Cover Awe: Butts

I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself by Glynnis MacNicol. A watercolor of a woman lounging on her stomach on a muted blue chaise. Her butt is out.

Welcome back to Cover Awe, where we discuss book covers we like! Cover designed by Cassandra Garruzzo Mueller Amanda: I support butts on covers. I think the softness of the painting with the blocky neon green text is a very good pairing! Elyse: Butts, butts, butts. Sarah: The first thing I heard about this book was book folks talking about the luscious and erotic cover. Boy, were they right. Lara: Oh, I love this pairing … Continue reading Cover Awe: Butts

Books on Sale: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James & More

RECOMMENDED: The Sun Down Motel by Simone St. James is $2.99! Elyse loved this one and gave it an A:

I love a good scary mystery, and The Sun Down Motel had all the elements to make it perfect. I loved the Gothic atmosphere, the theme of women coming together to get justice for other women, and the excellent momentum of the pacing. Other than possibly being too spooky for some, I can’t come up with a single reason why anyone should avoid this book.
