12| Everyone Judges A Book By It's Cover

Everyone judges a book by its cover

(Warning! Sappy A/N at the end.)

::

I really like ranting about covers, don't I.

Anywayyyyy....

You know that phrase right?

'Never judge a book by it's cover.'

Lol. We all do, why lie?

See a guy with millions of tattoos and piercings?
BAD ASS CONVICT REBEL SHIT OR SOMETHING.

See a girl with blonde hair and pink clothes?
FAKE STUPID CHEERLEADER.

You getting my drift here? We all judge people by our first impressions of them, whether we like to think so or not.

Want to know something?

We do that to books too!

(Why the hell do I sound like I'm teaching nursery school kids what)

Whether it's at the library or on Wattpad, you definitely judge the whole book simply by looking at the cover. It's what catches our attention first before the blurb or anything else.

But there are many writers on here who don't fucking bother with their covers, and it annoys me so. darn. much. Because no one will ever know what genius is boiling behind that cover - because we simply cannot look beyond it.

Here's a list of cover tings (intentional) that I hate.

1. Default cover

Your book's been out there for five bloody years and you still don't have a cover? Fuck you. I don't even want to waste my time on you.

You don't put effort in your book, I don't put my effort to read it. WHAT, BITCH.

2. Titleless cover

You know, props to you for actually thinking of uploading a cover.

Wrong.

You just fucking uploaded a PICTURE. It's got no words, no title, not even your name.

Lol most of the time it's sooo irrelevant it could just be a tumblr boy and the book is about werewolves ahha

You know what? I think I prefer the fucking blurred out default cover because at least IT'S GOT A TITLE. Even though it's in those ugly white letters, at least I know what the fucking book is called?! If you don't know how to put a name, please find someone who can.

3. NOTHING FITS

I'd honestly rather the default title than this because OMFG I can't see or read anything on your cover. Half of it doesn't fit and the picture only shows half of what it's supposed omg get your measurements right do you need a tailor I can get you one ASAP.

The title looks like this:

'When Harry Styles Ate My'

ATE MY WHAT? ATE MY WHATTTTTTTTT

lol jokes, there's a title below it so I know what he ate ;)

4. THIS ONE IS THE WORST OF ALL

Okay, I'm not attacking the title or the picture.

I'm attacking the part where the author writes his name.

What gets on my nerves so. Fucking. Much. Is when it says:

Book by *insert name here*

AND THE WORST OF ALL:

Novel Written By insert name here*

Like WHAT THE HELL

WHICH ACTUAL BOOK HAVE YOU EVER SEEN STATING THE FUCKING OBVIOUS

WE KNOW THE BOOK IS 'BY' or 'WRITTEN BY' YOU

I don't know how to explain it, but it pisses me off soooooo much.

Just write your name, period.

We don't need a whole fucking introduction on the part you played lol

It's so unnecessary like seriously, just look at ALL the hard copy books you've got.

I dunno why but it annoys me more than it should

I don't know if you can feel my frustration right now with this

IT ANNOYS ME SO MUCH OMFG STFU

::

Hey!

I've cooled down a bit, I think. I'll try to stop myself from using caps in this but -

OMFG 1K READS HOW

I just woke up two days after I'd appreciate you guys for 700 reads and then - MY READS HAVE A LETTER ON THEM

You don't know how I'm unbelievably grateful for you guys, thank you soooo much for commenting and voting and reading and messaging me and everything, it means so much!

Oh, and, did I miss out any covers that annoy you? Comment below!

(I love your opinions, they make my whole week:)

The awkward moment when the A/N is so much longer than the chapter itself -_-

Lots of love.
