Join us for another Caption That Cover contest!
Thanks to Nadia, who brought this cover to our attention.
“Thrush” might be a bad choice of words for a title, but yet, here we are. The hero also seems to not want to break eye contact. What I’m trying to say is that there’s a lot to work with here!
Here are the rules for captioning that cover:
Comment below with your caption! Caption that cover however you wish! You can come up with a new title or tagline. Give us some insight about this “thrush” business. Or tell us what the hero was possibly be saying to put that poor woman to sleep. A winner will be randomly selected at the end of the contest!
The best captioner will receive a $10 bookstore credit to a book retailer of their choosing.
Standard disclaimers apply: We are not being compensated for this giveaway. Void where prohibited. Open to international residents where permitted by applicable law. Must be over 18. It’s possible the cover model’s eyes might follow you around the room. Not sure how thrush is involved, so protect yourself accordingly from both birds and infections. Comments will close Friday December 21, 2018 around noon ET, and a winner will be announced shortly thereafter.
Good luck!
Winner update: And the winner is LostShadows with the caption of:

We’ll be back in 2019 with more giveaways!
“Is that a thrush in your pants, my lord, or are you just glad to see me?”
Maxwell Smart and Agent 99, disguised as Svengoolie and Miss Gorgeous in the first ever triple mashup of unrelated TV shows, are on assignment in Berwyn, Illinois, to investigate rumors of T.H.R.U.S.H infiltration of the town’s annual Houby Fest mushroom parade, a potentially toxic and inflammatory situation.

“Tales of Bird Watching at a Renaissance Faire”
There was a hot lad from the Baltics
Who reveled in rich flowered fabrics.
His sleeves, they were ruffled.
His lady, she chuckled,
“I don’t get th’rush from such small dicks!”
“She’s checking out my sword, isn’t she? No my sword wink, wink.”
“My name is Duncan MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod. There can be only one.”
No one can know that the most feared man of the Karpathian mountains has lost his heart to a female groom. Only her forbidden knowledge keeps his monobrow in check. Erzsébet knows her grooming skills well matched for the man with the most contoured cheekbones in the kingdom – but is her heart?
“Forget the stupid bird… where did he get that doublet?!”
His gaze provided her the privacy to make his pants sing for her.
MUST…SMIZE…THROUGH…THE BURNING.
The Song of Thrush Take Yogurt, Coconut, Oil of Oregano …
Yes, I have a mouth yeast infection and I will sing about it!
If you break eye contact, you will die.
Watch out for that crescendo.
“If that damn thrush interrupts my proposition one more time, I swear it’s gonna be a bird-ka-bob.”
A body like Arnold with a David Blaine face
Trush check: This time, it’s personal
So,just what are you planning to do with that sword?
“If I keep…eye contact…they will not…notice…I am sucking a humbug…
This music isn’t just for the birds
Not a caption, but my first thought on seeing this cover was that it was first concept art for Galavant.
I feel the rush!
The rush
For thrush!
Doctor Livingston, I presume!
Have you ever… thrust with a thrush?
I am not clever enough for a caption, but he looks EXACTLY like a young version of Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters Ii… Anyone else try to lower your head and look up like that? It kinda hurts!

The Song of the Thrush: The Yeast Will Rise.
Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. I just need to…excuse me…just on your left…one second, keep preparing to die…oh, could you get out of the way…stupid maidens.
