I actually enjoy some of the hunky male covers, but Vonnie, I agree with you that they've become so ubiquitous they've lost their punch.Alison Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12725250883303287946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-20166286014038898442012-05-05T11:12:14.561-04:002012-05-05T11:12:14.561-04:00Live off my ereader.

Used to be (when you had a print book in your hands) they'd ask, "Oh, what are you reading?" With an e-reader clutched in your fist, they say, "Oh, you have one of those e-readers. Do you like it?" Of course I live in the boonies, so maybe the reaction in a city is more sophisticated. LOL Still, the focus goes away from the book to the reading device.<br /><br />As for covers, I've had scenic ones up until my latest. I didn't ask for a hunky guy, but I got one anyway. Most people say they love the cover. I'm waiting anxiously to see if that hunky guy sells more books! If he does, I may have to reconsider future book covers! LOL<br /><br />Sorry to write a novel, but great post, Alison.Jannine Gallanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692098634695675967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-80076988527539465662012-05-05T09:01:49.974-04:002012-05-05T09:01:49.974-04:00I, too, love my eReader.

I was never ashamed to flash the covers to books I read. I suppose I was always "into" the enjoyment of the story too much. But I will say one of the first things I list on my bookcover information sheet for TWRP is "no naked men." I mean, it's so overdone, it's comical. Walk through the romance section of any bookstore and look at all the buff, air-brushed naked male torsos (or is it torsoes?). I prefer something more distinctive, something that portrays the stroy inside. I love your bookscovers, by the way. Simply beautiful.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.com
