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

Welcome back to our biweekly cover talk. This week we decided to talk about comic-like covers. Usually we both don’t tend to buy those because we have the prejudice to shelf them as chiclit and well that’s not our kind of genre. But author’s like Molly Harper proved us wrong so well here we are.
Don’t forget we don’t know all the books we talk about and our judgement is only concerning the cover not the books content.
Don’t forget to tell us what you think in the comments!

Caro: When I look at these 3 covers I’m expecting some chick-lit. Silly story. It’s hard not to think that when I see ‘comic-like’ covers. High Stakes is funny because it played with the Bat/vampire cliché but I’m not loving the rest.

And One Last Thing’s cover actually works for me. It’s not playing on the silly factor and it’s simple. I even like the …

Or on my neck? Or …

I am a huge fan of the books and I cannot wait for Trapped. It’s fantastic that Atticus is sharing the spotlight with Granuaile. *squeee* I just wished he wasn’t wearing a deep V-neck shirt *rolleyes*

I love the new Gail Carriger cover! It’s just awesome. It’s stylish and badass all in 1 cover. I wonder who she’s planning to kill with her scissors …

Day 1 – The Arrival
The German View:
We (the bf, a friend et moi) started our trip in Magdeburg at 12 pm. After a 2 hour train ride we arrived in Berlin and made our trip to the hotel. With my great google maps navigation skills we only had a tiny bit of a longer trip packed with all the bags to the hotel but well I didn’t have to carry my bag. (Susi the egoistic one). We checked in and after a small break we made our way back into the city to take advantage of the movies in English. …

Lisa Marie Rice / Bella Andre

Susi: At first glance I do like the Hot as Sin cobver. The dude is hot but now that I stared at it for a while I wonder about the background. Is it just sunset red forest or is it burning down? And did it rain or is he just awfully sweaty?Well there aren’t any flames- it’s just reddish. *shrug* The I Only Have Eyes For You is cutish contemporary romancy. Cliché and all. I prolly wouldn’t buy it of the cover alone because it doesn’t stand out. It’s …
