    I am completely baffled by that UK Twilight cover. Like... I can't even wrap my mind around a major publishing company thinking that was a good idea.

    "Y'all are so horny. Can you just get a vibrator?" What an iconic line from Emma!
    There are some covers that aren't great yet I like them because they work for the book(s) + also sometimes there is nostalgia involved. And kind of the way you described some as campy. I know people don't like the original covers for the Vampire Academy series but when I bought those books last year I specifically looked for the original covers because I think it goes well for what those books are. ALSO they very much remind me of Buffy promotional photos- like, they knew the audience! Same for the original Mortal Instruments series. I got those books around the time the newer editions came out and I did not want the new covers. Part of it is just me being pretentious about wanting _original_ covers and editions. But I don't really think they're bad.

    I think this is mostly an older issue (since most books I see around now days have the uk/us covers) but swedish covers are some of the more horrendous out there. The secret history, lunar chronicles, shadow and bone trilogy are some of the worst I've ever seen. It's so strange too since the covers for the nevermoor series are beautifully illustrated. And they're all different publishers so we can't even blame one for poor taste.

    As a colorblind person, I will take those hunger game colors if they just change the font💀. Omfg those books aren't set in 1980s NYC punk scene.
