There are a lot of books with eyes on the cover! So I tried to narrow it down to books that it was mostly just the eyes, and not a whole face in the picture. And again, I have 10 favorites, although a couple of the numbers are series where the whole group has eyes. Here they are:
10. This is a classic, had to be included.
8.

1. And my favorite is actually a series:
So many books with eyes on the cover! These are my favorites, what do you think of them?
Ooh, almost forgot this one!!
There's something so spooky about eyes on a cover – even in non spooky books. I do love The Great Gatsby cover! I'm intrigued by the Victoria Scott covers too. Great cover topic!
The original cover I had for the Victoria Scott books didn't look like that, so I didn't know if I'd like the new covers or not. But they turned out well. Thanks for stopping by!
The Great Gatsby cover is a classic, no doubt. Some scary ones there too! I like those Tahereh Mafi covers a lot, very distinctive – and that last one has me curious! Great list.
The last one if I remember right was only okay, had some issues with the actual story. But loved the cover! Thanks for visiting!
I love your number 1, who can beat that? Those covers are so beautiful! I love covers with eyes and always want to know the story they have to tell…
Eyes can always fit just about any theme I think. And I do love that series. Although the original cover of the first one had a girl in a white dress, and just didn't really match the story, so I was glad when they changed it. Thanks for stopping by!
Ah, you did the same thing I did to narrow it down since there were so many. Obviously I agree that the Shatter Me books are gorgeous since I chose them, too! But I also love those Victoria Scott ones! I'm going to have to see what they're about since they look interesting.
I do highly recommend Victoria Scott's books if you haven't read them yet. This series is very similar to The Hunger Games. Thanks for visiting!
Great post! I love the Shatter/Unravel/Ignite Me series, I totally agree with you. I don't know what it is, but the eyes are fantastic! I love what they've done with them. I can't pick just one favourite out of the three though… each time I make up my mind it changes again lol. Very eye-catching!
All the best,

Same here. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow, you found a lot of covers to include for this topic. Great job. I like how you focused on books with just eyes instead of a whole face. Nice touch.
It made it easier, otherwise with a face on there too there would have been way too many!
Lots of 'eye' novels. Judging just by the covers, Sneak looks good. 🙂
