley. I would purchase a book for a cover! I bought an 1884 copy of ‘The Story of Mary Jones and her Bible’ in an antique bookshop for the cover. It would have to be a book that I want to read though otherwise I might order it from my local library. I am looking forward to reading Bellweather.

I don’t normally buy a book just because of it’s cover but I did buy Valley of Horses by Jean Auel for that reason. It was a good decision.

I like the ocean-view cover, but I’m more intrigued by the tree cover. Both are lovely, though.
As for whether I purchase books based on a cover, that’s a negative. A book has to have substance to back up its pretty cover, otherwise I’d rather not bother.

The right cover will definitely make me pick up a book, while the wrong cover might make me skip it. But after I pick it up I have to read the blurb and maybe the first few pages, to see if it’s something I might like.
Donna Thorland’s books have gorgeous covers, and that’s what probably made me pick up the first one in the library-and I’ve been buying them ever since!

I have chosen a book because of the cover. That was a long time ago, and let’s just say I learned my lesson and no longer do that. However, when I’m browsing books in a store or online, the cover usually gets my attention first, and then, I’ll read the synopsis before purchasing.

Absolutely. I have my favourite authors of course and will read anything they publish, but when I am looking for a new author I definitely am drawn to books by their covers.

As an example of a cover that put me off, I had never read Loretta Chase’s book “Lord of Scoundrels” because the original cover screamed old-school bodice ripper. I finally did read it after hearing so much praise, and it was great.

Yes! I love that Thieftaker cover too. I’ve definitely bought books based on their covers alone, which is why I love browsing books in physical stores so much more than online. The Bellewether cover is lovely and I love how the Canadian version matches your other covers, it would be super wonderful to win a copy for my collection of your books!

Actually the first Susanna Kearsley book I purchased, Marianna, was because of the cover. I saw it only the bookshelf at the store and something about the cover drew me in. Once I read the summary I had to have it. I’ve read every book, some more than once, since then. I can’t wait for Bellewether!

I have bought exactly one book because of the cover. BUT I had read the book as a serial in Analog before it was published as a book AND I already owned a mass market paper back of the book.
So my copy of Dune with the John Shoenherr cover was bought IN ORDER to get the copy of Shoenherr’s maker that is on that anniversary cover.
I know this truly isn’t what your question is asking. So the true answer follows that of the other posters. The cover makes me pick up the book; but author’s name, the blurb, and/or the first few pages get me to buy the book.

Oh, definitely! Sometimes I have to buy a book by a favorite author IN SPITE of an unappealing cover…I just pretend it’s not there though!

I took my first writing course from you in the back of The Ginger Press. I like to think every time I open one of your books I can hear your voice. Congratulations on another book. Love the book cover – looking forward to opening your book and losing myself in it. So proud that you are one of my favourite writers. Yeah Canada. This is our Susanna!

I love great covers but cannot remember ever buying the book going just by the cover. Stunning cover will always draw my eye 100 percent but I have to read the blurb to find out the story line. If it sounds great, then the book purchase follows. I love both covers for Bellewether however since I like the historical details I would choose the Canadian cover of your newest book. It would fit nicely among all the other books of yours that I own. I cannot wait to read it! 🙂

Covers do make a difference in my book choices. I like my mysteries cozy, so lots of blood on the cover will likely not attract my interest. I love both Bellewether covers, but I’m partial to the Canadian one, as that’s the one I’ll be reading. 🙂

I’ve never bought a book simply by the cover alone. I always read the blurb. I am influenced by favourite authors. I only discovered your books in recent months and you have since become one of my favourites.

The cover of the Canadian copy of Bellewether is beautiful, and I love the covers of all of your books (published by Sourcebooks), The Firebird being my favorite. Most of my book purchases are eBooks, so the cover isn’t as important.

A cover is a big part of a book for me. That’s not all it takes for me to grab it, of course – I mainly read by author. But, if I’m caught up with all my favorite authors and looking for a new one, I’ll surf for good covers. Sometimes I’m misled, but usually not. For a Susanna Kearsley book, though, you could have Mickey Mouse on the cover, and I would still pick it up with the same sense of anticipation I’ve had after completing my first one by you – which happened to be “The Winter Sea”. Can’t wait for the American version of the new one….Please keep writing…

I purchased Marianna because of the cover – at that point you were an unknown author to me. I now own all your books and wait breathlessly for each new novel. I will be purchasing ‘Bellewether as soon as it is available; I can’t wait to read it.

Your covers are always so gorgeous I’d buy them based on that alone, but after reading the Winter Sea, my first book of yours, I’d still buy them if the cover was of a rock, the writing and the stories are that stunning!!

ALL of the time – particularly with a novel by an author I’ve never heard of/read before. I’ll say that this has always been the case, even before we would have considered society to be image based (which it certainly has become). But I feel that jacket art does so much to inform what the story is about…the tone, the main characters, the setting…
The covers for “Bellewether are SO different to me. I’m curious to see which artists’ interpretation better reflects my own opinion of the story (which, as a long time Kearsley fan and LI native, I can not be more excited to read!).

I’ve definitely picked up books because the cover catches my eye but put some back after reading the blurb. Most books store here stack the shelves with the spines showing so it’s a bit more work!

Yes, I bought The Sword and the Pen by Elysa Hendricks because of the gorgeous cover. The the tag line caught me, “For love, any man can be a hero.” I read and reread because the cover and tag line lived up to the story.

The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher drew my attention with the cover & title! How great to learn that the excitement of opening up your new box of books does not diminish over the years!

Yay! Glad you have a book coming out, and I’m eagerly awaiting release day!
To answer your question: I do check out a book if the cover intrigues me, but I almost always take a few minutes to read a few pages of the book, to see if the author’s voice is something that makes me want to read more.
However Sharon Shinn is an author I discovered because of the beautiful covers of her Samaria Series. I recall seeing the cover for Jovah’s Angel, and it so intrigued me, I purchased it straightaway, only to realize later, once I started reading the book, that it was 3rd in the series! I then had to go back to Barnes & Nobel to purchase the first two books!

I bought Trevelyan by Naomi Musch simply because the cover was magical 🙂
I’m glad you didn’t ask us to pick a favorite between your new Canadian and American covers. Both are lovely, but I’m nostalgic. I probably would have chosen the Canadian cover that looks in keeping with your other stories that I have loved.

Gorgeous cover. I love the colour to start with but the tree in reflection is gorgeous all by itself. Congrats on the new book and well done indeed to the artists who designed this cover – and all others too!

I’m excited for the new book. So excited I’ll probably buy the Canadian version. About covers, I’ve picked up a book due to its cover but don’t think I’ve actually purchased one…

I am with those who say the cover draws them to pick up a book, but the words are what makes the sale. Although nothing is worse than reading a book whose cover you dislike, or whose cover doesn’t match the action of the book. And it is interesting to watch book cover designs align with graphic design fashion. Looking forward to the book no matter what the cover, so although as a UK resident I’m not sure when we will get copies.

I can’t wait to read your latest book! I’ve been used to seeing a woman on your book covers. This one is different, and I like it! I am an avid reader, so I am sure I’ve picked up a book based solely on its cover, but usually I read the description to see if it looks like an interesting read.

I am the sad American who must suffer until August waiting on your book; however, I am also the lucky American because I get the American book cover. As an artist, covers always attract me first, but I have never bought a book based on that alone. I like when the authors have a theme that sets them apart from the others and the cover is intriguing instead of a buff guy kissing a gorgeous girl. Without a preconceived notion or expectation, it is much easier to imagine your own self in the story. I recognize your books from across the room, such as C.J. Archer’s with her green tinted covers. Your cover artist does exceptional work!
Congratulations on Bellewether!

Book covers are a huge factor in the perception of a book for me. That is actually how I discovered your writing. I was perusing Amazon and saw the cover for The Shadowy Horses, and was completely drawn to the cover. That one cover led to the enjoyment of your books. In fact, that is the one book I pick up if I just need the comfort of a good friend and warm cup of tea. I’ve worn out three copies :).

Yes! I have chosen a book based on the cover before and I have certainly ignored books based on their covers. I’m sure I’ve missed some good ones this way. Looking forward to your book! 🙂

I have read too many books based on the cover and titles to count! I think this is the best way to find a new author, and it’s actually how I fell in love with Susanna Kearsley’s novels. I started with Winter Sea and never looked back. The world her novels take you to are breathtaking. She is one of my favorite authors of all times and I cannot wait for this new piece of art!

I think anyone who says that a book’s cover is unimportant or not a factor in their purchase is not being honest… maybe with themselves.
Since childhood, most of us have been told not to judge a book by it’s cover, but the truth is: We DO. It’s the first thing we see and – honestly – the first thing we judge about a book.
The cover is what inspires us to open the book, and getting people to read the hook in the first paragraph is everything.
As writers, we want the cover to evoke the emotions and encapsulate the essence of the book, but we also want the books we write to be worthy of a great cover.
That said, I LOVE your covers, and Bellewether’s is no exception. I’m immediately drawn into the picture and immersed in the longing and sense of anticipation of the woman in her beautiful dress waiting for the distant ship to arrive, carrying her love.
I can’t wait to read it!

I love Susanna’s books and am excited for a giveaway! Thank you. 🙂 I am drawn to books by their covers but haven’t purchased one for it although it’s been tempting. However, Firebird was the first of Susanna’s books I read. It caught my eye as soon as I saw the cover and was so glad I picked it up. I ended up reading the series!

I have never bought a book solely because of its cover. An attractive cover may catch my attention so I read the blurb. Conversely, a tacky cover may put me off so I don’t pick up the book at all.
All of your covers are attractive and have something to do with the story.

This book is just gorgeous! I don’t usually buy from the cover. There is only so much that can be conveyed in that one shot. Of course, your books get purchased no matter the cover…I have pre-ordered both the book and the kindle version so I’ll be thrilled when August gets here! The snow is April is ridiculous! We had ice and snow on Saturday. Just nuts. Congrats to whomever the winner is!!

Of course, your books get purchased no matter the cover…I have pre-ordered both the book and the kindle version so I’ll be thrilled when August gets here! The snow is April is ridiculous!

I need a friend in Canada that would send me a copy of Bellewether. But I am going to have to wait until August. I don’t know where I am suppose to sign in for the giveaway copy. I love everything written by Susanne Kearsley.

I bought First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones based on its amazing cover years ago (and the book was even better than the cover!) First impressions are important (but so is consistent quality for later books from a the same author – I now own all 12 books in that series.)
