The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome*! This week we decided to stick to our color theme. And with what? Well the best color ever! RED! (⇐ Susi and Caro for once agree on something). It shouldn’t be a surprise that many covers in the romance genre use this color. Well it stands for passion and love (and some other things we will just ignore right now). So it was actually easy to find some covers we adore. So here is our selection. Be sure to tell us what you think.

*(I don’t know for other European countries, but France is plagued by a new ad for a train. Sadly it’s an earworm.)

Caro’s choice:

Caro: I first fell for the cover or Ravishing in Red then I fell for the …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to our new edition of The Good The Bad and the Are-you-Kidding-me? You must be wondering how we decide on which topic to make each of our post about…okay maybe you’re not wondering…it’s a real mystery to us too! Let’s take today for example…I’m not sure how we ended up deciding we should talk about Yellow Historical covers! It’s a miracle but hopefully entertaining enough. *wink*
On a side note I should mention Yellow is a favorite color of mine *g*

Susi: The first thing I always notice on historical romance covers is the swirly font. They usually all look the same and that really annoys me. I like the contrast of the yellow dress and the blue background on the Bond …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome back! This week we’ve decided to try and take a look at Italian covers. We thought the covers would reflect Italy’s beauty but we were sadly a bit disappointed. Instead of eternal beauty and timelessness we found clichés and well…you will see for yourself. Be sure to let us know what you think about our selections.

Caro: O_O Well first I don’t find the cut out faces to be very attractive in the first place but if you add the weird “hey my make-up is running” part it’s just plain weird.

I like the Nalini cover. The wings are for once original. It’s simple but good. (also i have a secret thing for curly-longish hair on a man) <==that’s a man right? …
