Top 10 Book Covers Featuring Futuristic Cities

Hey bookworm friends, get excited because it’s #scifimonth2024! This is the first year I’m participating in this blogging event, and I’m hoping to soak up some scintillating sci-fi stories. Today’s TTTopic is Books with *Insert Item* on the Cover. Luckily (or cleverly), it lends itself perfectly to sci-fi month’s prompt of “Future Cities” so I’ll be sharing book covers featuring futuristic cities or buildings. I’ll divide them into two categories: those I’ve read and those on my TBR.

Book Covers Featuring Futuristic Cities

My Review

Predator’s Gold (Mortal Engines Quartet #2) – Philip Reeve │Cover Artist: Ian McQue
Moving cities compete with each other for resources in a steampunk dystopian world.

The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport – Samit Basu│Cover Artist: Sparth

My Series Review

    1. Thanks for visiting my blog, Lindsey! And I agree they’re all so pretty and Moon Soul was such a cozy sci-fi that I loved too!

  1. Ooh enjoy Sci fi month. It’s a genre I really want to try and get into so hopefully I’ll try it out one year. Either next year or the one after depending on how my readings going. I hope you have a lovely time and maybe your posts will help me discover more sci fi to add to my list.

    I do want to try the Mortal Engines one day having enjoyed the movie. The cover of Moonsoul has caught my eye so ill have to check the blurb out later (and your review too) what did you think of Jinn Bot I remember seeing it around?

    Gogmagog is another I’m definitely going to have to look into. I’ve got the last two on my list as well although I think the tower one intrigues me most out of those two. It sounds so unusual. That and Service Model are also my favourite covers so apparently the colour scheme works for me 😂

  2. OOh fun topic choice! These are all new to me picks! This would be an interesting one for me to do and challenging as there usually aren’t any defining things to mark a location on my covers. Usually it’s people or things! Lol.

    Thanks for visiting my TTT!
