I don’t know how much you’ve heard about the lovely ensuing brouhaha of the YA world over ‘The Handbook for Mortals’ but besides scamming their way onto the NY Time bestseller list, they apparently plagiarized the cover as well from Gill de Mace (first image).  And in the process, they bent her hips, cinched her waist, and broke her shoulder too!  Five seconds of staring at the horror, I knew this blog needed to see.

I did hear about the controversy over that book and how it got onto the NY Time bestseller list (tl;dr, last I heard they apparently pre-bought a ton of books from different stores to boost the sales up?), but I didn’t know about the cover.  Wow.  And yeah those covers look really similar except they gave the girl boobsocks and fiddled with her body.

(Thanks for the update on what’s happening btw)
