Welcome to our new home & the Advent Announcement

Hey everyone. You might have noticed that we moved to wordpress this week. I have to admit it definitely didn’t go as we planned it to but we survived all the chaos and shock and present you the new look. (BTW you can grab our new shiny blog button in the sidebar –>)

Well we have to warn you that some things are still under construction. The review lists aren’t completely updated yet but we are working on that.

Well we also realized that google won’t support Google Friend connect for non blogger sites in the future so if you want to stay …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to a new week of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week’s topic pretty much jumped at our feet! It’s by pure chance that I saw a pretty review copy of Fool Moon on Netgalley and I knew I had to read it! I just couldn’t look away from such a pretty cover. So it was only logical that we would start talking about graphic novel covers with you today! We chose covers of series we know and loved/hated.

Susi: The Dresden cover is awesome. When I compare that to the usual old Dresden covers- let’S say it’s just wow. I have never read any of the Dresden books so I can’t say iof the guy fits the descriptions but well this cover …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Herzlich Willkommen everyone to this weeks edition of coversnark. We will venture into the deep and ugly sphere of German book covers. You will see the unbelievable today (not joking here) but we also got some nice ones in tow to soften the damage we will cause your eyes.
We advice to read on with caution- you will never be able to undo the damage. Keep in mind that no authors had a say in these covers and we should all offer our condolences for them.

Caro: I’m not really sure why the publishers still think adding bats is a good idea. Yes we get it, these are vampire books O_o Sadly none of the Brothers can turn into bats. *sigh* The covers aren’t ‘Bad’ but I’m …
