I'm heading back home after a weekend in New Orleans to stand in my sister's wedding, so today's post will be a quick question inspired by Sarah Skilton's post on this topic. Most people admit that a great cover can suck them in to buy a book, but what kind of cover do you prefer?
Do you want a full face to put with a name, like this:
Or do you prefer the body part method and leave the rest to the imagination? Like this...
Or a combo, some characters seen, some not.
Or the romance standby and a personal favorite of mine, the yummy male torso...
Or something more abstract...
What catches your eye to most? And do certain kinds of covers make you NOT want to buy a book? Which type of cover do you prefer? What do you picture for your own book?
