Speaking generically....

I've been thinking more about our discussion in class about how genres follow the same format. I'm sure I mentioned this in a blog post the first week of class, but I kept thinking about it in terms of how something becomes a trend, and then becomes dated.

I took a quick look on Amazon for reglious theme books, and then further narrowing it down, stuck to releases from the last 90 days. In the first 2 pages alone, I found these...Yes, clouds. Like I said, these were just on the first 2 pages of books from the last 90 days. Clouds certainly are a look now.

What other trends have you seen in a given genre in a certain time? Anything jump out to you?
