Kistal Gordon The original Mortal Instruments series covers? Ugh. Horrible. Even the Infernal Devices ones. The newer ones are still much better than the original. The original just look like they were made by a kid who had just started using Photoshop.

One of my books had a sticker on it saying 50 shades of tutor. Yes it was set in the tutor era but it was nothing like 50 shades of grey. I couldn't read it anywhere except my room as I felt really self conscious (I was 16 at the time) cause I didn't want to explain that i wasn't reading something like 50 shades of grey at all.

I picked up this highly reviewed book from the library to find that it had a horribly cheesy romance novel cover. I actually redrew a cover of my own and taped it to the front while it was in my possession. I left my cover on when I returned to see if the library would keep it on. To my surprise, I checked up on it a few weeks later to see my cover still there with a note that said "thank you for fixing that terrible atrocity". I kinda want to do that again :)

This isn't a YA book, but I think it's so hilarious in title and cover. The full title on Amazon is Someone to Cuttle (Gay Cuttlefish Shapeshifter Erotica). Hahahahaha 😂😂 And the cover is just a shirtless dude and a cuttlefish. Like, if you ever want to be entertained for hours just browse through shapeshifter erotica titles on Amazon. Because the covers are always ridiculous and the titles are full of puns. My friends and I have killed so much time doing this.

***** The old UK PJO covers used a combo of cheap Photoshop and bad CG images that made the covers look very unappealing and very ugly, and even the Kane Chronicles UK covers look just as bad too and even the Heroes of Olympus covers (except for Blood of Olympus, that cover was not so bad). Nowadays, with Magnus Chase, Trials of Apollo and the new PJO covers, the covers don't look so bad. If you want to see for yourself, go check on Google.

One of my least favorite things when it comes to YA book covers is when they use actual models to represent the characters.

I love videos like this! I hate covers with models who are obviously 10+ years older than the character they represent, who are not the right ethnicity, or are not wearing clothes the character would wear, or the setting is totally wrong.

I got a copy of Unspoken from my public library a couple years ago, and I think it was an improvement on the one you had to suffer. It was a silhouette of the girl (if I remember correctly) and just a single color so much easier on the eyes.

The original Throne of Glass cover with the model! Ugh god, I would have never picked it up had it not been for the cover change. One of the few cover changes I'm ok with.

Hey Regan! I have a book recommendation for you (the book has a beautiful cover don't worry :D). The Queen of Blood by Sara Beth Durst is an incredible high fantasy novel that I think you'd love: it has a cool magic system, a matriarchal society, and a LOT of female friendships. Highly recommend!

Loved the old Pendragon covers, a nice window into what the protagonist looks like and how he grew through the series and it help me picture him and how like time worked and everything.... New covers? Random objects from each book in a different colour... Same kind of goes to the Gone series, but in the reverse. I mean i enjoyed seeing the characters on the original, but the new ones, which are just scenes from the book, give it a lot of charm and mystery.

The Lux cover change is a tragedy. Thankfully, they re-released the final book with a cover more like the originals, which was nice. Also, YES to the Maximum Ride covers. That series has had at least 3 cover changes, all terrible. The original 3 covers were great. Once book 4 came out, it was downhill.

I admit covers can be bad, but I'd never let that stop me from reading a good book. I tend to cover books anyway because I do not like for people to know what I am reading. If the cover is good I might uncover briefly for inspiration as I read, but generally, the book is covered. I let the writing stand alone. Thanks for your review.

I work in a book store, and something I really hate at the moment is this trend of having solid matte colour on the outside of the pages. It's looks nice if it's gold, like on some of the hardback classics you can get, but they make these books now where the cover is completely red, and then the outside of the pages are completely red too and you have this book that is just red all over (no pun intended) and it looks absolutely hideous.
