Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list  that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week's topic is: Ten Book Cover Trends I Like/Dislike

*in no particular order

Likes:

 1. Moons/Woods--are you surprised this is my example? For some reason these nighttime, woodsy covers with moons really get to me! Or maybe it was just this series' covers! I loved them soooo much!

2. Cartoony Covers--sometimes they can be hit or miss, but for the most part I love them! Especially on these paranormal cozy mysteries! They just look so appealing!

3. Kickass Heroine--and what better cover than a Kim Harrison one?! She was my first KA Heroine! And I really liked how For a Few Demons More turned out--COVER WISE!!!

4. Fire--yup, gotta love a cover with flames! Vlad's pretty nice next to them too!

5. Weapon Wielding Peeps--whether it's a heroine or hero, when they have their weapon of choice out, looking badass, it's pretty appealing! This is different from my kickass heroine one because that one doesn't require weapons and this one is specific to the hero/heroine's weapon of choice being pictured with them!

Dislikes:

6. Ravish Me Covers--yeah, not too much of a fan of the covers where the couple is all grabby-grab and half naked. Still totally LOVED reading this book though! Although it did require a hide-a-cover since I read it at my pt job and school and I did not need other people seeing this cover and getting the wrong idea!

7. Blah?--how to describe this one, I really liked the original hardcover of The Immortal Rules then this one came out and it was just so plain. There wasn't much to see other than these veins. It just lacks pizazz! Still an AWESOME read though!

8. Cartoony Gone Wrong--now I like a good cartoony cover, but sometimes they don't look so right. When the H&W Investigations series started, the covers were cartoony but the heroine just looked wrong. Her face looked kind of warped or something. Still a FAB series!

9. Nakedness for Naked Sake--now I have no problem with a shirtless guy on a cover, if there's something else going on! Like with Vlad up there, there's flames, he's turned to the side, there's a bat! There's just MORE to it! This guy, is just front and center, here's my chest. It's just boring. But again still a GREAT read!!!

10. Too Small Pictures--I joined the Fever scene late in the game, so I have the re-released mass market paperbacks. Mac is just so tiny. You don't really get a feel for the story in some ways. I don't know, I just wish the scene was bigger! But again, this is another INCREDIBLE series! Still need to read Iced too!
