I know that I spend a lot of time blaming our authors for their books' bad cover art, even though it's not always their fault--maybe they've been forced into it, or maybe they're just cursed with bad taste. But really, who can blame me? There are some really seriously bad covers out there, and they're hurting good books! If it's too embarrassing for a reader to walk up to the counter and admit that they are purchasing a book with half-naked Fabio wanna-be on the cover, then you're not doing your book any favors, authors! (Take note, Ms. James, Ms. Krentz, and Ms. Hamilton--I am pointing my finger at you, ladies.)

So I thought I would give you guys some examples of cover art that I really like and think would jump out at you at the bookstore. Are they not awesome? Enjoy!
