A good cover can just reel me in.Shari Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425493627354028820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-89165101410628093062017-05-08T16:20:45.968-04:002017-05-08T16:20:45.968-04:00Interesting interview, Shari.

I remember looking at a huge table of books and being immediately drawn to Tigers in Red Weather solely because of the cover art. And I did buy it - cover art counts.<br />Carolyn Kitrinosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-32126368607119732392017-05-08T13:54:47.116-04:002017-05-08T13:54:47.116-04:00I do judge books by their cover.

But if I'm scanning books I don't know about, I'll be much more likely to pick up a book with a cover that appeals to me. Usually, that's a moody cover. (Not sure how to describe that exactly.) Dark or atmospheric. Not that I read dark books, but I like an intriguing cover.<br /><br />Anyway, nice interview, Shari!Barb Goffmanhttp://www.barbgoffman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-88469161991848884682017-05-08T11:41:22.438-04:002017-05-08T11:41:22.438-04:00Interesting interview.

Subtle appears to have mostly gone by the wayside. Perhaps that will change with hand-designed covers?<br /><br />~ JimJim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
