Covers Again

A couple more links for you related to cover art:

• Jim C. Hines is at it again.  Here is his take on men in romance novel covers.  (Or check out his women in fantasy novel covers post, which I talk about here.)
• Here is a piece from Tor.com about a trope in cover art featuring female characters.

Since I don't read the sort of books that get cover art like Emily Asher-Perrin is talking about in the Tor.com piece, I guess I never noticed it.  The books I tend to read, have lately suffered from too much of the guy-in-a-hooded-cloak-with-bladed-weapons thing.
