MORE Covers

No, stop, don't roll your eyes. Don't click on to your next blog stop. This isn't yet more about the making of covers or about my covers, this is a HEADS-UP that the 2007 Cover Cafe Best Cover voting is open. (This is the one that used to be on All About Romance.) I have oohed and aahed over the beautiful covers; I have wrinkled my nose at the ones I think a bit meh; and I've looked at the "worst cover" category and felt for the authors who had no say while also thinking, I've seen plenty worse.

Toughest category to pick my favourite: Alternate Reality. Also contemporary single title had a couple I really loved and found hard to pick between.

Slightly disappointed that the series (category romance) is top-heavy in non-peopled covers. Not saying they're not gorgeous covers, just that I'd have liked to see some variety which included, for example, a gorgeous traditional romantic cover a la Harlequin Romance. I was also going to say, and a Desire (who me, biased?), but after a quick hunt I couldn't find one from 07 that I loved. Same quick hunt revealed these enticing examples from Harlequin Romance without breaking a sweat.

Guess I'm a bit of a fan of the traditional couples after all. :-)

I was checking out the past winners and I really liked the romantic suspense covers the most.

Jane, I'm usually a fan of romantic suspense covers. So much menace and atmosphere and fear can be conveyed, and that's what I found lacking in most of this year's (in romsus.) Nothing there that I hadn't seen before, nothing really riveting. JMHO, of course.

my toughest categories were Historical, two image and contemporay.
You're right Bron, nothing really jumped out at me

Oh I need to look at that. *laughs* Bron, you really have been all about the covers, recently!

It's Monday morning here (and going badly, but we won't dwell on that), so allow me to wish everyone a good week!

Bron, I couldn't agree with you more about non-peopled covers! It is good to know I'm not the only one to feel that way.
