Fun with Book Covers
by SB Sarah | February 22, 2009 | Sunday at 12:12 pm | 12 CommentsIf you look glance quickly at each of the book covers, it looks like the couple is line dancing. Whee!
Dance couple, dance!
One question: I well understand the shortage of good photography, but wouldn’t it make sense to spread out the release dates so the bookstore folks don’t go, “Huh, didn’t I just see this cover?!”
Thanks to B. for the heads up.

And why is the “Someone” in the first cover all cracked looking? Is it a horror?

Wow. Must have been a busy photo shoot that day.

Awesome! That made for a highly entertaining minute of scrolling up and down.

I worry about the poor woman’s legs. They must be getting scratched all to heck in that tall grass with that short skirt on LOL.

Looking at the bright side, at least it’s not multiple uses of the exact same photo like that headless running woman that was on about 100 covers last years.

That font on ‘Someone’ speaks to me. It says ‘zombie football’.

I was thinking that Someone font was very Army-ad, but Wayward is right—it says Zombie Football. I think someone needs to write this.

I hope they washed the guy’s shirt between photos :->

The non-clinch cover. It reminds me of when I was in Jr. High and the teachers would walk the hall with a yard stick to make sure sure that students of the opposite sex were no closer than 18 inches.

They are a cute couple. And notice in the second cover, they are SMILING! Without a kid in sight. It seems to me that the only time I see smiling faces on romance novels (when you get a face at all) is in the category lines with children involved.

What with the new Jane Austen vs. Zombies book coming out (or is it out already?), zombies must be the new hot thing this year.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of some zombie football!

I know that top one is supposed to be “Christian fiction,” but still, what’s with her frumpy outfit?
