Subject: I'm not real fussy with covers, although I don't like the super bodice-ripper ones. That suggest to me a certain type of novel, which is fine if it's actually that type, but people not looking for something like that might get turned off from a good read. (Does that make any sense??) Inside for the rest...

I don't care for cartoonish covers, because I don't usually read books of that type--I prefer more serious ones, even if they're light reading romances (which I read tons of). Any of the others would be fine, as long as they somewhat suggest what the book is about. That is, if a book is set in a city, why put a country porch? On the other hand, if it is a country or small-town setting, the porch would be fine. I actually go more by the title and the blurb, unless I'm already familiar with the author. Right now, I like a particular kind of book, and if the blurb suggests that the book is that type, then I'm attracted to it.
