Thoughtful Thursday: Rename this horrible cover

Posted by FanLit | Giveaway!, Thoughtful Thursday | 18 comments |

Aldiss Hothouse Time for another “Rename This Horrible Cover” contest!

Actually, this cover isn’t that bad, but we do feel like the book needs a better title — one that fits the cover art better.

Can you suggest one?

The creator of the title we like best wins a book from our stacks.

Got a suggestion for a horrible cover that needs renaming? Please send it to Kat.

I have to disagree with the post – that really is a horrible cover! And that gold thing above the crotch is disturbingly suggestive, lol.

  I was going to say, “Well, it isn’t the WORST cover,” but I went and looked at it again… and now I don’t know if that’s true.

  I had to run that one through Google Translate! Excellent idea, though!

Are winners randomly selected? Because it says in the post the title you like best will be chosen… Just curious.
