Like for faces I like the Iron Fey series or the Delirium series is cool and pretty but I also like landscapes, especially if it's a romance novel as some of those covers are not-so-nice (as per last week's question).<br /><br />Q2. Baths!! But only when I am on holiday and the hotel has a nice big one. Otherwise just showers for daily use.Life's Simple Pleasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13356934474620583688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-88396416097953839362013-05-30T09:15:47.569-05:002013-05-30T09:15:47.569-05:001.

I think if part of their face isn't showing that is best so the reader can fill in the rest with imagination. <br />I prefer baths BUT I can't take them in my apartment bc the tubs too small!

My biggest pet peeve with covers is when someone changes them halfway through a series. It bugs the daylights out of me... <br /><br />Q2. I love showers. I do enjoy a hot bath now and then but not very often. Usually only in a Jacuzzi tub is about the only time i really enjoy a bath.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881378284428260752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-45601951549135555352013-05-27T08:29:13.848-05:002013-05-27T08:29:13.848-05:001.

There are somany models in ads, on tv, in magazines, etc that I prefer seeing more abstract or nature-like covers on books. It shows that they can be more creative! <br /><br />2. I like showers more than baths. I do like a good bath once and a while, when the water is actually hot. I am a little OCD so I need to have the tub absolutely clean if I am going to take a bath, so I usually just stick with a shower haha. That way I don't have to clean the tub before getting in it!Lacey Galiciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584713076831806695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-78996629981741507152013-05-26T20:03:21.894-05:002013-05-26T20:03:21.894-05:001.

I do like covers that stand out & I adore all the luscious gowns worn on historical romance covers.<br /><br />2. Has to be a shower all the way. Growing up we only had tank water, so during times of drought a bath was about an inch of water. You also had to scoop the wrigglers out before you got in. Wrigglers are mosquito larva.

So what if the heroine is short and the hero is only muscled on one side? While I do like images of the characters over random graphics, I do expect some level of accuracy. My fave covers are those that have lots & lots going on and you can refer to throughout the story. <br /><br />Definitely a shower person. I am there to wash, not soak. I got stuff to do and relaxing in bed with a book is more to my liking. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-86989496857745241132013-05-26T09:53:44.096-05:002013-05-26T09:53:44.096-05:00I like to see models/the characters of the story. ...I like to see models/the characters of the story.

Mary P asks: Do you prefer models on the covers or abstract graphics? - Do you want to see the models faces or not?<br /><br /> I dont actually. :/ but if the book has great reviews and high ratings then the cover will be disregarded.
