SPFBO 9 is here! That means more books to add to the TBR. With the primary contest comes the cover contest, where each blog must choose their three favourite covers from their allotment and then bloggers and public vote for one winner. Thanks to this spread compiled by Zack Argyle, you can see all the covers for this year’s contestants.

With so many beautiful covers entering this year, I tried picking up three from each group that I found interesting and appealing. Here are my would-be finalists no one asked for:
