Cover Snark: Tricky Fonts Strike Again!

Welcome back to Cover Snark!

Flawless by Elsie Silver. A brunette couple are attempting to kiss in front of a barn. However, it looks more like they're just  smushing their cheeks together and dragging their mouths across one another's.

Elyse: What are these people doing?

Tara: I think he’s about to roll his mouth across hers.

Carrie: This is why you have to practice on pillows, you guys.

Sarah: If it weren’t for their hands I would swear they were photographed in two separate locations very far apart.

A Turn in the Air by A.H. Cunningham. An illustrated cover, but the illustration is cute. Everything is in shades of purple. There's a curvy Black woman with a puffy Afro hair style. She's blushing slightly and wearing a leotard. Behind her is a shirtless Black man with braids and a closely shaved beard and mustache. Both are wearing shiny earrings. However, the script text of the title is where the confusion comes from.

Sarah: I love love love the illustration, the poses of the character is and the SMOLDER on that face, MY GOSH.

But what in the name of Holy Scriptina is the title?

Twin in the aith?

A truth in the aig?

Is this like a test to reveal hidden depths of my psychology?

The words I decipher will chart the course of the rest of the year! The hot dancers have foretold. But what does it SAYYYYY?

Lara: I saw ‘tum’ in there somewhere…she looks adorable but his stare is a little…intense.

Sarah: Heckin’ smolder going on there.

Tum in the ash?

Claudia: When I finally could decipher I thought they meant on an airplane.

Sneezy: Does this illustrator do webtoons? I would read the SHIT out of webtoons they made!

I thiiiiink it might be A Turn in the Air.

A Tihn in the Aig???

The more I look at the title the less sure I am.

Love in a Sandstorm by Zoe York. The top half of the cover is just a headless, shirtless white man with huge pecs and his arms crossed. The bottom half blends into a sandstorm with the silhouette of a gunner on top of a vehicle.

From Gloriamarie: I find headless torsos, no matter how gorgeous, unnerving. I am also unnerved by the tank and assault rifle in his nether regions.

Sarah: Pew pew!

Amanda: That’s an aggressive pec.

Sarah: Likewise an aggressive pecker.

Kiki: Pokey nipple.

Sarah: Poke poke. Think it poked people on Facebook back in the day.

Elyse: You really don’t want your nips exposed in a sandstorm, I’m thinking.

Claudia: Maybe that’s why the chest seems… exfoliated?? So smooth?

Carrie: Things that do NOT make me feel sexy:

  • Sandstorms
  • War
  • Huge pectoral muscles

Someone You Loved by Robin Constantine. An illustrated couple amidst some fall foliage. However, the man and woman look exactly like  celebrities Taylor Swift and Colin Farrell.

Amanda: Is this a Taylor Swift/Colin Farrell fanfic?

Elyse: I was just about to say…

Or if you squint, David from Schitt’s Creek.

Maya: I mean, it also kinda looks like that yucky racist guy she was with.

Sarah: Someone called him a “sentient European cigarette” and I promptly expired.
