autumn arrives ... see how they prepare our titles and covers for the new season ...
The first prize for the worst cover and title falls this time in a collection, series of erotic books published by Penguin Books under the title of Sexybooks . It is erotic (a genre that I like, incidentally) and the title and cover of each of the books no mistake: I know what I'm buying, but nevertheless I think this time they have gone explicit ... These covers look like, first, lingerie ads (which as we all know, always seem more geared to the male to the female, which ultimately is the one who has to wear) and, second, the title is more reminiscent a business slogan own a contact page or the title of a porno movie (although these tend to be more clever ...). In short, I do not know as literary, but as presented by the editorial, I only generate rejection and I do not help at all for the consideration of the romantic and erotic in this case, as a literary genre.
Here are some pearls ...

Would you buy these books?
The second and third places at the worst month will cover the irresistible temptation to in Titania , insurance cover that is recycled from another book, for a change (how many times have we seen the lady with her dress undone and bare back ...) and surrender in Delicious Phoebe, other cover that causes a sense of deja vu ... Curiously the level of abstraction of these covers, I mean: I do not even bother to put an architectural background to the figures, simply place them on a monochrome background and ready ... The figures almost seem cutouts ...
The best covers , on the other side:
I really like the color scheme What Alice forgot and The book has a cover scandal that perhaps it may seem soda but is discreet and explicit on the historical time in which environmental history without resorting to the typical family ... The only flaw I see is in relation to the letters, both its size and its location on the cover. As Karen Rose, I think DeBolsillo has generally provided good cover for their books: always different but maintaining unity in style.
deserve special mention Swan covers, with his usual headless maidens, and the twilight covers the month , Damon and Destination Caught in Takatrá, among others.
As the worst titles, first place has already been given to the library Sexybooks , the worst by far. My beloved Lord Jillian Hunter and irresistible temptation respectively get second and third positions. My Lord Dangerous and vicious Marquis share honors. I had to watch the original English title of Marquis My evil, because I could not believe that that was the title placed by the author (it was ...). We continue to regency books in their title are, inevitably, a title followed or preceded by an adjective ...
Top Titles: East Luna Nieves Hidalgo, Sweet Madness Anna Casanovas and burning magic Ilona Andrews.
