Links: More Bingo, Cool Dogs, & More

Workspace with computer, journal, books, coffee, and glasses.

Welcome back to Wednesday Links! For those in the States, have a safe and relaxing holiday weekend! I will personally be doing nothing, which is just how I like it. Final Fantasy XIV just dropped a new expansion and Power Wash Simulator has a new DLC, so I’ll be going full goblin mode to game.

Cover Awe: Romantic Pink Shades, Comic Styles, & More

The Phoenix Bride by Natasha Siegel. A soft peach cover with a blue, multi-storied house in the center. The borders contain illustrations of flowers in pink and yellow and blue leaves. There are silhouettes of a man and woman on each side of the house.

Welcome back to Cover Awe! This is where we discuss coves that we like or think are interesting. Cover design by Andrew Davis Sarah: I think this cover is so cute. The color scheme really works for me. I know from Lara’s review that the vibes of the cover do not match the story, but I still love the artwork. Amanda: It’s a very romantic color palette. Sneezy: I agree! I really enjoy this illustrative … Continue reading Cover Awe: Romantic Pink Shades, Comic Styles, & More
