There … Continue reading Fossil Feud by Maggie North →
Welcome back to Cover Snark! From Alicia: I work in a library and I think your site has corrupted my (already corrupt) brain. I pulled this book for a customer recently and was immediately very concerned for the dog. The look on his face. Someone take that dog away from him and find it a new home! Sarah: That dog, which I think is an Australian shepherd, does look like it’s giving the side eye … Continue reading Cover Snark: We Gotta Save That Dog →
