...I don't know what I was expecting but it was not that. I can't even fault you for it. I wouldn't buy that either.

YES like realistically, I know that does not make or break the book but that instantly puts me off and I can't even put a finger on why.

Absolutely. Signalling the genre with the cover style is no joke.

Lol at least I can say even the temp covers I've made for friends while they write were never that bad.

That makes sense! Even good authors have flop covers sometimes so if you already know the insides do NOT match the outsides, it's easier to forgive the bad cover.

My friend paid extra for a special edition of something and I'm pretty sure the only difference was a prettier cover and gold edging on the pages. Looks totally make a difference.
And another book I haven't heard of! I'll definitely check it out.

I totally hear that. I feel bad for authors who don't get to pick their cover because their publishers do it. Ah well.

What are your favourite tricks you've learned to implement your revision process, if any? I'm always curious to hear what creative things writers do to help them along.
