Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Alison Can Read and Parajunkee. This week's question is...
Q: Worst cover? What is the worst cover of a book you've read and loved?
Umm... this is so hard. I normally won't read it if it has a gross cover (shameful, I know). I didn't like the covers of the newer Artemis Fowl series (actually, I find them hilarious, because it reinforces the fact that I can't think of Artemis in a real-human-being manner, only in that drawn/animated form). Um... I didn't like the cover for Scars by Cheryl Rainfield. I don't know why. Beyond that, I honestly don't have any. I wouldn't say these were the "worst", because there are so many books with bad covers that I hated. I just didn't like them as much as the other covers on the rest of my personal bookshelf.
My psuedo-answers shall have to do. Please comment and link to your post! I'd love to hear your answers. :)
The new covers ruined my image for Artemis. The old covers were a bit dull but I liked them better.

I had the problem of thinking of a "worst" cover.

I agree with you, I don't really read books if the cover is horrible. Which is why choosing one was kind of hard. It's so bad of me, I know! lol

I ended up having to just choose books I reviewed this year. Truly can't remember every single book cover to choose a "worst ever" cover of a book I loved. I can't believe that there are so many bad covers. I've seen quite a few truly awful ones on this blog hop.

I actually like that the Artemis Fowl covers are so colourful. :) I agree about the Scars cover though. Not the best. New follower! :)
