I freely admit that I went online to find the #worstcover. Turns out I have spent the last few years collecting only books with nice covers! I came up empty. This cover is way more puzzling than ugly. I mean, the female body is beautiful, but in this context it‘s more mystifying than lovely. Wouldn‘t you agree?

sprainedbrain Ummm. I must have missed that scene in Huck Finn. 🤷🏻♀️ 7y
Lcsmcat @sprainedbrain You and I must have read the expurgated version! 7y

rubyslippersreads I'm sure that's something Huck would have enjoyed seeing. 🤣 7y
GingerAntics What part of Huckleberry Finn has a naked lady? Not that Huck would have minded, I‘m sure. 7y
Reviewsbylola Hahaha, totally not a cover I ever would have imagined for this book! 7y
KathyWheeler This cover makes no sense for Huckleberry Finn. 7y
CindyMyLifeIsLit @sprainedbrain @Lcsmcat @rubyslippersreads @GingerAntics @Reviewsbylola @KathyWheeler Maybe this is from the sequel—when Huck begins his erotic adventures as a teenager drifting down the river! 😁 7y
GingerAntics @CindyMyLifeIsLit ROTFL that must be it!!! It makes so much sense now. 7y
sprainedbrain @CindyMyLifeIsLit 🤣🤣🤣 That darn Huck! 7y
KathyWheeler @CindyMyLifeIsLit 😄 7y
Betty I noticed "publisher" Vexin Classics so I googled. Here's a list someone compiled on Amazon. Example: naked woman on horse for Pride and Prejudice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/R1LTCHNRL4TNO3 @sprainedbrain @GingerAntics @rubyslippersreads @Lcsmcat @Reviewsbylola @KathyWheeler @CindyMyLifeIsLit 7y
sprainedbrain @Betty omg! There are so many! 😳 7y
Betty We've figured out someone combined public domain books with classic paintings to sell as kindle versions. $$💲 7y
rubyslippersreads @Betty I think the worst one is The Little Gingerbread Man. 😱 7y
GingerAntics @Betty wow, it looks like they‘ve put naked or nearly naked women on most of those covers. Interesting choice. 7y
GingerAntics @rubyslippersreads wow, yes it is. Whose crazy idea was this madness? 7y
CindyMyLifeIsLit @Betty @GingerAntics @rubyslippersreads @sprainedbrain Yes, I think The Little Gingerbread Man wins the prize for most inappropriate cover ever, but I see that Tom Sawyer, Oliver Twist, and Frankenstein rated naked women, as well! I did enjoy the naked woman on a horse for P&P! I would have to guess that would be Lydia—looks like something she would do! 😜 7y
GingerAntics @CindyMyLifeIsLit yeah there is at least some logic to the naked woman on the front of A Horse for P&P. lol 7y
keepingupwiththepenguins Hahaha what the heck? That is such a bizarre choice for cover art!! 😅😂😅😂 5y
