rant: Stop putting movie images as the book covers!

reddit: the front page of the internet 2019-10-21

Seriously! I hate it, it takes so much of the imagination out of it for me. I can't say I LOVE Amy Adams, so my reading of Sharp Objects was seriously hindered by imagining her as the main character nonstop. Why put real photographs of people on book covers anyway!

I honestly think the state of book covers is atrocious. Half the time they all look like the same Photoshop *drivel, and the other half they're just famous actors from their adaptations.

Edit: Not to mention usually the actors are drop dead gorgeous. God forbid me imagine imperfect characters.

Edit edit: Thank you for the silver and gold, fellow redditors! I had no idea this would blow up, but it's nice to know others share my opinion.
