Welcome back to Cover Snark!

The Earl on the Train by Kerrigan Byrne. A headless woman in a gold, off the shoulder dress is lifting her hem to reveal her leg. The background is just a pinky, peachy watercolor blob. The title is in a confusing script.

Elyse: I read this as The Earl Train

Choo-choo!

Sarah: First I saw Carl Frain, then Carl Train. I had to look for the middle arm in that E because it looks like a ribbon off her dress.

Maybe the Earl’s name is Carl?

Train also has a few meanings which makes this rather interesting to ponder.

Elyse: Now I have logistical questions

Is the Earl running the train or is he receiving the locomotive as it were

Sarah: A query I had as well!

Rose by Carrie Lomax. A blonde woman with lots of hair piled atop her head lounges on a bubblegum pink chaise. She's wearing a dress patterned with roses and there's a whole lot of skirt that she's pushed to the side to reveal her legs.

From Denise: At first, it might appear as cover awe, ethereal with the flowers and the pink, but then the skirt of the dress doesn’t make sense–it doesn’t flow the way it should. Her body is strangely contorted at the waist–I don’t think Barbie can even twist like that. But four fingers on each hand? Maybe one is hidden on her right, but her left clearly only has four.

Sarah: I was thinking this was AI but now I’m not so sure. She definitely only has 4 fingers. And I don’t know what’s going on between her knees and her hips but it isn’t good.

Claudia: The proportions are all wrong too. Like her upper body is too long/lower body too short

Sarah: I know this is the least confusing aspect of this image but I cannot get over the hair. SO MUCH HAIR.

Amanda: I think it’s just bad digital editing. But as someone with a lot of hair…my brother was married in Korea in a traditional ceremony and the hair stylist kept referring to my hair as “Bridgerton hair” when they were trying to style it.

Sarah: That’s adorable.

Amanda: This particular hairstyle on the cover, though, is giving Toddlers & Tiaras.

Alien Hope by Ursa Dax. A very tan, muscular man is facing away from us. I cannot stress how tan and muscular he is. He also has spikes coming out of the back of his hairless head and down his spine.

From Pam G: I give you. . . .

NapAlien Boneyparts and the Blast from the Ass

Bonus points if he’s conducting Holst’s The Planets.

Sarah: NapAlien Boneyparts. HA!

Why does it look like he is wearing pantyhose over his head? Also, his arms look like challah.

Property of Chux by Chelsea Camaron. It's just a heavily tattooed man in sun glasses and no shirt. But is the title also his name? Chux?

Amanda: Is Chux his Christian name?

Sarah: Ok first I have a question about his neck and that question is, “What?”

Second, how do you say that? Choo? Is this the plural of Churu, the kitty gogurt my cats are obsessed with?

Wilbur! Katie! Time for your Chux!

Also Chelsea Cameron is a bestselling sapphic romance author so SHENANIGANS upon that name.

Elyse: Chucks (not Chux) are the name of those disposable pads they put under patients in the hospital.

Susan: I thought they were shoes, so this changes some things I’ve read.
