I read lots of beautiful books this year. Here are some of my favourites!

sugarbread

Sugarbread – Balli Kaur Jaswal

I have to say that I just adore this one. I feel like Singapore’s publishing industry has evolved a lot in the past few years and I like that more attention is being paid to the artwork on covers too.

Mr Splitfoot – Samantha Hunt
An intriguing cover!

The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye – Sonny Liew

This isn’t the version of the book I have (see below). But I kind of adore this one, which has the look of a traditional Chinese ad in Singapore.

I love this one – both the simple cover and the stories that Lucia Berlin tells

Mercury – Margot Livesey (my thoughts)

The blurry horse in the background is a hint at what the story is about.

Flight – Oona Frawley (my thoughts)

Sometimes the simplest of covers work best

longway

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet – Becky Chambers

Who wouldn’t gaze at this image and wonder what the universe is like?
