Some animals have main character energy (MCE), not going to lie. I believe the ones I’m mentioning in this article have a lot of MCE or are beginning to have it. I mean, some of these covers have these cuties before even the protagonists, so you know what? They are clearly the light, the sun, the shining beacon of their own books. Most of the time, whenever I see a pet on the cover, they have a focal part in the story. They either function as matchmakers or helpers for the main human character. Which it’s so fun to see, because they are always chaotic antics happening around them whenever they start getting involved with the plot. Note: Because we’re mainly talking about book covers, and most of these covers are illustrated, I wanted to include the illustrators and designers who made these beautiful covers. I tried my hardest to find them all, but there are a few that made it impossible for me to do it. With these pets, you’ll, for sure, have the best of time. You’re either going to be solving murders with your trusted, purr-fect friend or fall in love with your rival while this cute pet helps you with some matchmaking of their own.

It has to be interesting; it has to match the vibe inside. They can feature cute pets, but they can also feature sexy fruits or actual books (yeah, a book on the cover of a BOOK?! Wild). It’s clear that artists and cover designers have the most fun.
