#goodbookbadcover

Wrote a bit on my blog for the first time in a while! I was inspired by the #goodbookbadcover hashtag for #aprilbookshowers and my recent reading of this book (and my decision whether to buy the next one or read from the library) to think about how much covers make a difference to me in book buying now versus how they used to.

Ok... I ended up finding a book that I truly think the cover is bad and doesn't do it justice. Maybe I am just biased as my favorite childhood copy was a well worn paperback with young Anne in pigtails.. not this older stern watchful Anne.

LeahBergen Wow! That's ugly. And what is up with these omnibus editions? (Check out MY post for today, too 😂) 8y
Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen *still shuddering* 😂😂 You are absolutely correct! 8y
Donna_sBookMinute I have this collection but with a younger Anne. You're right. This one's bad. 8y
Jess_Read_This @Donna_sBookMinute It is pretty bad.. I don't think it keeps with Anne's personality at all. Is the younger Anne version a nicer cover? 8y

#goodbookbadcover #badcovergoodbook I love nonfiction but generally their covers are 💩 The book by Wright was fascinating piece of history. The other is a disturbing tale of a lonely woman who befriends a student and his family. Tagged below

LeahBergen The Messud one is on my shelf. 8y
minkyb I never thought about non fiction covers before. It is so true! 8y

Two books I loved, two covers I hated. I need to replace my copy of White Teeth with a non-adaptation cover. And I've mentioned The Way the Crow Flies before, it languished unread on my shelf for years because the cover was so blah.

MayJasper No no no to both covers 8y
TheKidUpstairs @Mayjasper I know, right? But such great books, it's a shame. 8y
Born.A.Reader I just found Crow in my little free library! It looks really good -although my cover is different than yours. ☺☺ 8y
LeahBergen I loved both of these, too (and don't like those covers! 😬) 8y
Hooked_on_books Wow, that White Teeth cover is so bad! 8y

#novemberbookchallenge #22: Good book, bad cover

This is great example of poor marketing. One look at this book and you'd think it was a harlequin romance 😕
