The second one is definitely the best (although I really like the third one too), but I think that you should use another font. There's something about this one that doesn't look "professional", and I think a better font choice would make it look better/more like someone did it professionally.

I do agree with you, in that I don't like the normal cover choices for your genre. I enjoy simple covers in general, honestly, and I really like your cover ideas.

Thank you for the advice. I'll admit, I'm not very good at picking fonts. I like the fancy, scripty ones, but they're so hard to read most of them time. This one is actually two fonts, a script for the capital letters and something plainer for the rest.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! ^_^

I like the third one, but the middle one has the best flow, in my opinion. I would pick it up in a store and flip it over to see what it was about.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I appreciate the feedback! ^_^

I like the 2nd one the best, maybe it's just the simplicity of it. The 1st one seems too busy and the last one wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the weird yellow/orange hue with the green in the bulb. The blue garland with the white background goes well with the pink lettering, but the colors of the ball just don't seem to work right.

Personally I think your font choices are fine, at least for this story since it's a Christmas tale. The script font capital letters is a classic old school holiday thing. Although you might be able to pull off one of the script letter block print images instead of using a font letter. Just a thought.

Thank you for the feedback, it was very helpful! ^_^
Yes, that orangey color doesn't really fit, does it? The block letter images is a good idea, but sadly, I wasn't able to find any royalty-free images of them. Maybe once I'm rich and famous, I'll pay an actual artist to make my covers and suggest they do that ^_^

I really like the third one. It's visually interesting and the colours are quite unexpected for this kind of cover and yet very fairy like. It makes an impression but still look sober enough to be pleasing to the eye.
