Time for the dubious awards of Ugliest Books I read this year. It should come as no surprise that this year’s winner is:
The Art of the Deal by Donald Trump
Nothing is uglier than a picture of Donald Trump, 80s style lol. Unless maybe it’s Donald Trump 2015. The rest:
101 Things You Need to Know and Some You Don’t by Richard Horne
Boring
The Frazzled Female by Cindi Wood
OMG I’m so frazzled, I’m trying to talk on two different phones while doing the dishes and holding random toys. WOMEN
Gender Blender by Blake Nelson
I get what this cover is trying to do, but the color scheme is all wrong.
Love and Miss Communication by Elyssa Friedland
Boring AND misleading
Here’s the Situation: A Guide to Creeping on Chicks, Avoiding Grenades, and Getting in Your GTL on the Jersey Shore “by” Mike Sorrentino
Oh god, do I even have to say
Fall On Your Knees by Ann-Marie MacDonald
I actually liked this book, a family saga set in a remote seaside town. But the cover is doing nothing for me.
Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice
So much vampire iconography to choose from, and they go with this boring, terribly-colored thing
Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit
Boring
The O’Reilly Factor for Kids by Bill O’Reilly
Has Bill O’Reilly on it
Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown
Boring and bad color scheme
The Atlas of Languages
Boring
Things I Have to Tell you: Poems and Writing by Teenage Girls ed. Betsy Franco
This cover doesn’t stand out at all. Even if it was color instead of black and white it would be more appealing.
Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed
Boring
Uncommon Arrangements: Seven Portraits of Married Life in London Literary Circles 1910-1939
So boring
Previously: 2015 The Bad, 2014 The Ugly
Next: Bonus Post: 2015 The Pretty
Oh god how did I forget that there’s an O’Reilly Factor FOR KIDS
1. You don’t like The Situation’s abs??
2. How was the Rebecca Solnit book? I am on the hunt for more of her writing.
