"Don't judge a book by its cover." is a bad idiom, because bookcovers are desinged to represent the content of the book.

Although, I’ll never buy a book where the author’s name is in bigger, bolder font than the title of the book.

I hate that trend in cover design and I refuse to support it.

Is this still a thing? I thought this was mostly popular in the 90s and dropped out of popularity in the last couple decades.

Definitely still see it for Stephen King at least, but frankly I’d be creeped out if I saw his name small at this point…

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  • All posts must be showerthoughts
  • The entire showerthought must be in the title
  • Posts must be original/unique
  • Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
