    Question Which book cover should I use for my cross genre book: Women's Fiction; Romance (Heat level 3); Historical Fiction (1999)?

    Great job on both! I personally like the first one with the green lettering. I have to admit that I am drawn to the color blue. I also feel like the title is more clear in the sky. I found it blended in with the snow on the second one cover. I hope this helps!
