GMM 974: Weirdest Book Cover Challenge

today we judge books by their covers and not the content of their character let’s talk about that [Music] good mythical morning they say you can’t judge a book by its cover or can you so it’s time to play they say you can’t judge a book by it’s cover or can you the game rules are simple we’re going to show each other covers of books mm-hmm and then we’re going to guess what might be the book about what the book might be about actually right yeah and then we’re gonna then we’re gonna sort of say how right we were in the real answer there’s no points awarded but it would be pride will experience the slide satisfaction of knowing what a book is just based on the cover there will be a winner just no points yeah all right who’s going you wanna think I’m wondering one first I’m going to present to you first okay here is your book cover this is fratricide is a guess by lindsey Gutteridge giant mantis ah say a prayers human I think this is basically Honey I Shrunk the Kids except instead of kids it’s the naked man with samples what does fratricide whoa that’s like killing your that would be knowing that would be important sibling it’s like killing a sibling I believe killing your sibling would gasp notice it is the third volume in a superb trilogy trilogy yes I did notice that I also I knew that already I didn’t have to be on there this wants you to know especially the trilogy part okay I think this naked sandal dudes mom adopted little mantis that grew up to be a giant mantis and then decided to kill his older brother hmm that’s it that’s my final answer you’re assuming that the Mantis is giant and that the man is normal-sized oh yeah well I scale all things to human you’d be wrong because it’s actually the story of Matthew dilk british intelligence agent you know it doesn’t look like a brain at a quarter of an inch tall oh it is an engine to South America to track down the source of deadly poison gas but must first survive a jungle filled with ferocious praying man ty what his brother sister is a sibling killin uh I just think that somebody is using gas to kill someone and that that’s where the fratricide is coming into play I don’t I haven’t read the book I’ve only I’ve only looked at the cover and read the back oh you got to read that yeah yeah yeah so I mean do I get any pride points here I’m gonna give you I’m gonna give you a D I knew that was a mantis I’m gonna give you a D because you did know that you did properly identify the insect D D plus D plus no thank you that was a gas plane I give you one please present me a book this is the duck Shack agreement though it Muriel Jensen a Harlequin American romance no goodness gracious mm-hmm wow they look happy together yeah this her shirt Sabo Looney Tunes what in the world it does what does that even mean you tell me brother I think it’s pretty obvious what it means okay I’ve read the back Wow okay so it’s a romance novel can I see that it says a Harlequin of American romance at the top you know I am it’s a lovely illustration of a couple isn’t it and I’m assuming that those children in the front or not their children but them as children and this is following a long-term relationship these people were friendly as children and then they made an agreement now hold on those could be shrunken children I doubt that they are given the little glow around them they’re in the same post ago I was what I think I think that that is the same couple and they had an agreement they had an agreement as kids and they said if we’re not shacking up by the time we’re adults that’s where the shot comes in the man says I’m turning to ducks for companionship okay if we’re not shacking up by the time we’re adults I’m turning the Ducks a leather jacket I’m also a balloon expert I’m also a blown over let’s throw that in there he or she who’s the balloon expert he’s the balloon expert look at that mustache and she’s just supporting him with this that’s sexist I mean this is an old book this is a sexist book this is totally sexist yeah everything about this the duck Shack agreement is sexist in it because we probably dude I came up with it you know what you get with this book what free gifts from the heart oh right you’re all over the place in this one right in many different ways right this is the story of Rachel Bennett owner and operator of the booming balloon delivery service the Looney Tunes oh so you were says since the book was not I got it and Brian Tate yep the leather coated man that she loves it’s a match made in heaven well Oregon especially after Rachel and Brian drafted the duck Shack agreement is a simple arrangement between two consenting adults that’s a quote there so yeah they made the agreement as two consenting adults not his kids I don’t know what the kids are doing on the cover I don’t but you read too much into it I don’t know what the lighthouse represents or anything else what happens in the duck check agreement the shacking up in the ducks right that’s a yeah you got okay good I’ll give you a b-minus um because you were sexist okay I apologize for that I did I wasn’t being sexist I was assuming they were being sexist sorry taken link here’s your next book accept it pudding poison and pie Marsden lacy a Marsden lacy mystery by Sigrid Vaughn son just making me hungry that’s not the first time I’ve had that experience it’s my wheels out some dog food I’m like mmm smells good it’s not for me fresh poodle food mmm putting poison in pie they poison the poodle they poison penny the poodle and they poisoned her with that holly bush you know that those are poison can’t holly bush that’s what did it but the question is who did it who poisoned pennies of poo dog okay and the answer is sigrid Vansant written right there I’ll never made it too obvious if he asked me but it’s still a great read that was it I think that’s what it is secret poisoned the poodle with the holly bush end of story okay link you’re right and that there was poison involved but no yes just in the name of the title American best friends Martha and Helen live in a small English village and find themselves in the middle of a murder dream when someone puts poison in the desserts at the first annual pudding and pie bake-off it also features a Maltipoo named Amos so he’s just don’t he’s just in the book so it’s not dog food no it’s not dog food dog is not poison I would have been poison I’m gonna give you a c-minus though because you did assume that there was a murder involved but it’s pretty hard to miss that I mean it’s Christmas cuz there’s a bell back there I should have picked up on that yep did Sigrid do it I don’t believe so she wrote it correct yeah I get a point for that no see okay see you get to see how pronounced your name correctly alright show me another book our only hope by Janel samara and as you can tell this is probably just an e-book okay well we’ve got a desert setting obviously the American West we’ve got a lady with long straight black hair in wings some sort of modern-day Native American princess she has to get with this pasty white man in order to maintain the human race and they are the only hope for the human race to continue after an apocalyptic event tell me how right I am about that link hmm can you tell me anything else about the pasty white man she does I like him but he’s the only one available what else you want to know red this is the story of hope a Wingard woman on a mission to save her people ding and ding too bad she gets pregnant with her vampire boyfriends baby yes well you didn’t say vampire boyfriend but I i UAC right you almost had it oh and there’s a pesky prophecy about a blood drinker who will turn her into a demon could the prophecy be referring to her pasty white boyfriend yeah I don’t know so you got some great stuff in here man you’re leaking all over I mean yeah I think you should have gotten vampires so I can’t give you an A that seemed obvious to me i’ma get I’ll give you an A – cuz you you killed it on this one good work Hey – judging books by their cover breaking all the rules here’s one for you link a town called hope mmm the one-legged bride and the insured sheriff mail-order brides it’s just thrown in there the bottom I don’t understand what’s had his vitals this is book hat and it’s about two people Indiana wake and Belle Pfeiffer mm-hmm I don’t know if mail-order brides just come with every purchase of the book I don’t know how they they play in it’s not part of the talk it’s not part of the tale well we’ll say this what that bride lacks in life seems to be making up for in every other way what she likes him what leg Oh I like your boots gonna carry your saddle mm-hmm okay so a sheriff they tell me everything here a sheriff injures himself in fact he loses a leg that’s a big injury and then he falls for the only one legged person in the town of hope marries her but then what it turns out he ordered her over the Internet all of the townspeople are upset why are you bringing in just woman here who’s gonna steal all of our men hmm let’s hang her and hang him by the leg both of them that’s how it ends Wow the author’s name is the Indiana wake really no that’s a mess I had that’s his made-up name if I wrote down I think I mean why do you assume that the sheriff was also one-legged he was injured she’s just injured well they can’t give away or anything Harlan is the injured sheriff he meets lovely Francesca who just lost her leg in a tragic accident thankfully for Sheriff John she also just lost her husband their potential love fest is interrupted when the past comes back to haunt the town oh yes a ghost I’m gonna give you a b-minus because you knew that she had one leg you knew that he was injured thought he also had one leg yeah knew that there was some sort of love connection and that the town was called help the town I knew that bull mm and that she was a mail-order bride I thought that was kind of a sympathy b- at that point okay sympathy b- is better than proud be c-plus all right show me one son of the wind the river pages by Clyde Abbott Oh a big fan of Clyde great cover glad to see he’s still going strong well obviously a Scottish man has put his son’s head on the body of a featherweight boxer because there’s no Photoshop involved in this mm-hmm this is some sort of transplant his son of the wind was in an accident in the river when it was raging lost his head but they were able to find a featherweight boxer who was at the end of his career was willing to give up his body
