when the back of the book doesn't have a blurb but it has reviews

[shazmatazz]

“Now a original series” and then it’s the series tie-in cover… GIRL WE KNOW

[shazmatazz]

OH GOSH THE PRINTED STICKERS THAT I CANNOT TAKE OUT IRKS ME TO NO END

[janny_b]

I'm folding clothes right now with so much determination, being like YES WHY DO THEY DO THAT?

[brittanyallemanayers]

My pet peeve with book covers is when they replace the cover art with a shot from a film adaptation... I absolutely refuse to buy them. I was gifted one once and after a few months of it sitting on my bookshelf I donated it and bought a different edition of the book.

There are even specific book stickers that are easy to remove and don't leave a residue behind!!!!

I need a shirt that has a picture of a book and says "Cool award, Bro. Could have been a sticker." 😂

I think the black part of penguin books is actually preserving the art piece intact without unnecessary things so it shines on its own. If they started putting the title/authors on top of the art that could mean deciding on fonts/colours that would stand out from the image and maybe it would affect the art. I do like Penguin's style, easy to identify on the shelves and to the point with hardly any blurb, just authors/titles and art. It works for specific books like penguin classics, I'd love science fiction collection in that style with retro covers, for example (50's, 60's style and stuff like that).

I totally agree with everything you said. I also hate when a book gets turned into a movie or series and they replace the original cover. Also not exactly a “on the cover” but about the covers, when they’re made in those cheap materials and they get ruined so easily (cover that literally loose color or worst because I’m reading the book, like I know I have very warm hands, but it’s so annoying).

I remember books used to have the first few pages/first chapter of the next book or another book by the author at the end of the book and I always thought that was great marketing. It makes you want to continue reading the book so you go out and get it. That's so much better than something on the book cover mentioning that there is a sequel.

When the book cover is shorter than the actual book!

[HP-ejbo]

I would rather have "now a motion picture" on the cover, than have a specific movie tie in cover.

[ArtisticButterfly]

I don't mind the penguin classic designs... I hate book stickers but PRINTED ON THE BOOK IS SO MUCH WORSE

[whiteraven]

I know Orbit likes to have ads for other books in their books. But that's the key word. *In*. They'll include a chapter sample of some other Orbit titles that have similar vibes to the main book and that doesn't bother me nearly as much.

I love pettythereader hours so much /pos

[theshannaeilishshow]

book awards can go immediately inside book cover and/or on that first blank page just after the cover

[JamesLawner]

My copy of Clockwork Princess has an embossed “sticker” for the City of Bones movie 😐

[Jennnpai]

As a dark academia girlie, I LOVE the Penguin Classic editions because of how uniform they look, but I do understand why there are people who wouldn't like it.

[earlthesquirrel]

Same! I saw a book at Walmart with a permanent sticker that said “Walmart Original”. Ugh.

[Kaimaree]

I love the energy you’re giving in this video 😂

[arianaspencer]

When there's text or a permanent "sticker" on the cover announcing something like "the tiktok sensation, " "as seen on tiktok, " or "popular tiktok author." Like, I'm not reading it because of that. I buy it for the synopsis. I read some popular stuff, but I don't even have tiktok, it's so annoying!
