Bookburger's Best & Worst Covers of 2006

Hello, friends of Beatrice...Covergirl here, Bookburger.com's resident jacket-art critic. I often like to open my posts with a joke, but right now I'm feeling all solemn and reflective as 2006 draws to a close. Yet another year spent prowling the bookstores, whipsawing between ecstasy and nausea as I check out the latest books, making hasty judgments about them based solely on their looks.

Without further ado (though god knows I do adore ado) I present you my picks for the three greatest and the three gnarliest covers of the year. I wanted to post them on Beatrice.com, but since I have to actually show all of the covers, and I didn't want to suck up all of Aunt Bea's air and real estate, you'll have to see them here....
