I also love scenery and old building type of pictures, if they have something unique about them, such as a fun door on an old building, or the ocean crashing against a cliff where a house is right on the edge.<br /><br />You all are great, I'll try to check back again before the week is over :)Rhonda Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381590968914554470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-87421664647704734312012-03-22T06:37:53.643-07:002012-03-22T06:37:53.643-07:00Great cover Rhonda.

Not only was it vivid but it actually depicted a scene from the book.

It really sets the tone for the story. I'd much rather explore a house with an interesting door, than a house that looks like every other house on the block.<br /><br />Funnily enough, the covers I dislike most are the ones where the hero and heroine have the wrong hair color. Really. I hate having to remind myself the hero/heroine doesn't look like that. Or if the cover has nothing to do with the story. There's always the feeling of having to "re-set" when I open it.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-40285381682080339302012-03-21T07:42:05.430-07:002012-03-21T07:42:05.430-07:00Beautiful cover Rhonda - I agree, the folks at Lov...Beautiful cover Rhonda - I agree, the folks at Love Inspired do a fabulous job designing them. <br /><br />A cover is the first thing that attracts me to a book when I'm browsing - I personally like people on the cover, and preferably something that gives a hint of personalityWinnie Griggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02295070748234710260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-29070962982866111612012-03-21T06:46:33.773-07:002012-03-21T06:46:33.773-07:00Hmmm, I need to go look at the last hundred books ...Hmmm, I need to go look at the last hundred books I've purchased.

While I love some of Christian fiction coming out of Australia we some books the cover isn't as good as the LI ones and sometimes they have put me of wanting to read or buy a book. <br />After winning one a few years ago I would never have bought due to the cover and reading it and finding what a great book it was I tend to check the blurb on the back before making a final deception.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.com
