The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? Cover Quiz + Giveaway

Welcome to our new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week we have a Game for you! Since you enjoyed the last game we played, we thought we could come up with something fun but different. Last time there was only 1 good answer for each question, but this time we’ll give room to YOUR knowledge of covers. You can answer with the covers YOU know, in whichever genre you want. The game is simple… We tell you a requirement (a thing, an animal, an object, a word in the title…) and you have to come up with a book cover that fits the bill. Of course that alone would be too easy 😉 So you can earn more points depending on the level of difficulty.

Book Blurb:

Tesla Martin is drifting pleasantly through life, slinging lattes at Morningstar Mocha, enjoying the ebb and flow of caffeine-starved customers, devoted to her cadre of regulars. But none of the bottomless-cup crowd compares with Meredith, a charismatic force of nature who can coax intimate tales from even the shyest of Morningstar’s clientele.Caught in Meredith’s sensual, irresistible orbit, inexpressibly flattered by the siren’s attention, Tesla shares long-buried chapters of her life, holding nothing back. Nothing Meredith proposes seems impossible—not even Tesla sleeping with Meredith’s husband, Charlie, while she looks on. After all, it’s …

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

Welcome back to our new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week we decided to talk about look-alike covers. We’ve all at some point stumbled upon a cover that looks very very similar to another one. Sometimes it’s only 2 covers using the same Stock photo but doing 2 different thing with it…but sometimes it’s exactly the same cover. We’ve dig up a few example (mostly Historical romances because these are the ones I remembered the most) to show our point. It seems to happen a LOT with foreign (or UK) editions. It’s also often the case with YA covers but we didn’t go there today (it’s just too vast a field). So take a look and tell us what you think…

We Love Your Comments Giveaway Winner & New Start

The winner of our We Love Your Comments Giveaway for August is … Aliyah who commented on our Bookish Rants or Raves: Do Not Meddle in the Affairs of Dragons post:

Aliyah on Aug 8, 2012 @ 4:07 Okay, I see your logic with most of these books, but, I have to say that as a child I loved the Harry Potter books (and I still do as a guilty pleasure). So I have to argue that although there is abuse of dragons in this one and in the seventh book, the storytelling is great (there is no rape unlike the other books) and I advise people to read this book.

Congratulations! An email will been sent to you. Please email us back in the in the next 72 hours to claim your price.

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

Welcome back to  The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? our bi-weekly cover discussion (<==criticizing-fest).

It’s been a while since we last take a look at what was coming out in Germany.  Susi found us quite a few gems to work with. So let’s remember it’s all just for fun and let the cover talk begin.*g*

 Caro: Honestly I hated the original cover for Shatter me but I really like the German cover. It’s simple but pretty. I like how her dress seems to melt into swirly things.  WAY better than the original.

Lara Adrian‘s cover is ‘nice’  but it’s the kind I would forget in 2 seconds. I like the sensual lips but otherwise it’s a it generic. All the covers in this series are made the same way, I know it’s to give the series the same look but in the end I just end up confusing them all.

The Frost cover just doesn’t …
