      Thanks for your comment (Hope to write more about Mercer) ❤️ I came across Ice Planet Barbarians recently while at Walmart. I have to wonder if they know what it's about. Since it was right next to some religious novel. Chilly and rainy here. We need it, but so unexpected this week. But then again, a lot of things have been unexpected.

    I love this twist to the topic. These taglines are great. "She looked like a wistful child and she loved to play games-- such as murder, men and marijuana." That has me LOL!

    The tagline for Baby Doll Murders made me laugh.

    These are some great taglines! I love the older covers, the art style and taglines have a certain feel that just doesn't happen now.

    OOoh nice!! I'd have to really pull the books on the shelf to find ones like these! Contagion was a good one! The rest are new to me but I am enjoying the tags!


    Here's my Tuesday Post

    Have a GREAT day!

    All of my earliest book purchases, though Scholastic Books, had these. I just never knew they had a name. Love these, and I love the idea you had for sharing them with us.

    I'll have to give Radio Silence a read again. I've been loving the Heartstopper series by Alice Oseman and I read Radio Silence a long time ago but I don't think I appreciated it enough lol.

    The first two are amusing. I haven't seen taglines on book covers much lately but I really like them, they say more about the book than the title sometimes.

    Have a lovely day.

    We love a good tagline! It's a great way to draw us into the story or tease us over what's too come. :) Thanks a bunch for visiting Finding Wonderland this week, Greg.

    These are some great taglines! I think my favorite is "Help is light years way." I need to read CONTAGION. Sounds like my kind of book.

    Happy TTT!

  28. Marianne May 25, 2022 at 3:19 AM

    Good idea with the taglines. I might copy that one day.
    Some brilliant lines among them, as well. The first one is already fantastic: "Beneath her mask of beauty lay a web of violent death".

    Thanks for visiting my TTT this week which is about lighthouses.

    "Help is eight years away" - that wouldn't comfort me much

    Oh this was a great take for this week's topic! I have to say that tagline for Run If You Can really cracks me up. Contagion sounds interesting, though!

    I love taglines, and when I read "She was so lovely... but so bad!" I had a good laugh and thought it was perfect for such a vintage book! Thanks for sharing these with us, Greg :)

    Love your take on this one! The pulps are my favorite of course. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the cover and tagline for Run If You Can was decided. Surely they had to know it was over the top ridiculous!
