Welcome back to Cover Snark! Elyse: Did they just glue someone else’s head onto this body ? Tara: I’d need a drink, too, if that happened to me. Sarah: “And you may ask yourself, how did I get here?” Sneezy: Remember when Roman men used to sculptures of their heads on top of whichever sculpture of young, buff, homoerotic bodies that took their fancy? Well, they at least got the same lighting? From Emily: All … Continue reading Cover Snark: Whistling Bellybuttons→
I’m BACK! My Dropbox runneth over with contemporary romance covers that feature a single color, and my brain dances like a kaleidoscope of candy. If you’re just arriving here at the mayhem, welcome! I’m taking really good look at the Contemporary Romance Colors that are most prevalent on covers this year and attempt to identify what is the CR-COTY, the Contemporary Romance Color of the Year. In my last post, we talked about Green. A … Continue reading Contemporary Romance Color of the Year: Peach & Pink?→
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Pam G: There is a lot to see here, including wind machines in space. However, our hero has solved it with a plait! According to the Goog, this is called a Dutch braid–so, all business in the front, salon day in the back. Though, to be honest, I am more reminded of the Rat King in The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rats, as that is exactly how I … Continue reading Cover Snark: Pit Check→
I’ve decided to take a really good look at the Contemporary Romance Colors that are most prevalent on covers this year and attempt to identify what is the CR-COTY, the Contemporary Romance Color of the Year. Sidenote: did you know I’m not technically supposed to name things? I’m not good at it. If “CR-COTY” is making your eyelids twitch, I am also responsible for the name DABWAHA, the bracket tournament of romance we used to … Continue reading Contemporary Romance Color of the Year: Green?→
Every now and again I get finished copies of books, which is nifty, especially now that hard copies come with colorful treatments on the edges, or embossing and foil on the covers. But I kept seeing this one book on my desk out of the corner of my eye and had to look again to remember which of the Fuchsia Pink Contemporaries it was. It kept giving me a double-take because there have been so … Continue reading Tracking the Contemporary Romance Color of the Year→
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Thibeault: No words needed. Sarah: I’m not sure what the penis – sorry, problem is here. Looks phallic, I mean, fine to me. Elyse: It looks like something the cat does in the litter box that leads to an expensive vet visit. Sarah: After eating the plastic Easter grass, yeah. From Susie T: 1. At what point does the towel fall off? They keep placing pants and towels so … Continue reading Cover Snark: Poor Vincent→
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Maya: He’s got falcon wings and I think scales? Texturally I do not understand what is happening on his body, but then also apparently not enough because it looks like his waist was also photoshopped Sneezy: Maaaaybe that’s like a cobra hood? Something about how plastic the body looks is giving me weird sensory icks. Amanda: Yeah there is something rubbery happening. Sarah: Feathers, rubber, AND Lycra are a bit … Continue reading Cover Snark: A Whole Host of Textures→
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From MegCat: I didn’t know “Liar, liar, pants on fire” was quite this literal. Sarah: Poor person. EVERYONE can see when an air biscuit hath been floated. Poor Emma, engulfed in fart. Elyse: Okay but where is his head? Sarah: The helmet is cropped in such a way that it looks like he’s wearing a big Daft Punk mask? Amanda: It’s 10 o’ clock. Do you know where your Emmas … Continue reading Cover Snark: Orc Taylor Lautner→
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Sara: WTF llamas?? I couldn’t help but share this cover I stumbled across. I stopped, my jaw dropped with a stuttered “What?!?” All the other covers in this series have a dog on them…and then…Llama!!! And a very serious, lip-pursing llama. Sarah: That llama has STORIES to TELL and TEA to SPILL. Carrie: Please tell me the llama is the narrator. Sarah: If the series is Montana Secrets…how many … Continue reading Cover Snark: Suspenseful Llamas→
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Linnea: I am sure that no doctor except maybe a male sophomore or junior medical student would be wearing a stethoscope while shirtless. It was bad enough when they wore their little white coats on dates… Sarah: Intern! InterNips! Hang on what’s with his “belt?” Are those laceup pants? Or is he using string as a belt? What is happening there? He looks so bored. How do you wander … Continue reading Cover Snark: Celebrity Lookalikes→
Happy Monday, Cover Snarkers! From Melodie: There is just something about his meticulously quilted pecs and the ab window that I find more giggle-worthy than seductive. Sarah: METICULOUSLY QUILTED PECS. I am deceased. I cannot. Omg. Oh, gosh, LKBookLover sent me this cover too. Quilted pecs for all! Amanda: In fairness, drinking whiskey can lead to lots of troubles. (Upon reading the book description, Whiskey is the family surname on which the entire series is … Continue reading Cover Snark: Shifter Daycare→
