From pretty to lickable...if it grabs my attention, the blurb and excerpt comes next. I've brought books on covers alone. And from book trailers. But I've seen some shockers that scream 'badly produced' book with out-of-proportion characters (where they've been stretched to fit the cover, or worse, widened) spelling mistakes and unreadable text. Worse still are the full on naked shots that are popping up all over the ebook stores at the moment. That's crass and turns me off.<br />Love cover reveals!!!JoAnne Kenrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15234275353277804224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-66391454038545677172012-02-19T08:58:16.121-05:002012-02-19T08:58:16.121-05:00Covers grab me first too, then blurbs.

I couldn't finish the story, because my mind kept going back to the cover, which was a historical. I can't begin to imagine how upset the author was over it. It is one of the things that e-authors seemed to get more input in, than print authors from the big houses. One of many reasons I love e-publication.D L Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005096541408308851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-8944353525234449522012-02-18T11:53:27.586-05:002012-02-18T11:53:27.586-05:00I agree these are great covers.

If I'm not sure whether I want it or not, I do open to the middle of the book and read both pages. Same as you, if it engages me then I'll buy it.<br /><br />(And for the record, I too believe Decadent does AWESOME covers! Of course, I'm not biased or anything...)Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671871950908006851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-20336366048166273202012-02-18T11:41:32.832-05:002012-02-18T11:41:32.832-05:00Those are some great covers!

From the comic books I used to pick up at the corner liquor store, to the romance novels at the grocery store to any bookstore, new or used, I can find...and online! If the book catches my eye I will read the blurb...and yes, I love the covers we get at Decadent!Kate Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11266895320753860578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2015064410387223894.post-4278449257565962562012-02-18T08:52:09.245-05:002012-02-18T08:52:09.245-05:00LOVE all the covers on here, and your banner!

I've had some great cover artists and cannot complain about any of mine, but I have seen some which prevent me from reading any further.<br /><br />Can't wait to see yours! I'm waiting for three right now. :)Jessica E. Subjecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14356934162311768234noreply@blogger.com
