Emsreviewsbooks25.10 - M1nks's task: Give Me Some Reds, Give Me Some Blues, Give Me Some... What the heck is THAT supposed to be!?
Option 2: I chose Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" and I read The Beautiful Pretender by Melanie Dickerson. I believe this title fits the painting because of the person in the bottom right corner. This person does not have the same features as the other people (who are all somewhat uniform and symmetrical, as much as Picasso could be considered symmetrical) and could be considered a 'pretender'. The figure is beautiful in its own right.
Option 4: I read Only Beloved by Mary Balogh. George, the hero, suffers from depression after the death of his son and suicide of his first wife.
