Bad Cover






Seriously. If you can look at this and NOT make Hulk sex jokes, you are a better woman than I. Love her. HATE the cover.

Good Cover!


Did anyone watch the show Vega$ back in the late 70s and early 80s? This cover is kind of a throwback to that. At least, that is what it looks like to me. And how about that? E. Duke Vincent worked on that show.

Good Cover!


I love this cover. The drawing is fantastic, the colors are wonderful, and it looks like fun!

Bad Cover


WTF?

Bad Cover

Although bad may not be a strong enough term!





The roses and the violin couldn't be any more tragically ordinary. The mix of fonts on the cover couldn't be any more tragically schizophrenic.



But the worst part of this cover? Those. Ears.



WHAT?! Besides the fact that the face looks to be completely drugged out, those ears are ridiculous.



I would say that you could do better, Cerridwen, but I'm not sure it's the truth. Bad. Touch.

Bad Cover



Wow. If this book isn't about a ghost in your wallpaper, or your sidewalk, I can't see how this book cover is even close.


There is nothing, nothing, here that makes me want to pick this up.

And OF COURSE we judge books by their covers. Don't be ridic.

Good Cover!

For any number of reasons!

Bad Cover



This one could be about anything. Strangely enough, it is about a woman who owns a male strip club.


Women who own their own strip clubs deserve better window dressing for their novels.

Good Cover!


I'm not familiar with Canavan's Black Magician trilogy, but this is, apparently, a prequel.
This cover makes me want to get familiar with it. It strikes just the right mood between creepy and fascinating.......if you're a fan of the fantasy genre.
If you're not a fan, you're probably wondering what the ^$%#%@ I'm going on about. Nevermind, you.

Good Cover?


You know, the cover is beautiful and relaxing. It makes you think of vacationing in a little seaside town.......and then you notice the title. But, honestly, the cover is so beautiful you don't even realize the title right away.


But, WTF? The title is like one of those salty waves... slapping you in the face.

Good Cover


It made me laugh. It didn't make me want to read the book, but it did make me laugh.

Good Cover!


This made me laugh. The blurb makes it sound kind of bland. "a lovable and absorbing romp about parenting, marriage, and the battle of the sexes."
Yeah, yeah, yeah. All that said to me was that it probably won't live up to the cover. Too bad.

Bad Cover


I know she's supposed to be feeling tranquil, or whatever. Cloud 9? But, to me, she looks creepy. I was going to say slightly creepy, but the more I look at it, the creepier she gets!
Maybe THAT is my moment of clarity.

Good Cover/Bad Cover

Are there ever going to be any good covers?







A pair from the porn plot vault.











Magically Delicious?! Come on. You're not even TRYING anymore!

Something tells me.....


that the real subtitle of this book should have been "Somebody's about to get an a** whoopin.


But, of course, they don't let me name the books.

Good Cover/Bad Cover



It isn't the cover, but the title. I'm sorry, but if you're old enough to read this book, you're old enough to think C+C Music Factory and that just ruins the whole thing.






Of course, if you go back to Keith Sweat........















What would I do to be irresistible? Apparently, turn my skin purple. Amethyst as Aphrodisiac? Perhaps.
