Hope I Don't Scare People Away

The Three Word Wednesday challenge is to use these words in a post:

Brutal; adjective: Savagely violent; punishingly hard or uncomfortable; direct and lacking any attempt to disguise unpleasantness.

Grope; verb: [No object] feel about or search blindly or uncertainly with the hands; [with object] (informal) feel or fondle (someone) for sexual pleasure, esp. against their will; noun: An act of fondling someone for sexual pleasure.

Transfer; verb: Move from one place to another; move to another group, occupation, or service; change to another place, route, or means of transportation during a journey; make over the possession of (property, a right, or a responsibility) to someone else; noun: An act of moving something or someone to another place. 

"My blog is too plain," I thought with dismay. "I really must do something about it."

 I found a few sites offering free designs, but they all seemed frilly to me. Just not my style.

 A protracted Google grope later, and after some photo editing, I had a header I liked alright and a background that kind of matched.

 Only after I made the transfer of these graphics onto my blog did I realize that they made it look...

 Brutal.
Care to see whether you agree?

    You will get it more to your liking, just give yourself some time. Perhaps a softer-looking font?

    It is not the books front cover it is words within. Some books have appalling, inappropriate covers with excellent tales. We come for the words hopefully in a legible typeface!
