The Good The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Today we have some highly anticipated novels and their covers in tow. After religiously stalking author websites, we were so excited about some of them that we just had to bring them up to your attention. The ohhhhhing, awwwwing and squeeing unnerved most of the people around us so we had to find another outlet. 😉 It’s a varied mix of genres but well you know how these book addictions work. So take a drink and join the discussion.

Caro: Alright so I read the Mortal Instruments series a few years back and I have to admit I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t relate the books if I read them now. But I can’t help but want to read City of Lost Souls. I mean come ON!!! Jace and Clary embracing on the cover? YAY They both look AWESOME! It looks romantic. *sigh*.
Same thing with The Taken. I have been traumatized by …

So here we are, we’ll give you our Top 3!! It wasn’t easy to just choose 3 and I’m pretty sure if you’d asked again in a week I’d have a different selection! =P We hope you’ll tell us your Top 3 too! *g* Also we’re curious to know what you’d like publishers to change for 2012, more half-naked men? Less headless models? Tell us what you’d want to see changed. =) Our 3 favorite covers of 2011:

Welcome to our Holiday edition of The Good The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? Since we started the final countdown to Christmas and yes since we’re hosting a Holiday Challenge (HERE), we thought we should take a look at covers of Holiday/Xmas themed new releases. We’ll take you on an adventure from Sexy contemp to historical romance, from Paranormal to Small Town romance…let’s see what publishers think looks Xmasy 😉 Be prepared of all the stars, christmas trees and other seasonal tropes.

Sexy contemp romances:

Susi:  Okay first thing: I so don’t like the font on the Cari Quinn cover and when they use snowflakes in red it doesn’t look very nice. In all the cover is just too full and the christmas baubles looked more like eggs on first sight. LOL Made me go a bit O_o

Hmm, the Kennedy cover is just christmasy cuz the title has christmas in it. …

Welcome to a new week of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week’s topic pretty much jumped at our feet! It’s by pure chance that I saw a pretty review copy of Fool Moon on Netgalley and I knew I had to read it! I just couldn’t look away from such a pretty cover. So it was only logical that we would start talking about graphic novel covers with you today! We chose covers of series we know and loved/hated.

Susi: The Dresden cover is awesome. When I compare that to the usual old Dresden covers- let’S say it’s just wow. I have never read any of the Dresden books so I can’t say iof the guy fits the descriptions but well this cover …

Herzlich Willkommen everyone to this weeks edition of coversnark. We will venture into the deep and ugly sphere of German book covers. You will see the unbelievable today (not joking here) but we also got some nice ones in tow to soften the damage we will cause your eyes.
We advice to read on with caution- you will never be able to undo the damage. Keep in mind that no authors had a say in these covers and we should all offer our condolences for them.

Caro: I’m not really sure why the publishers still think adding bats is a good idea. Yes we get it, these are vampire books O_o Sadly none of the Brothers can turn into bats. *sigh* The covers aren’t ‘Bad’ but I’m …

Welcome to our new edition of The Good, The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?! I’m pretty sure that many of you uses GoodReads (if you don’t then you really should think about trying! *wink*). And what do you do there? You add upcoming books you really can’t wait to read, most of the time they don’t even have a cover yet. So when one day you realize by accident that it now HAS A COVER it gets pretty exciting!!! Well last week I stumbled upon a few of them and it was a great surprise *g*. So this week we will both show you the covers of books we can’t wait to read!

Susi: O_o well you all know I’m not …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome back to our bi-weekly adventure in Coverland! This week’s theme was decided by fate…well I like to think it was fate 😉 I went on the French Amazon website to get a birthday present for my cousin (obviously a book* *g*) and I was attracted by all the shiny new French covers. So here we are ladies and gentlemen, the best and worst of the new French covers .

* If anyone’s curious I chose Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. I hope she’ll love it too!

Caro: The Iron Hunt cover (Démoniaque) is the cover that caught my eyes on the website. What a gorgeous cover. I love it to pieces. I love the ‘colors’ I LURVE the tattoos and I even like the title. My …
