    I agree with many of these, particularly the dislike for bad photoshop and white hetero couples making out (thinking of Nicholas Sparks covers). I adore covers which display a symbol of their romance instead the act of it.

  2. Broc's Bookcase

    Some great choices. I love the Cruel Beauty cover and any cover that is purple! I agree with you about the body parts one, it’s really creepy! That photoshop one is awful! I haven’t seen any like that before, thank god because it really is bad!!!

  3. Clodie

    Yes, I love cool fonts and pretty dresses. But I hate seeing white hetero couples making out on book covers (actually I’m sick of even reading about white hetero couples) and bad photoshop jobs. I don’t like metaphors on covers though, as I feel they make it cheesy.
