What Happened to Your Face?!
A tribute to a type of cover, originally deemed Girls with Fucked Up Faces, that never fails to grab my attention. Not all of these are books I’ve enjoyed or endorse or even read, it’s just all about the covers.

These always alwayyys get my attention too. I am familiar with all of this list 🤭🤭🤭 I love it
I'm also suggest Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson, Hazelthorn by C.G Drews, and Walking Practice by Dolki Min.
Thank you! I’ll add those
You can add Pride and prejudice and zombies 😬 just a suggestion
Love this list btw 😍😍
Also thank you 🥰
How did I miss that one? 🤦♀️
I saw someone's post on Instagram and thought wait a minute, this should go in this list 😂
Yes!!
And a dowry of blood?!?!
That’s a good thought but I don’t think it counts for me because I interpret that as a portrait that has a slash of blood across it rather than as something that actually happened to that character’s face, you know?
Ha, I get you!! This list is so thoughtful ☺️
I try! I had a very specific vision so I’m always open to suggestions but I wanna keep the vision!
ooo this is so creative, loveeee

Yes 🤭🤭 I was taking a peek at those this morning!
