I have had this post in my drafts for SO LONG because it is very hard to find book covers with pomegranates on them. And of course I wanted them to be sci-fi/fantasy, since that’s what my blog is about. And I had to try and make sure it wasn’t actually figs I was seeing (easy to tell apart in real life, not always so easy in little illustrations). And I wanted them to actually be pretty. (I absolutely refused to use the Midnight Sun cover. They managed to take the ugliest photo of a pomegranate I’ve ever seen. I’ve taken better photos of pomegranates on my 2009 flip phone while eating said pomegranates.)
Anyway, here you go, some beautiful pomegranates!
Book covers (except the last one) link to Amazon US (with affiliate links, so I’ll make a bit of money if you buy anything through them)!
Beautiful art and an intriguing cover.
Also beautiful, and I especially love the colors.
Admittedly not the most exciting, looks to be some photos of pomegranates on a swirly background, but it’s still pretty and eye-catching.
Not just beautiful but also so interesting with the burning dagger(?) and seeds flying everywhere. I didn’t know pomegranates could look so intense!
This one is so unique and cool!
The cover I used is the UK cover because this one shows off the pomegranates better. And it’s very pretty in a different sort of way than the other covers. Looks like something you’d see as art on a wall in a fancy historical building. Does that make sense to anyone else?
Another pretty one, and I do love a red and black color combo.
I truly think pomegranate seeds are beautiful. Red is my favorite color, and just, you know, look at them! So I love this gorgeous close-up.
This one is more of a blocky, graphic-y illustration than the other covers. I like it! It’s eye-catching.
This one is actually a ttrpg book, not a novel, but why not include it? Look at that gorgeous artwork!
Wait! Did you say book covers featuring pomegranates? That I had to see.
I am amazed you found so many, and that they are all really beautiful. My fav might be Whichwood.
Can’t wait to see what random object you might feature next. How about book covers with tooth picks, or potatoes?
I’m glad you like them! They were hard to find! Lol.
I don’t think even I am good enough to find 10 SFF book covers with potatoes on them, let alone pretty ones, haha.
Those are nice covers.
A very Happy Easter to you.
Thanks, I’m a bit late, but Happy Easter lol.
So true about Midnight Sun. Not a great cover. I love Green though- always been a fan of that.
It’s really not. But yeah, I’ve always liked the Green cover too!
I really like the cover for Thief of Spring! I might just add it to my TBR for that alone, lol. I saw another cover recently – Helfyre – but now I don’t know if it’s a pomegranate or a fig. ????
Lol good covers can do that. I looked it up, it’s got the same coloring on the inside but doesn’t look like a pomegranate. Maybe a blood orange? Pretty though!
Ha, I actually immediately thought of Midnight Sun when I saw the title of your post! These are great covers, though!
That cover gives a bad name to pomegranates lol. Thanks!
Oooh! These covers look awesome! I never thought that there would be books that have pomegranates on the cover!
Right? I think I found them all lol.
Okay before I read your intro I was like wow I love that there are enough covers with pomegranates to feature them! But love these covers, I think my favourites might be Green and Lilith
Lol just barely! Those are great ones.
