Have you ever thought that covers of romance novels are a bit silly? Well, this site improves them a lot by matching pictures and names.

Make sure you click all the links!

(Of course, silly covers are not the only problem with romance novels, but that’s a story for a different site.)

    This is a little off-topic, but anyway… this post reminds me of an article I read in Style magazine a few years back about the sadomasochistic relationships commonly found in romance novels. It’s online at http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2342/is_n3_v29/ai_18096761 if you’re interested.

    Juju and Graeme – glad you’ve enjoyed it :)

    Robert – thanks for the article! It’s quite interesting, even though I don’t really read romance… Maybe I would if it had more spanking in it, like it used to in the 70s…

    Very nice! My grandmother got me started reading trashy romances ages ago — though I really prefer mysteries and classics, but whatever — and I’ve always cracked up at the covers. This site definitely makes an improvement on them.
