I know we are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but it seems everyone does. People have strong feelings about what makes for a good or less good cover. I think it would be cool if we had a "cover exchange" or other place for people to post covers and potential covers, to get feedback. I think this would be very valuable to authors. I just don't know if we can create this somehow in this group, or on Goodreads in general. The Librarians were not helpful on this.
One way would be to have a place where people upload a proposed or actual front cover image, and let people vote and/or provide comments on it. It could also have some discussion on covers, such as whether covers for certain genres should have a certain style, etc.
Maybe this requires a new group, like "All about covers" ?

Thoughts welcome.
