Love the annual Lousies, but dreading Lousy Book Cover Overload in January each year? We’re switching it up! This week, we’ll have semi-finals for the first three months of the year, allowing your psyche to scar over before we periodically tear it up again. You’re welcome!
The rules: Pick your choices for the worst three covers for each month.
January:
(Can’t really call them “winners,” can you?)
Presenting the absolute worst book covers posted in 2022, brought to you by the wisdom of crowds:
A year’s worth of bad book covers has been whittled down by you, the discriminating (and longsuffering) viewer… and now, the final ballot of thirty-six covers! Which three do YOU think are the worst? Cast your votes between now and January 29th — and on January 31st, I’ll present the Top Ten Bad Covers posted in 2022!
(Displayed in random order.)
The voices of the people will not be silenced!
Here’s how it works:
On each of the next twelve days, I’ll post a ballot of one month’s worth of posted covers. You may pick UP TO THREE as the worst on each month for qualifying status. (Just to keep the number of options down, I’m limiting it to covers which received at least three comments from people other than me.) All ballots will remain open until January 15th.
On January 16th, I’ll post Round Two, bringing those covers from each ballot together in one final ballot.
And on January 31st, I’ll post the ten worst covers posted in 2022!
