New Covers For Old 2022: Day VI

Woooow. I mean…Nathan, you are exceeding even our wildest expectations here. We have a slateful for the 2022 Lousies, right here in River City.

1. Lilith Cohen: better, but still far from good. Now, she looks like a trained shooter. Author, trained shooter ≠ bad. Right? Right.
2. Monster’s Bad Rap: Nooooooooooooooooooo….stop, before they illustrate again!
3. The Brenda Hiatt book is, in fact, better, but it’s still far far far too busy and unreadable. Change something significant.
4. Proximity, too–far better (LOSE that fugly title font!!!), but why are we looking at this scene through a window/frame?
5. Living Dead 2.0: do we have a “Crime against the reading humanity” tag?
6. Catch Me If You Can: Whut?
7. Tabitha Tickham, et al, OR the Home Ec for Girls cover: firstly, author, who in hell ever convinced you that naming your book “Home Ec for Girls,” as a novel, was a great idea? What person in their right mind is going to see that title and think, “oh, yeah, hey, there’s a humorous MG reader for my daughter,” or whatever? I would agree that the 2nd cover is hugely improved, given that the first one looked like a bloody rock was on the cover, but still…try Tabitha Tickham and the Cake Crisis, and stick with it. Stop with the scribbling as if anybody will be able to read that in a thumbnail. God, this could be the Cutest Book Ever, but you’re scaring people off! Stop trying to explicate the entire plot on the front cover.

Whew, a lotta lotta contenders today, Nathan. (This time, brother, I used the ordered list–numbered, in other words, for those of you that no-speaka-de HTML–so, let’s see if THAT works.)
