A Wounded Name<br /><br />And I just had to add my comment to yours for 12. Twisted Perfection:<br /><i>"Sorry to break it to you, guys, but forehead-kissing really isn't very twisted."</i> - Maybe he's not going to kiss it? Maybe he's twisted forehead licking pervert. :D<br />Dragana M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01012304691571509653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-12460309992792065222013-02-25T11:09:45.956-05:002013-02-25T11:09:45.956-05:00Awww, I hope you feel better soon.

I think she privately hates him, and wants to stab him with that finger on his shoulder. Passive aggressive, much?!<br /><br />12. Haha, those crazy forehead kissers!<br /><br />19. Oooo I've been waiting for the cover of this one for months, and I love it! So dark, and I love the way the font fits behind the hills.<br /><br />28. People are not obligatory. Important lesson there!<br /><br />33. Fail! Although I'm annoyed this series is so pretty because it disappointed me so much :(<br /><br />49. Does he have grey hair?!<br /><br />WTF 1.

This is too much.<br /><br />Sweet Legacy: I haven't read the series either, but I can't imagine she's meant to be so old.<br /><br />Yes! My goal in cover snark is to make people spittake. lol.<br /><br />The Guest House: For real. Ick. I hope I don't read this stuff when I'm old. I want to keep reading awesome things.<br /><br />A Need so Insatiable: Yeah, it really doesn't tell the viewer anything except that they're a couple. Well, duh, it's a romance. We can't even tell what time period this is or anything.<br /><br />Controlling the Dead: Yeah, it's not terrible. For a self-pub, it's downright respectable.<br /><br />Descendant: For real. I am all about the covers matching the styles in the book. I don't remember her wearing outlandish things in the first one.<br /><br />Fairyvision: I won copies of the first couple and haven't read them yet. oops!<br /><br />Moving Forward: She'll move somewhere when that car hits her.<br /><br />Resist: I still need to read Breathe!<br /><br />No Angel: Isn't it? I'm so excited to read about an angel who's not all super cereal.<br /><br />A Radiant Sky: Crazy people.<br /><br />Fiddlehead: I wish I liked Priest's books as much as her covers.<br /><br />Thanks, dear!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-7232087215852969872013-02-21T09:37:06.302-05:002013-02-21T09:37:06.302-05:00OMG when you said long I didn't expect that lo...OMG when you said long I didn't expect that long lol!! I just opened a new window to scroll down to the comment box and I swear it took like a year. Can't wait to read this now!! <br /><br />The Burning Sky sounds really awesome and I am totally loving that cover. I agree with the cheesy tagline though. <br /><br />Faster We Burn does have a very hard to read font. I like the colors though. I am a sucker for pink! <br /><br />The chick on sweet legacy does look really old. Is she supposed to be a teenager? I haven't read the series. <br /><br />I just almost spit my coffee reading your comment for The Curse of Romeo and Juliet. Lol!!<br /><br />The Guest House looks like something I would find on my hubs grandmothers end table. <br /><br />Escape From Eden does nothing for me. It sounds like it might be good, but the cover is just okay to me.<br /><br />Voodoo Wedding doesn't interest me in any way. It looks very cheesy. <br /><br />LOL @ My Lady Quicksilver!! <br /><br />*stops to get more coffee*<br /><br />Okay, I'm back. A Need So Insatiable is very underwhelming. Apparently the new trend on book covers is couples embracing, but there needs to be something more. <br /><br />Taste Test is a cutesy cover. I like it though.<br /><br />Controlling the Dead had an okay cover. I like the worn out look on it. I haven't read any of the series though. <br /><br />I like the cover for Twisted Perfection. I think it looks romantic. Twisted, no, but that's okay. <br /><br />Okay, I need to not comment on every single one. Only a few for the rest of the post lol!! <br /><br />Lol!! I have actually seen some teen girls walking around in some very questionable outfits, though not quite like on the Descendants cover. <br /><br />I love the cover for Not A Drop To Drink. It was actually my WoW this week. <br /><br />OMG I love The Creature Department cover!! That is so cute and awesome!! <br /><br />The Fairy Vision cover is really awesome too. I have only read the first book. I suck because I have the first 4 of them signed by the author. Need to get back to the series. <br /><br />I love the cover for Bitter Angel. I am totally intrigued by the cover and it really does sound good. <br /><br />Moving Forward - Why is the chick on a chair in the middle of the road. Doesn't look like she's moving anywhere. <br /><br />I think the Resist cover is awesome!! I am definitely looking forward to that book!! I didn't even notice his hand in the air until you pointed it out lol!! <br /><br />I'm laughing at the tagline on the No Angel cover!! I so need to read that book. Fang Girl was really funny, so I imaging that will be too. <br /><br />The cover model on A Radiant Sky is in a super awkward and uncomfortable looking position. Who really stands like that? <br /><br />Fiddlehead had an awesome cover!! I totally want to read it just from that!! <br /><br />The Witch Hunter tagline... WTF?!! That is very disturbing. <br /><br />Okay, I'm done. Awesome post chick!! Love your snark!! :) <br /><br /> Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09669564557768319285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-43433028475901145562013-02-21T09:34:25.806-05:002013-02-21T09:34:25.806-05:001.

Well, even the good ones make it on here. lol.<br /><br />5. But the picture doesn't make them look too old. That's also the most depressing tagline ever. <br /><br />10. DO NOT KISS IN PUBLIC, YOU WHORE! Yeah, I don't know what that's about.<br /><br />35. Yup! Notice that it probably wouldn't be on any other book!<br /><br />37. That's why they make the big bucks. At least ones on big 6/5 covers, I assume.<br /><br />CB4: It is creepy.<br /><br />CB5: Yeah, and I think the new cover looks like a sci fi.

Or the steam from the engines keeps it balmy.<br /><br />TASTE TEST: Ha, that is also a good point. I don't know who that is either, because I don't care about cooking shows.<br /><br />TWISTED PERFECTION: Lol. Ew. Yeah, that wasn't classy. It's like the American Pie of books. Now with a special unrated edition!<br /><br />DESCENDANT: Clothes are important to you.<br /><br />DESERT TALES: Yeah, it really isn't the same vibe as the others, which are a bit edgier.<br /><br />HIS CLOCKWORK CANARY: No idea. It's not flattering, though.<br /><br />FIDDLEHEAD: She learned from River Tam.<br /><br />GRIS GRIMLY'S FRANKENSTEIN: You didn't know Frankenstein was a goth with skinny jeans?<br /><br />THE WITCH HUNTER: I think that's the point.<br /><br />THESE BROKEN STARS: They're actually space creatures.<br /><br />STOLEN: Yup.

It's not a good sign when the first thing I think of when I see a cover is "that'll be on cover snark for sure." I shouldn't have to squint to see the title.<br /><br />5. The tagline kind of implies that it could be about a couple in their golden years.<br /><br />10. Last week guitars, this week frying pans. Is kissing supposed to be done in secret now?<br /><br />19. Love this. <br /><br />24. OMG this is just TOO CUTE! <br /><br />33. Love this one too. And it matches!<br /><br />35. See, awesome taglines can happen. <br /><br />37. I feel really bad for the models for some of these covers. It must be really hard to stand their all awkward to have pictures taken.<br /><br />CB 4. The redesign totally freaks me out, but wins because the original is terrible.<br /><br />CB 5. DO NOT LIKE! Why on earth would you change a cover that everyone freaking loves? I'm hopeful that this only going to be for PB because the Belladonna cover (at least right now anyway) matches the HC one.<br /><br />WTF 1. *snorts* why yes she did.Kimberly @ Midnight Book Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649785182080499981noreply@blogger.com
