Liar cover changed for paperback edition

[unusualmusic_lj_archive]

New Liar Cover I am still pissed. That hair is not nappy and the girl is lighter skinned than in the book, but...at least she is actually fucking black now? Fuck this shit to hell. I am tired of saying "at least".





Anyway, go buy the book please. Its supposed to be a good read, and we need to prove their fucked up perceptions wrong so that we can force them to actually get it right sometime in the future.

you know something. I went natural a couple of years ago. Cut my hair off was wearing it in a TWA for 3 years. Then I got bored and started growing it. And. I have never seen on a book cover, in all my years of searching, someone who looked like me. TWA. Brownskinned like your icon I think. Of course, darkskinned like other family members don't make the cut with long processed hair, much less nappy like mine. And I am SICK. Of the only time we see people like that itas exotic models. To add spice. As if we dont exist ion real life. Ordinary. Beautiful. And when our stories are told, fucking worthy of being on our own goddamned covers!!!
