Cover Snark: Oh Hey, Katy Perry!


Welcome back to Cover Snark!

The Duke's Sister and I by Emma Claire Sunday. Two women appear to be having a staring contest. One has red hair and wears a blue dress. The other is blonde and has on a purple dress. Both women have their hair up with curls coming down around their ears. They are forehead to forehead and they are intensely staring.

Sarah: This is both neat and also awkwardly posed?

Kiki: I love the idea of this cover, but it is just so obvious that these two people are not organically in the same photo

They’re looking beyond each other?

Sarah: They’re touching but don’t seem to be connected.

Tara: It’s giving more “Okay, okay. Don’t look, but did you see that person? I said don’t look! Her dress is TERRIBLE.”

Sarah: I SAID DON’T LOOK OMG Carole.

Tara: Typical Carole…

Sarah: Or maybe the blonde with the lovely curls is like, *Look at me, no not at her she’s terrible and wrong, look at me. See here? Your dress is fabulous. Don’t listen to her she’s terrible.”

Tara: I like this version very much!

The Cat Lady's Secret by Linda W. Yezak. Half of a woman from the shoulders up takes up most of the cover. She has dark hair pulled up with pink, think-rimmed glasses and pink lips. Her finger is at her mouth and she's looking up in a thinking motion. Over her right shoulder is a smaller image of a older woman in a big red sunhat carrying a cat in a big red purse.

Amanda: 1. That’s Katy Perry

2. What if instead of a devil on your shoulder, you had a cat lady?

Tara: I know we usually talk about the visuals, but that description on there is bonkers.

Emily Taylor loves to help people, loves to ease their burdens and make their dreams come true. But when a conman ruins her reputation, she discovers that helping others is safer and easier from behind the scenes. When one of Emily’s gifts captures the attention of an avid journalist, her identity as the town’s anonymous benefactor-and her renewed relationship with her high school sweetheart-are threatened. As her private life begins to unravel, she realizes the one hope for regaining control lies behind prison walls.

Sarah: Prison as a plot device in a rom com is…something.

Maya: Honestly the part that always makes me nuts about prison stuff is that they always get some of the most obvious things wrong. I had to bail on one that kept calling the SHU ( secured housing unit in California state prisons), the shoe. I just can’t unsee that. And yeah, it’s hard for me to see any trip through the criminal justice system as a lighthearted, hilarious romp. Unless they keep saying someone just got sent to the shoe.

Claudia: Someone watched an episode of Orange is the New Black and really didn’t go back to check.

Sarah: Also yes that really does look like Katy Perry.

The Perfect Creation by Marie Harte. These are two very shiny individuals. There's a shirtless man looking down at his shoulder. A woman with red and black hair stands behind him. She's equally as shiny and has electric blue eyes.

From MegCat: Where are the lower halves of their bodies? Is that what he’s looking for and why she’s rolling her eyes?

Sarah: The light on that planet made me think that was her leg and she is half stone.

Lara: His pecs seem to be very different shapes or is the baby-oil-lighting that’s tricking me?

Elyse: Why so shiny?

Amanda: Now I have Shiny from Moana stuck in my head.

Biting Oz by Mary Hughes. Just a giant shirtless, headless man. Everything is in this weird sickly grey greenish hue.

From Lils: Each title in this series has three sizes of font. Including one with curlicues!

Amanda: Aggressive nipple alert.

Elyse: they really missed an opportunity to have the nipples dot the i’s

Sarah: Wait, is one of his nipples named “Oz?” Which one?

Tara: Probably the one pointing towards the word.
