I hadn't really paid much attention to the covers in this batch, but I see what you mean. The McKinty one is particularly shocking in my opinion. I really like Fesperman's Lie in the Dark, but that's about it. Even the magazines wouldn't make you stop to investigate further. col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-75331355002807579112016-02-09T03:31:53.114-08:002016-02-09T03:31:53.114-08:00You know we're all completely cool about there...You know we're all completely cool about there being no link between buying and having to read, don't you? ;-) Wow - some really bad covers there.skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-24784848204787129752016-01-27T20:21:53.891-08:002016-01-27T20:21:53.891-08:00Prashant, I think they will be full of authors and...Prashant, I think they will be full of authors and books I've missed and that sound intriguing - I must not succumb to temptation!col2910https://www.blogger.com/profile/06422138069939709043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2109031751968258131.post-1502632663880400662016-01-27T19:32:48.948-08:002016-01-27T19:32:48.948-08:00Col, I have read about Crimespree magazine, all of...Col, I have read about Crimespree magazine, all of it online.
