Just like with Cass Morris and The Aven Cycle. Though in his case he started self publishing the series, so I wonder how easy it is to make that switch.

I keep track of what I've read and how I rated it. Mostly to know what I've already read, but also just for fun.

But I'm not, though. Maybe I wasn't all that clear. At the moment there's the two fantasy series I listed who don't have paperback editions without the sticker. I've got plenty of other series on my TBR list, so I can just wait with those two until they get new editions. Or until I can comfortably afford the hardbacks.

The content's not in question, because I'm still going to read those books at some point and I've never read them.

You know what? I'll be zen about this comment and continue to not buy books that have those "stickers" on them.

That's even more disheartening.

That's at least somewhat of a relief. Got enough on my to be read list to wait out the witcher and wheel of time ones then.

Wow. They wasted money just to spite you.

That's my biggest problem with it as well. I'd be fine with an actual sticker, I can just peel that off. But they somehow found it necessary to start printing them on the cover itself.

Sure, we care about the contents far more than the covers. But having to look at an ad each time you pick up the book again to read is infuriating. On top of that, some books you love so much that you want to display them fully on your shelf. Good luck doing that with the sticker being such an eye sore.

Nobody does. Seems like a waste of money to make those beautiful covers, only to ruin them with those stickers.

Just hoping that the movie/show ones go away after enough time has passed.
