CaptionThatCover:Turkey!

by SB Sarah Monday, November 17, 2008 at 01:18 AM

It’s soon to Turkey Day here in the United States of Carbs, and we’re happy to inspire your appetite, or perhaps drive it deep into the earth to hide until Groundhog’s Day, by allowing you to view and caption the following cover. What are they saying? What are they thinking? Dear GOD won’t someone think of the children? The blank eyed, oddly staring creepy children?

Best caption as chosen by me gets a $20 gift certificate to Amazon or Powell’s, your choice. Feel free to nudge my voting by telling me which in the comments is your fave.

And now… the cover. Feast (hur) your eyes on this!

Ok,EnoughTeasing

Enough teasing. We’re ridiculously amused by our cover, and it’s about time we showed it to you, so, you ready?

It’s a work of art, a book cover… well, really it’s visual game we call Find the Hidden Phalli with your hosts, Sarah, Candy, and Touchstone/Fireside.

The cover of the Smart Bitch Book, Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches’ Guide to Romance, due out 14 April 2009, isn’t at Amazon yet (sorry folks) so this (and our email inbox) is the only place you can find it, and a few other hidden images.

From Karen D come some fine, fine specimens of old-skool Silhouette cover art. We give thanks to Karen, and to the used book store romance pile from which she rescued these cultural icons.

The presses, they may be small, but the WTFery perpetrated by the following covers is as mighty as it is wide. Fear them.

TrampStamp:theRoundUp

by SB Sarah Wednesday, October 15, 2008 at 01:11 AM

Ever ask yourself, “Self, are there nothing but tramp stamps, butt cleavage, and muffin top on display in the urban fantasy genre?”

Here’s your answer: the SciFi Guy has rounded them all up for a video illustrating the necessary elements to a true urban fantasy cover.

Can I just say, though, that tramp stamp and low-slung jeans aside, I actually like the naked back covers for a lot of the recent releases, including those for historical romances? A woman’s back never gets enough attention but it’s a beautifully sexy thing.
