A book chosen only because of the cover design

Penny (Literary Hoarders) (pennyliteraryhoarders) | 19 comments I've been looking through my Pinterest page with all the beautiful book covers. So hard to choose one for this square! So many beautiful covers!
I might go with The Orchard of Lost Souls

I'm going to pick this one when I go through my shelves at the end of the year - I'm planning to reorganize my shelves, make sure all my new books are stamped (From the Library of Jessica Plumley, with a picture of Belle reading!), and make a giant spreadsheet of what I own - so I don't have to keep calling my boyfriend from the thrift store so he can check if I already had something. (I had him take a picture of all my Little House books and send it to me the other day because I wasn't sure which ones I already had!)

There are some great apps for keeping track of your books. I use Book Crawler. It took a long time to scan or enter all my books, but it is a lifesaver when I go shopping. I can check to see if I already have a book that catches my eye.

I also have a majority of my books in boxes so I was able to add a field for location. Now when I want to find something I can look it up and see that it is in box 4 instead of looking through each one...

Kristopher Underwood (mrcoachu) There is something about the cover for A Gentleman in Moscow that is aesthetically pleasing to me. Maud's Line would work for me too.

I have almost bought that book several times because of the cover! Good pick.


message 8: by Kristi (new)

Kristi (kristilarson) I think I'll read Improbable Fortunes A Novel by Jeffrey Price for this square. I was immediately drawn to the cover.


Barbara (The Bibliophage) (barbarathebibliophage) I'm going for The Night Circus for this one!

I read that this year (for the first time) and completely fell in love. I hope you enjoy!

Alexis (kheleyr) I read Pretty Deadly, Vol. 2 The Bear by Kelly Sue DeConnick . I love, love, love this series. The colors and art are stunning!

Laura | 33 comments Well, I changed my mind. I am saving Slasher Girls and Monster Boys for horror and instead have read Everything I Need To Know I Learned From a Little Golden Book. I saw it and had to have it. The illustrations are so sweet!

Soscha This cover is gorgeous, as suits the subject matter. Dark Girls by Bill Duke

Brooke I was going to use The Mothers by Brit Bennett for #3, a book by a person of color. But I actually bought this book because of its stunning cover, so I decided to move it to this prompt. Look at how gorgeous it is!

The Mothers by Brit Bennett
