Though never a big fan (I left that to Mr T) I thought his novel, Wintersmith, one of the most beautiful books I've ever read. RIP Terry Pratchett
How do you know when you have too much time on your hands?
When like me you spend way to much time giving these, '35 hilariously bad Kindle book covers', your considered opinion?
No. 7 ..... Definitely my favourite
What about you, what is yours?
Did you know that .....
#1 Penned in 1939 by Theodor Geisel (aka Dr Seuss) The Seven Lady Godivas, a tome featuring seven nudist sisters, proved a flop? Read More
#2 Britain's book collection is big enough to fill Wembley Stadium ..... 16,000 times? That families across Britain have eight million books but one in five is unread? That half of the 2,000 surveyed said they hoard books because they feel 'emotionally attached' to them? Read More
#3 Thanks to author Paul Kemp the new Star Wars novel, Lords Of The Sith, is to feature its first lesbian character. An 'imperial who has made some serious mistakes' Moff Mors is a 'capable leader who spends much of the book working hard to prevent absolute failure.' Read More

Oh! I hadn't heard that Pratchett had passed. I didn't really read his books but hubby and brother did. RIP
That cover is crazy!
:-)

I just heard about Pratchett. Such sad news. :-(
That is a scary cover! I wish I had more time on my hands to find things like that!
Ah, I do feel a bit emotionally attached to my books. haha
I haven't read anything by Pratchett, but I do want too. I saw this on a friend's facebook earlier...sad stuff.

I didn't know that about Dr. Seuss!!! That's very interesting.
I was sorry to learn about his passing this morning. Haven't read his books but have heard good stuff about them.
I am sorry to hare about the passing of Terry Pratchett.
Viewing those book covers has scarred me for life :)
Hahaha, there is seriously some competition between those covers; hard for me to choose just one! But thank God for someone has the time to dig these out for it makes so many others like me chuckle through the day :)
I've not read any Pratchett, but when I saw the news, it was Mr. T. that came to mind. I remembered seeing here what a fan he was of the author.
I'm sure it's just on my end, but I can't view any of the book covers beyond #7. At that point, it just churns trying to load them. I'm sure I'm missing out on some great covers. I can still read the captions, and it's really piqued my curiosity! (I'll try again later)
Okay...by hovering over the number at the top, I can still see a small version of the cover. However, I've concluded the blurbs on some of these books are far more disturbing than the covers!
Pratchett is on my to read author list. I really need to read a book by him. Loved that cover! Well, not in a good way. LOL Some of the covers they chose for their books...
Very sad to hear that Terry Pratchett had passed away, as I've always enjoyed his writing and sense of humor.
Have to admit that I have more than a few books that I'm emotionally attached to and will never get rid of!
Thanks for sharing such interesting articles! The book covers alone....*shudder*
Oh my. Sorry my mind was boggled by the bad covers. Though not a reader of his work, I've heard great things. RIP Terry Pratchett
