Maybe unpopular, but I kind of miss when book covers had a point of view instead of looking like they were A/B tested by an online retailer. That old Vintage Contemporaries look had attitude. You could spot it across a room and immediately place the vibe, even before you knew if the novel was for you. A lot of current covers are polished to death, all safe type and muted blobs, like they don't want to scare off anyone in the algorithm. I get why publishers do it, books are expensive to launch and nobody wants a miss. Still, a cover should flirt a little. It should risk being dated. Better that than another prestige-novel beige rectangle that says nothing and disappears the second you put it down.
