Type of covers that doesn’t inspire me to read the book.. although I do want to

Good morning!

Now I say I never buy a book based on a pretty cover only.. however- a boring cover DO make me not wanna pick it up 😅 It just keeps getting shovelled down my list where i’d pick other ones up because the cover don’t really inspire me much. I’d do the same about synopsises actually, those that really don’t do the book justice but that’s a story for another day.

When I first wrote this, I had actual exemples with book titles and everything – but I scraped that up because I felt a bit guilty .. so I made it in general with my thoughts on said covers as of why it didn’t appealed me.

• Covers too plain. 
  One solid color with the title is a no-go for me. Or another book had the cover split in two solid colors with animal shapes on each side.. *slight exception for psychological non-fictions

• Title looking like word art 
  Different typography can be cool .. but it also can be just- too much and wierd.

• Picturing objects not seemingly related to the story
  Ofcourse this is relative.. it might’ve been in relation to it in the end; but how would I know if I haven’t read it. 😆 I find this more in murder mystery type books where everyone is in a house and suddently someone get killed you know the style? I’d rather a cover with the “family” of everyone in a row on the cover than a random knife with pearls.

What type of covers doesn’t attract you to read the book?
