TOP TEN COVERS WE WISH WE COULD REDESIGN

1

The Rocker that needs me by Terri Anne Browning.

Why oh why does it have to be two half naked persons on the cover. Sure they look good but it´s not really necessery!

2

Passion by Lauren Kate

Nope this cover´s not doin it for me. I mean, it´s way to gothic looking and to cartoonish. It just does not go well with the others in the series in my opinion.

3

Rush by Maya Banks

How did they come up with this cover? It has nothing at all to do with the book. Why?

4

Unforgiven by Cat Miller

Loved the book, Hate the cover

5

Avenging Angel by Tara Janzen

Ok, so I get it. This is an Adult book but come on! Does it have to look like a bad porno vomited all over the cover!? I mean look at the ugly ass jacket with the bare chest. Give it some style!

6

The Fiery Heart by Richelle Mead

How did they not come up with a nicer cover? It just looks all wrong.

7

Seize me by Crystal Spears

Awesome book but way to much happening on the cover. 

8

Sever by Lauren DeStefano

I really don´t like this cover. The colour is one reason.

9

One for the Money by Janet Evanovich

No comment!

10

Autumn by Maddy Edwards

Such a lovely story and they give it this cover.

Top Ten words/Topics that makes me not pick up a book

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

This week's topic is Top Ten Nine words/topics that make me NOT pick up a book

 

1, Mental Illness

I really don´t care to read about mental patients. I don´t wan´t to be in their heads... 

 

2, Terminal Illness

 This i just depressing.. I read to escape reality and I don´t want this kind of topic in my imaginery world. The only exception to this rule has been "The Burning Star" by Jessie Lane. But only because it had a magical happy ending lol

 

3, Spaceships/Sci Fi

Bleh! No, no and over again NO! I can read very light sci fi like The Host but not books with Spaceships and stuff. Just not for me. 

 

4, History

 I wan´t to be able to relate to the charachters and surroundings in my books so this is out of question for me. Either I read Urban Fantacy or paranormal the books always takes place in present time.

 

5, Death/Tragedy

Same answer as no. 2 

 

6, Politics

Ick! I hate politics. I just think it´s extremely boring. 

 

7, Zombies

Nope, not happening!

 

8, Religion

I don´t care for religion at all so this makes me throw a book across the room if I by some chance happen to come across one.

 

9, Boring Covers

 I´m a sucker for pretty covers and always pick up a book if the cover is nice (Ofcourse the blurb has to be good aswell). I mean it´s the first thing I see so if I don´t like the cover the chance is I woun´t read it....
