Big Time Stride!

Butt Racing!

People Butt Racing, need I say more? :D

In ninth place was Denim Detective, another cover that some voters thought was attractive. But many were turned off by the giant, floating butt � with a badge on it, no less. Laura thought it looked like "the cover for a gay porn DVD." Susan thought it beat some tough competition: "This was a very tough choice as always. I waffled for a long time between this one, oral sex in the car, and the fuzzy soft focus widdle bay-bee, but in the end the ghost butt in the sky won out."

AAR/Coverballot's Jennifer was similarly horrified: "It's not the ugliest cover (that would be Dad Interrupted) or the skankiest (Rumor Has It, oh my God). But The Denim Detective makes me laugh and laugh. It doesn't matter how many times I see it, the sight of that colossal male butt striding through the Rockies just cracks me up. The first time I saw it, I e-mailed my friends and family about it so they could see how hilarious it is. If that doesn't make it the Worst Cover, I don't know what does."

And I laughed out loud reading these comments from AAR's Leigh: "...the first time I saw the cover of Denim Detective I thought it was one of the lamest things I've ever seen, and that impression hasn't changed. It's a transparent ass. It's a flying ghost butt in the sky. It makes it look like this is the story of a crime-solving rear end. Watch out, evildoers - Butt with a badge! Oy. A close-up of a butt just doesn't say romance (or romantic suspense) to me. I just says this is not a book I would want anyone to ever see me reading. The others might be ugly. This one's truly embarrassing." It's also interesting to note that this cover received more worst nominations than any other (including the winner).
