Books By Their Covers is a feature here on Katie’s Book Blog. It is created by me and it is a chance for me to share my love of book covers. In this feature, I will pick one book cover and give you guys my opinion of it.
My opinion: I think this cover is awesome! It has a very steampunk feel to it and the girl looks fierce holding those scissors. I also like how the girl is in black and white on the purple background. The splash of color is perfect. Also, the title font has a very Sherlock Holmes feel to it. Based on the cover alone I would totally buy this book!
I completely agree! The cover for Etiquette & Espionage really captures the premise of the book so well, and you can right away that there’s an historical aspect to it as well.

Yes! I have an arc of this one and I can’t help but ogle the gorgeous cover! I LOVE the purple background and the black and white girl … with the coloured scissors in her hand! Such a pretty cover. 🙂
The cover is so pretty!The summary sounds just as good too, but I would totally buy the book just because of the cover too. I can’t wait to read it. 🙂
I love it! The purple is such a pretty cover ^^ And the girl gives me a real kick-ass feeling and I like that in a book.
Me too! This one sounds SO stinking good too! I can’t wait for this one to come out! Gorgeous cover.
I totally agree! The cover looks awesome and I love the Sherlock Holmes and steampunk feel to it.
But even without the gorgeous cover, I am super excited for this one!

I totally agree with your thoughts on this cover. It’s awesome, unique, and totally has a steampunk feel to it. Not to mention the fact that it totally fits with the title. Etiquette and Espionage. The woman on the cover is clearly a spy (look at the scissors which I guess are an unconventional weapon) but the stick straight back, hairdo, and fierce expression on her face are that of a woman with proper etiquette. It’s gorgeous and I can’t wait to read it one day.
Totally agree, that’s a wonderful cover.
The scissors are so creepy!! Like she was just doing some sewing or whatever and now she’s about to kill someone 🙂
