Cover Snark: What Have They Done to Jude Deveraux


Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Single Dad seeks Juliet by Max Monroe. The background is a newspaper column with a personal ad. There's a shirtless dude on the side with a paper in his hand. The title though has letters stacked in a 3d vision effect in neon yellow, blue, and purple.

Amanda: Ow my eyeballs

Tara: Even he’s looking away from it

Sarah: Individual Sarah Seeks Eye Doctor Appointment.

Those words are appearing on my lids when I close my eyes. It’s like staring at the sun.

Sneezy: I thought we were friends.

Tighthead by Charlie Novak. A buff man is taking off his shirt in front of a hot pink background with the white outline of a rugby ball.

Elyse: I’m sorry, the what??

Sarah: What.

Amanda: Did they misspell tight end?

Update: That is a rugby ball not a football and tightheads are a rugby position. The more you know!

Sarah: I’m kind of enchanted that the rugby team logo is in Dunkin Donuts colors. Are the Lincoln Knights sponsored by Dunkin?

Sneezy: The shadows almost make the cover look like it has bisexual lighting. Maybe Dunkin is bi too.

A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux. A pukey orange illustrated cover outlined with green vines and red roses. The silhouette of a woman is perched on the S in Shining and the silhouette of a man is kneeling with his arms outstretched, a flower in hand.

Sarah: I cannot stop laughing.

Amanda: This feels like a very specific shade of 1970s orange.

Sarah: It’s so funny.

A very clear case of “this may be a book you remember with fondness, but this cover is not aimed at you.”

Tara: That’s exactly what it is! It made me raise an eyebrow.

Sarah: Like a high school theatre production poster.

Sneezy: I had a questionable beverage that colour once, probably.

The Protector by Susan Stoker. A man in a white tee has his hand at his collar. His head is turned and he looks disgusted. The title is also in a pink script font that makes it hard to read.

From Kathleen: What is his face doing? The expression, is he in pain or upset? Please advise!

Sarah: The dog farted. And those things, they don’t break up or dissipate. They hang like a noxious cloud visiting each person, and the cloud just reached him. There is no escape from dog fart cloud.

Also I thought at first glance that it said “The Profecfor.”

Sneezy: Maybe there’s a smol scent spritz thing in his necklace that was supposed to fight the cloud but made it worse.
