Theme: Take a Sniff Under the Arm
We’re in a somewhat goofy frame of mind. It’s time to get ridiculous with our latest installment of humorous Covers of the Week.
Romance novel covers are often beautiful sites to behold. Before the advent of Amazon and e-books, they helped catch the eye of the potential reader in bookstores. Usually, these were artfully done–or at least fascinating to look at.
Sometimes, they’re inadvertently amusing or even downright ludicrous.
We think these covers are artistically pleasing. There’s just something about how the ladies raise their arms that strikes us as funny. It’s as if the heroines are sniffing their underarms or letting the hero have a whiff.
Are they trying to determine if their armpits smell? It’s silly and illogical, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it!

We’re laughing at humorous covers where it looks like somebody is checking if it stinks under the arms!
