Meljean Brook is guest blogging over at
The Book Binge and she brings up the question of whether or not a book’s cover influences your decision when buying a book. For me, if I like a book cover, it will definitely draw me to the book and I will be more likely to purchase it. This is usually the case if I haven't ever heard of the author before. I purchased the book
Release by Jo Leigh only because of the cover. Is this shallow? I suppose from a marketing view point, it means the ad campaign is working.

Smart Bitches they regularly post book covers that are really bad and then they make fun of them. Now while I do find this hilarious, I thought I would change it up. Instead of posting covers that are really bad, I will post covers I think are sexy! Here are a few covers that I like.
I think these covers are sexy without being "in your face" sexy. What do you think? What covers do you really like?

I like all of these, too.
I wish more people would post covers they really like -- I find it absolutely fascinating. Bad covers are almost like shooting fish in a barrel (fun, I'll admit -- but too easy.) But explaining why you like a cover and how it works? A winner for me.
Meljean!!!! Oh my gosh, an author visiting my little ol' blog. "We're not worthy, We're not worthy!"
As far as covers go, I like seeing part of the man. A little peak, if you will, of his body, but not all of it. LOL. I can use my imagination!
I seem to like him paired up with a woman. Then he has something to focus on, rather than just staring into the camera with a come hither look on his face.
Broken and Tempted, both by Megan Hart, are two of my favorite covers. I love men's hands, especially when they're on a woman's body.
Hey Emjay,
LOL, my husband noticed the cover of Tempted in the book store the other day and asked me if I was going to get that book.
I too think men's hands are sexy too. I like it when they are touching the woman's face.
