Mirror Mirror on the wall, what’s the most WTFery Book Cover Of them All?
Thanks to Tishia, we now know.

Time to announce the winner of the Are They Doing It? giveaway - who will receive a copy of Cathy Maxwell’s The Earl Claims His Wife?
Thanks to Random.org, comment #44 is the winner: AndieG - that’s you! Email me at SarahATsmartbitchestrashybooksDOTcom with your address, and you will get to ponder the stepback for yourself.
I’ll reopen the comments to the original entry because that’s just 150+ pieces of nonstop hilarity up in there.

And the winner, with 305 votes: The New Merriam Webster Dictionary, done Twilight style, by Julie:

Congratulations Julie, and hooray! .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to claim your gift certificate.
