For us in the States, it’s a holiday weekend! If you’re in the Northeast though, it’s rainy and gross and you may be stuck inside. So here’s some Cover Snark. And even if you’re not stuck in less than pleasant weather, have some Cover Snark anyway!
Sarah: It’s not a romance, and it probably says more about my 12-year-old-boy sense of humor than anything else, but the combination of That Title + That Series Title + Those Cover Models brings to mind…well, I’m sure you can figure it out.
Amanda: A rimfire is what happens when I eat too much spicy food.
Amanda: HOW DARE YOU, TINY DOG
RHG: THAT IS UNFAIR ADVERTISING
I’m pretty sure.
Carrie: I have no interest in the dude whatsoever but sure, I’ll take the dog.
Iz zo fluffffffyyyyy.
Sarah: That is one powerful small dog. I’m sort of in awe of it.
Amanda: What is “Pony” by Ginuwine, Alex.
Elyse: Just what my eleven-year-old sense of humor needed on a Monday
Sarah: I’ll take, “That Thong tha-thong-thong-thong” for 1000, please.
Amanda: How many benefits are we talking here?
RHG: Dental?
Amanda: Babies aren’t cheap, so let’s hope.
Elyse: They couldn’t iron the shirt for the photo shoot?
Amanda: And judging by the fabric, it looks like he’s wearing basketball shorts.
Elyse: Classy.
“A rimfire is what happens when I eat too much Mexican food.” Ahahahahahaha! Same.
You know I love the Bitchery, but I could really do without the “Mexican food gives me diarrhea, hur hur hur!” jokes.
@Suleikha: You’re completely right, Suliekha. It was an immature and classless comment. It’s also been edited in the post.
Wait…”Rimfire” isn’t a M/M romance? Wha…?
“I’ll take that puppy from you now, guy who is too dumb to zip his coat or wear a hat or gloves in the snow, let alone understand that live animals should never be given as gifts!”
lol about the Friends With Benefits one especially. The shirt is totally wrinkled and yea those look like basketball shorts.
@Amanda, thanks. I appreciate the edit.
William W. Johnstone “fun fact”: This very prolific pulp author died in 2004 but still produces multiple new books a year.
I apparently bought Bone Song back in 2011 but have no recollection of it.
live animals should never be given as gifts
If the purpose of this cover was, for some reason, to make people decide not to buy the book … they’ve succeeded. Some kind of weird tax write-off thing, maybe?
Known fact … country guys don’t button up those Carhartt jackets unless the weather is really, really bad. Like ice forming on the Carhartt or camo t-shirt bad. So just a little Christmas may include taking care of a whiny guy with a little frostbite.
Rimfire has me rolling my eyes. Really? That’s the cover someone approved?
As an aside: The Forbidden Promises cover (one of the ads) looks like the guy has a black eye (right eye). I’m not the only one seeing that, am I?
@scifigirl:

Sorry, no, it’s just you. To me he looks more like he’s at least a week overdue for a good night’s sleep.
Unfortunately, scrolling up for a closer look brought me right past the “Wax Creative” headline which to me just sounds painful.
‘Rimfire’. snigger.
Your cover snark posts never fail to cheer me up!
Uh, sorry this is so, but to “bone” someone means to “fire them from their job” in Australian English. For extra unsexy points, it tends to be chauvinist pig producers doing the firing and female TV presenters on the receiving end.
So…maybe it’s not so odd if I think “Rattlin’ Bones” by Kasey Chambers when you say “Bone Song”. Kinda matches the book, at that.
Why can’t women have big dogs? Oh wait, they can. The book I’m currently listening to – the woman owns a well-trained rottweiler.
And I’m giggling like Beavis & Butthead at RimFire and Bone Song. If they need instructions, they should try “My Neck, My Back”.
Wow…Rimfire…I can only guess someone with a squeaky clean mind decided that was a keeper of a title.
