Awesome Books! :)

A note to book-cover publishers: before you decide on a cover, go into a bookstore and head to the respective section. See the trend of tints and shades that color that genre. then pick a different color! It is astonishing that, even in this day and age, history books about China and Russia are still primarily red, books about Ireland are green, and "women's books"(i.e. Chick Lit and Self Help) are pastel pink, blue or yellow. Honestly, even murder mystery books, when targeted towards female readers, take on pink as opposed to the red and/or black of other mysteries.
