#aprilbookshowers Day 15 I just really don't care for this cover. #badcovergoodbook

TrishB I like this one better than mine for the same book! 8y
Alfoster Seriously, there are so many other things that could have been done for this!😳 8y
Bookzombie @TrishB I went back and looked at yours again. It is bad. 😁 8y

Bookzombie @Alfoster I know! 🙂 8y
Melissa_J I actually like this cover in and of itself, but not for this book. 8y
Lwiesman On my tbr list of 50 classics in 5 years. 8y
Bookzombie @Melissa_J I agree with you. I could see it on some other book. 8y
Bookzombie @Lwiesman It took me a long time to read it, but I'm glad I did. 8y

Playing catch up! This is a delightful story that deserves a better cover. And it's the first mention of Peter Pan! Why do so many editions of this book have such plain Jane covers? #aprilbookshowers #badcovergoodbook

#aprilbookshowers Day 15 - #badcovergoodbook

Yes I'm posting about Mistborn again because it is amazing and I love it. 😂 I don't love the US covers though 😐 (pic on left). On the right is an example of the U.K. covers which are gorgeous!

Moray_Reads The US cover is very uninspired but the font is AWFUL! What were they thinking?? 8y
underthebelljar @Moray_Reads I have no idea! The U.K. editions are gorgeous though. 8y

#BadCoverGoodBook #AprilBookShowers
I don't care for any of this publisher's (Plume) covers for August Wilson's Century Cycle installments. They've published several; and they're all styled in this fashion. I think a Pulitzer title/author deserves more consideration.

Donna_sBookMinute And yes. I'm lusting for this title 😍 8y

Some may be surprised at this choice for #BadCoverGoodBook. The profile of Nadia Turner stands out; but the abstract design just doesn't coincide with the tone of the story. I'm looking forward to a new cover in future editions. #AprilBookShowers

LauraBeth I don't like this cover either! 8y

#badcovergoodbook #aprilbookshowers. Rumpole stories are always so funny but the covers are terrible.

Such a blah cover. I think I picked it up because of the title. I would LOVE to have a 24 hour bookstore!! Does it exist anywhere? There's a 24 hour Apple Store in NYC. Why isn't there a 24 hour bookstore?? I ended up loving the book. 😄 #badcovergoodbook #aprilbookshowers @RealLifeReading

hyacinth @RealLifeReading Wow, I didn't know that! 😍 But I should be less surprised, Taiwan does love 24 hour stores... 8y
Booksbymybed I like that the cover glows in the dark a bit. 24 hour bookstore would be heaven 8y

BookishFeminist We have a 24 hour bookstore on the weekends in D.C. called Kramerbooks. 😀 It's awesome. 8y
angrylilasian @RealLifeReading That's exactly what I was dreaming about it! I will definitely visit if I ever go to Taiwan! 8y
angrylilasian @BookishFeminist Oooo! Just looked it up and it does look awesome! 8y
Donna_sBookMinute I was so engrossed in the book that I just overlooked the cover. But you're right. There are so many possibilities. The glow-in-the-dark feature is fun, though. 8y
silentrequiem @BookishFeminist I didn't realize it was open all weekend! That's awesome. 8y

I honestly couldn't think of anything for "bad cover good book" I don't know yet If this is a good book, and I just think the cover is weird, not so much bad, but it's the best I could come up with. #AprilBookShowers #BadCoverGoodBook @RealLifeReading

JazzFeathers That's really such a weird cover... but l kind of like it :) 8y
Donna_sBookMinute I actually like this cover. 8y
GypsyKat @JazzFeathers @Donna_sBookMinute I like it too, weird or not. 😊 8y
