Happy Monday! Need some Cover Snark? From Judyw: Not sure if this is the right category for the cover snark recommendation or not. But OMG check out WINGMAN by Paedon Sims. Is that an oreo cookie? Is that his linen napkin stuck in his armpit? I need answers. Sarah: Many of the decisions that went into this cover were unfortunate. Amanda: My brain knows this is dirt, but it’s also blue? From Jen: The guys … Continue reading Cover Snark: More Questions Than Answers →
Happy Monday! Let’s have some Cover Snark! From Squee_Me: Cover snark! I’m not sure if this is the right place to share a proposed cover snark…I saw this in a Kobo 2 for 1 sale. The guy’s abs look like the Transformers Autobot logo (I know this thanks to my husband and 11 yr old kid) or maybe a face of an alien. And now I can’t unsee it. Also the tattoo and his right … Continue reading Cover Snark: Bears, Transformers, & Aliens – Oh My! →
Welcome back to Cover Snark! Let’s look at some weird ones.

Happy Halloween, everyone! What better way to celebrate than with some Cover Snark! From Kris B: I’ve been trying to figure out why this woman’s pose disturbs me so much. She is clearly facing away, and her right arm could twist back that much. But my brain wants to say she’s facing forward. Just me? Sarah: Definitely not just you – the proportions on that right (??) arm are very distracting. I mean, it should … Continue reading Cover Snark: Happy Halloween! →
Amanda and I are back for cover mayhem! We’ve got crimes against Tom Hardy, questionable titles, and lots of visual silliness. There’s background barking of support from Zeb, inquiries as to the union terms of the shifter cover wolves, and questions about the futility of truly ever knowing who it was that let the dogs out. Thanks to David T. Cole for helping me figure out how to add images. You should be able to … Continue reading 534. Spooky Season Cover Snark →
Are we ready to Cover Snark? Tara: Have we done this one yet? Amanda: definitely not… I feel like we should have seen a butt crack by now. Carrie: That jaguar is so done with this shit Lara: Maybe it’s the angle, but the curvature of that spine seems a bit off? It’s vaguely C-shaped. Also, which one is the assassin? Maya: Totally, I’m like hey girl can I refer you to a chiropractor? Sarah: … Continue reading Cover Snark: Sometimes, Diagrams Are Necessary →
It’s Monday morning and time for some Cover Snark! From Rebecca: For your consideration for cover snarkiness because the title hurts my brain. Sarah: Sir, I am just as confused as you are. Elyse: WTF is happening with his armpit? Also it sounds like the baby she’s carrying is her roommate’s dad so is this a time travel issue? Sarah: Wait, maybe the cover model is pregnant with their roommate’s dad? That’s going to be … Continue reading Cover Snark: Is It Too Early for Easter? →
This Monday’s Cover Snark is all thanks to you! We love it when you send us some crazysauce covers. From Susan: For Cover Snark. Because if I have to keep looking at the bad hair and unpleasant facial expressions, so do you. Sarah: Did we snark this already? If so, did we figure out definitively what on earth happened to his hair? Amanda: We have definitely seen this couple. But maybe not on this cover? … Continue reading Cover Snark: Reader Submissions →

Welcome back to Cover Snark! Let’s get into it. Susan: Ma’am – ma’am, I need you to stop right there and put down the disembodied hand. Wait, no, it’s a coffee, I retract that snark and go back to my original “Did you know you’ve got a tree in your hair”.
