Welcome back to Cover Awe! Let’s discuss interesting covers, shall we?

The first time I make pumpkin bread? Check! Decor and accessories? Oh, yeeeaaaah.

RECOMMENDED: Hang the Moon by Alexandria Bellefleur is $1.99! Thanks to everyone know about this deal! Tara read this one and gave it an A-:
This book is important for women like me, showing that we can absolutely have our HEA with a man and still proudly claim our queerness. Plus, it’s such a joyful celebration of love that it’s like a warm hug. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will read it again.

Thanks to Ellen, Kate K, Leslee, and Sue for today’s questions! … Music: purple-planet.com

It’s time for Wednesday Links! It’s a very tiring week for me. No particular reason; just tired! At the very least, the heat is breaking here in New England and I’ve getting invigorated for fall. On a more somber note, lots of places in the US are either on fire or underwater, on top of *gestures to everything els*. I hope you all and your families are staying safe and being well. … I love … Continue reading Links: Adventure Romance, Cover Design, & More →
