Twerking, 'Breaking Bad' and Royal Babies: 2013 Pop Culture Book Covers

From J.K. Rowling getting unmasked as author Robert Gailbraith to Miley Cyrus' jaw-dropping twerking performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, 2013 has been quite the memorable year. You know what they say: Truth is stranger than fiction. If we hadn't lived through athletes getting catfished in the public eye, TV audiences' grief at the "Breaking Bad" series finale and the months-long obsession over the Royal Baby and Kanye and Kim's North West, we'd almost think these pop culture stories were the plots of books.

If they were, what would they look like?
