Have you ever wished you could re-cover a book? When I was a teenager, I wished I could redo the cover of this book. I really hated this cover and thought the amulet featured in the book would have made a better cover than these poorly edited fiercely sculptured male bodies (can you see the dark lines tracing their muscles?). Granted, this isn't the best book. It desperately needed more editing for basic typos! #BadCovers #LGBTQ

Kenyazero @PuddleJumper I'm not convinced that it is/was a lighting strategy or problem 😂 (edited) 3y

I almost didn‘t buy this book because I didn‘t get the cover. Now that I‘ve read the book though, the cover holds a special place in my heart. Joining Majors on her journey inspired me more than I can express.

#riotgrams Day 21 - #BadCovers

I really struggled with this prompt because after going through my bookshelves I honestly couldn‘t find any book covers I hated. So I went with this one because I typically hate when they change the book cover to be a still from the movie adaptation.

Into The Water | Paula Hawkins

I saw this book advertised all over Tokyo and kept thinking it was an unattractive cover. Then I realized it's a translation of Paula Hawkin's new novel. Note the Japanese edition is in two volumes (They do this a lot. I assume easier to read on a train but also makes more money for the publisher?) my library's home page just had it available so time to see how it is! After i finish these other 2 ebooks... #mommyreads #ebook #japanese #badcovers

Love the book, hate the cover. All I see is a guy who appears to be very constipated. #badcovers #riotgrams

JaclynW I haven't read the book yet and yes, the cover isn't appealing. In fact, for the longest time I wouldn't add it to my TBR just because of the cover. I know that I'm breaking the "don't judge a book by its cover" rule but I had to! I finally gave in because of the Litsy love for the book, so it's officially on my list now. ?? 7y
britt_brooke I despise this cover. The photograph is called The Orgasmic Man. 7y
IWriteInTheNight Hahaha I so agree with you about the cover. It makes me cringe so hard 😂. 7y

JacqMac Same. I always put it down upside down so I wouldn‘t have to look at it. 7y

I don‘t own this edition, but this is truly a contender for the worst of the #badcovers that have been inflicted upon classics. #riotgrams @Liberty

My ugly ducklings...if I had to name the covers, I'd go with Ridiculous, Offensive, and Boring.
