Stepping out of my Comfort Zone the prejudices that hold me back
In the past I often discovered that stepping out of my reading comfort zone can change your reading habits in a big way.
I started reading mostly science fiction and fantasy without any touch of romance, and yes reading my first romance made me blush like crazy and I thought I would never like that “kitsch”.
And here I am now Romance addict and fighting for it to be accepted by others. But no, my prejudices didn’t stop there.
I always loved to read Paranormal Romance or SciFi Romance (when I found one) but Contemporaries for me always were those housewife stories with the appealing names like “Virgin on her Wedding Night” or even better “The Playboy Sheikh’s Virgin Stable Girl”. Seriously? I swore to never read those and I was 100% sure that the rest of this genre couldn’t be any better. I …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Happy New everyone! The new year 2011 just started so we thought it would be great to look back at 2010 and the covers it gave us. Being the shallow cover whores we are we had a huge stack to chose from and it was not easy. As always there are the Good and the Bad but this time we tried to keep our explanations short because most of those covers already made it in our posts over the year. Let us know which are your tops ad flops..

We are really happy to welcome author Lisa Hendrix here at Book Lovers Inc today.

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
This week we have a special topic to talk about. Covers that are just plain wrong, literally. We decided to make this post after seeing a tweet from Nicole Peeler about her new German cover. She pointed out the wrongness of it and we couldn’t resist. We noticed this in the past and thought we will show you our top 3 of just stupidly wrong covers.
Susi: Okay this cover is wrong in so many ways. I don’t know why German publishers does this so often but it’s rather common here to show something totally wrong and deceiving on the cover. So here we have a book about Selkies showing a mermaid. O_O And not even pretty one for that. I don’t really like blueish covers and this …
