I have to agree with you, there. It really winds me up if the cover is tacky. Ever since I took up reading romance/erotica, I've started noticing this more and more. The authors seem to like recycling the same,tired cover models who don't always match the characters they're writing about?! It looks to me like it's stock library pictures, which irritates me even more and puts me off reading the book.

I agree with you...I really despise revamped movie covers.sahara900 wrote:If a book doesn't have a good blurb, that grips me and makes me want to open the book right there and start reading, then I am not interested. I also really hate books that are re-released with covers featuring pictures of the actors from the new motion picture of the book.
