Fantasy Book Covers

A choice find on cracked.com.

Worst Fantasy Covers of All Time

I'm vaguely disturbed that Tamora Pierce has two covers here. I'm also surprised how many of the books have 5 star reviews on Amazon. I guess there's truth in the old saying after all.

My absolute favourite (although I think it's the title rather than the cover that got me in)....



UPDATE. There's more!! Found two more links here and here.

And here's my favourite. Just imagine the author's face when the publisher pulled this beauty out of the briefcase....

Dull News & Spam



That Facebook thing,
That Facebook thing,
I do not like that Facebook thing.

Would you like to be my friend?
And cyber hook-up, without end?
My numbers are quite good, it's true,
But they'd be better still, with you.

I would not like to be your friend,
Or cyber hook-up without end,
But kindness puts me at my best,
And I'll click "yes" to your request.

Would you like to say hello?
And watch our scanty friendship grow?
I'm at my keyboard all the time,
Just log right in and up I'll chime.

I do not wish to say hello,
And wish you would not poke me so,
I have you as a friend it's true,
But I don't quite remember you.

Would you like this on your wall?
It's cute and kitch and does enthrall,
It's kittens, cars and men so fat,
I'm sure you would laugh hard at that!

I would not like it on my wall,
Your sense of humour, does appall,
I took you as a friend, it's true,
But put some space `tween me and you.

Status updates! Surely now,
You'd love to hear (upon the hour),
About the food I ate for tea,
Or what I watch on our TV?

I would not love to hear your news,
Or listen to your wretched views.
I wonder, though it might sound drear,
What life you have when you're not here?

I mix up "their" and "there" and "they're",
I can not spell, but I don't cair.
I end each sentence with a "lol",
Just so's you know I'm being droll (lol).

That's it! I will not take it so,
I've had enough, you have to go,
You'll see your numbers drop by one,
But you won't care it's me who's gone.

With just one click I say goodbye!
I cut you loose and breathe a sigh,
But then, in horror, I do see,
ANOTHER friend is poking me!

Move Over, Byron!

A little while ago, I subjected you all to a dose of my poetry, namely my entry in the Mentors, Muses and Monsters contest.

A rival I doth spy, with my little eye

It turns out I was one of the finalists, so please check out all the winning entries as they're posted over the next week!
