We’re chatting about covers on Chapter Break. ‘Cause you know we all judge books by covers, whether we admit it or not. We judge the style, the color and font choices, and just the overall look. That might not keep us from reading the book, but we do still judge.
The title and cover are a very generic/typical Christmas feel-good type. People eat these up, many people, but not so much me. Yes, a cookie pun for you.
The cover is pretty but not unique. I like the decorated house, that’s the best part of the crazy holiday – I love decorations.
I love the font. Me and script fancy fonts, right? Easy to read and well-sized. I like that Christmas is yellow to stand out, but highlighting that word specifically is very generic to the holiday movie/book/feel-good genre.
Also, love the snowglobe effect of the sky and house. I do not love the bold red border; it kind of tries to frame but takes away from the cover, I think. But maybe adds to the feeling of the snowglobe effect.
Also, but why not a single cookie on the cover? Me want cookies!
Overall a lovely cover, but the generic look and feel and topic would make me give it a pass.
The cover and the synopsis are quintessential Hallmark Christmas. Which is definitely my scene! And I certainly prefer my snow in photos rather than having to deal with it IRL!
I like the fuzzy\blurred effect with the snow – makes it feel like I’m right there in the snow. The only part of Christmas decorations I get into is the lights. This house has those in spades and is on theme with the single color\white lights.
I like the curly font on the title. It’s still easy enough to read. And the author’s name fits in well at the bottom of the cover.
Overall, I’d call this cover a success – conveys the sweet holiday romance feel!
What are your thoughts on this cover?
