message 2: by Elara (new)

Elara Despite my usual preference for people-free covers, the 'Ruthless People' duo is undeniably a standout exception

Rebecca (r1versong) | 67 comments If it's cutesy drawings, it's fine. But the photos or AI art to make it look like a real person, ewww

mariya (mariya_aa) | 48 comments ME TOO OMG! it’s such an ick of mine idky, esp when they’re thirst trapping 😭🙏🏽, like ain’t no way i’m picking up a book with a shirtless guy on it im sorry no offence
idm drawings but it sm times ruins my perception of the characters 😞 (icebreaker and love hypothesis)
i need a captivating cover, and a good title more than anytbjng lol


Michelle (pnwbooklover) | 154 comments I prefer the discreet covers, especially for my bookshelf and on my kindle. My husband and I share a KU acc and he gets all the emails and recommendations with all the shirtless guys. I don't mine the cartoon covers.

Brianna (brithebookbabe) | 137 comments I like when they are cartoonish people. I don't like when ACTUAL people are on the cover.

bella | 101 comments I read the book long shot by kennedy Ryan but the version I got didn’t have anybody on the cover so when I saw another cover of it with an actual guy SHIRTLESS on it I was like oh. he looked nothing like how I imagined he would and it was kinda cringey

v3lvetpages (cvnt1sh) | 124 comments Same i hate cartoon characters anddd the shirtless men i like when the cover has some actual good art like roses or sum


message 15: by Chasie 🦋 (new)

Chasie 🦋 | 232 comments same, kinda. i’m not the biggest fan of cartoon covers and i hate the shirtless men on the cover of spicy books, but fantasy usually has really awesome covers that include people (i know its mainly just realistic artwork but i count it). like the OG Ember in The Ashes covers by Sabaa Tahir - those are PERFECT 👌🏼

but the original covers for the four horseman series and the twisted series… 🤢

Kindle Jenner | 328 comments I also don’t love real people on covers. I will not buy a physical copy of a book if it has some shirtless man on it. I can’t put that on my book shelf.

Cassandra 🍁☕️📚 (blondie2611) | 254 comments I actually hate the cartoon covers. I prefer real people on my book covers, which I see is an unpopular opinion.
