After reading Adam’s latest post, I just had to get in on the book-judging action, with my own little twist. Now, I know that the age-old adage is to not do what I’m about to do, but let’s face it. So many of us do judge a book by its cover, especially when choosing what to pick up next, and, as it turns out, publishers have made it increasingly easy to guess what you might get out of a book just from the cover (at least in terms of the genre). New romance books love slapping on that bright, vibrant-colored illustration style onto their covers, and it’s easy to spot a historical fiction book from a mile away (if there’s a woman facing away and an easily recognizable landmark in the background, you know exactly what you’re holding). But playing a game of “Generic Book Cover” isn’t very fun, so, while we will be breaking one of the oldest rules in existence, we will be doing it in a rather unconventional, non-generic way. And by unconventional and non-generic, I mean a pop quiz! Trust me, it will be more fun than it sounds because you will be the ones judging the covers here. After extensive research (aka, a deep dive through our catalog), I’ve gathered what I can subjectively say are some rather genre-nonconforming book covers, and it will be up to you to guess what genre they really belong to. So, get your thinking caps on. Are you ready? Let’s go!
