But I thought about it for a bit (in the dark of course) and in response I have one request for this week’s gift guide: Please name a book that makes a … Continue reading Holiday Gift Guide: Gifting Books and Linking Indies

Help A Bitch Out - SOLVED!

HaBO: The Earth Envelopes Her to Heal Her

This HaBO comes from Anonymous, who wants to find this romance: I’m trying to find a fantasy romance book.

Cover Awe: Kissing on a Stack of Pancakes

Till There Was You by Lindsay Hameroff. An illustrated cover of a couple kissing on top of a stack of pancakes smothered in syrup and topped with blueberries. She is wearing jeans, brown boots, and a pink salmon colored sweater. Her hair is half in a bun and half down. He is wearing jeans, blue sneakers, a brown sweater, and a white backwards baseball cap. The sky blends from purple to pink to orange to yellow and the shape of a city lingers in the background.

This crop of covers just fills me with joy! Cover design by Rita Frangie Batour Sarah: The “Wearing a big giant dress on the cover” trend is very old and established but I LOVE the use of texture to resemble embroidery here Kiki: Harper’s always got the gowns! Claudia: She sure does!! A recent one had a gorgeous emerald green one!! Amanda: We’re still unpacking at the house, but this just makes me want to … Continue reading Cover Awe: Kissing on a Stack of Pancakes
