I've gotten back into making some patterns of book covers and I'm pretty bored these days so if you have a book cover in mind that you want made, I can probably do it!
Here are some things to keep in mind:
If the book cover is just two colors or only simple text, it won't get accepted due to some policies on Braceletbook. For example, the black and white cover of "If We Were Villains" is only black text and some vines, which would make it hard to make a pattern.
Smaller patterns are harder to make look good because then the text won't be legible. Also, the smaller details of the cover won't come through. You can look at some of my already-done patterns to see what sizes can have legible text.

Maybe you could make one of the book covers for 'The Wheel of Time' series? The version I had in mind are all pretty similar, but the key image is always the two rings and snake. 🙂

Cool idea! I checked out your patterns so far and they look great.

My mind went to classic books that have pretty iconic covers. Do any of these work?

Brave New World: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zE42gT3xL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg
Slaughterhouse-Five: https://images.penguinrandomhouse.com/cover/9780385333849
The Catcher in the Rye: https://target.scene7.com/is/image/Target/GUEST_229f3fe4-ab67-4589-ad8b-45b6378be7a6?wid=488&hei=488&fmt=pjpeg
The Great Gatsby: https://i0.wp.com/americanwritersmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/CK-3.jpg?resize=267%2C400&ssl=1

Would you ever consider iconic album covers? Those could make for cool patterns, too.

@Softawoo Yes I love the iconic classic book covers! I might consider doing album covers, but I'm typically more of a book person, so I'll stick to books for now
