We have a plague of covers with unreadable tiny script font text rendered in low-resolution causing a lot of ? ?
These blurry script covers (bad font choice, pixelation, readability) are almost their own sub-genre.

When a pigeon collides with the moon, you get a lopsided moon and feathers everywhere.
A particularly like the smudges in the night sky that look like ghost Zeppelins or maybe shadowy ICBMs caught in mid-flight.

Pigeon Spanish?
I want to see that white oval as the beam of a search light on the clouds, the yellow thing as a target UFO, the feathers from a pigeon mistakenly hit by anti-aircraft fire intended for the UFO. That streak is an AA projectile that missed the UFO and is about to do collateral damage to Whereverville.
Antiposition. My mind refuses to acknowledge another oval moon on another lousy book cover. I can’t take that anymore.
I assumed that the glowy giant oval was an enormous egg, and the chicken that had laid it had exploded from the effort, showering her feathers all over the city.
That’s my interpretation of that cover, and I’m sticking with it.
A Geek An Angel? Huh???
Thoro’s moro than ono way to keep a promiso? Is this in Spanish?
And please don’t tell me that’s supposed to be the moon???
This is (at least) the second “A Geek An Angel” cover. There was another one a few weeks ago and it was equally baffling.

It’s a bird? It’s a plane? It’s a moon?
NO! It’s a giant flying glowing egg!
Oh, and the text is off-center, too. Not that it matters much.
PosRein: the title is offset to the left to counterbalance the giant egg on the right.
See? You can say something nice about a lousy book cover if you strain enough.
