The Best Book Covers of 2025: Round Three

22 hours ago 7

The Best Book Covers of 2025 continues to be the closest competition yet, a sign that no matter who wins, all of these book covers are amazing in their own right. In Round Two, nearly every bracket was a close call, and HALF of the matches ended with one book being more popular on one platform, but the other book winning out because of votes on the opposite platform. The Intentions of Thunder had more votes than Palaver on web polls, but the latter ended up winning enough Instagram votes to put it on top. Same went for Lightbreakers vs. Television for Women, and We Computers vs. Hardly Creatures. Debatably, the most thrilling match was Terry Dactyl vs. Foreclosure Gothic; the former seemed to be the clear winner on Instagram with thirty more votes, but on our web polls, the latter knocked it out of the park.

Check out the bracket below to see how the matches shook out:
