With so many books, you need SOMETHING to drag you in if you are just browsing and the cover art is primary if you aren't looking for something in particular. I have on occasion picked up a book just based on the cover.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-86404150698713952932009-07-14T06:40:07.067-04:002009-07-14T06:40:07.067-04:00yvonne, I agree that it is true that the covers of...yvonne, I agree that it is true that the covers of romance novels are usually pretty bad...and let they are BIG sellers, so I guess their readers don't mind or actually like them, right?<br /><br />I am not sure Mae how much input authors have. I imagine it differs but I also guess I presume it is a lot, that it really represents the books when I use the cover to judge the book. hmmmm.....caitehttp://caitesdayatthebeach.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-53812544694477317302009-07-13T23:48:55.600-04:002009-07-13T23:48:55.600-04:00I feel sorry for authors with books with bad cover...I feel sorry for authors with books with bad covers too! I wonder how much say they get in the cover design though.

The romance genre might be one of the worst for covers. It's a good thing I make my shopping lists before I even see a cover.

I've read so many books I haven't liked this year that had great covers, that I've decided I need to go on something besides just the cover.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026655338225093707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8684061712648858453.post-43121853557941828892009-07-13T14:26:52.651-04:002009-07-13T14:26:52.651-04:00did you catch and release? maybe you will catch th...did you catch and release? maybe you will catch them again someday.

I do wonder sometimes whether the author has any say at all in the cover that is used for their book...some are just horrible! You know, I have also applied the same theory to wine buying. It's all about the label!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
