Back when I purchased most of my books from a bookstore a good book cover could sometimes be the key to me taking a chance on a new paperback. Now with the ebook I see them but I kind of don't.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen any lovely ones and they do not need to be UF/PNR jus fabulous.

Wow. Yeah, I can't really say that I agree with them that much either.

Taste in covers and books in general is just such a subjective thing and you can't please everyone. ☺
