Small Rant

I recently glanced through some books a website recommended for christian women. I was very disapointed by the covers of these books. With little variation they all stuck to the same theme, scripty fonts, pastel colors, and at least one flower somewhere and/or an object in a fuzzy glow, usually a bouquet of flowers, like these:


















This seems as pre-meditated as the Harlequin romance books. I feel let down by this. Am I really a flowery fruity softie? Sure I like flowers, but I also like skulls and farts(well, i dont search out farts, but if they happen i am ok with it). The one book cover on this list that attracted my attention is this:

I dont know if I am interested in the subject matter, but I feel like I am being treated like a reasonable adult in this cover. This cover suggests that the woman who reads it might have a bit of intelligence. This book, however, isnt written just for women, its a biography of a woman. So I dont know if I can really count it. But it does represent what I wish was being done more in women's publishing.
