     Currently reading Beverly Hills Maasai by Eric Walters. Read book 1, which was Alexandria of Africa. I'm enjoying the series because I spent quite a bit of time in Kenya just over a year back...brings me back there.

     Most recently I tend to have 4 books at once on my currently reading list, but the main read for the moment is The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faegen. And considering the subject of this book I have to wonder if the author's first name is her real name or a pseudonym? Hmm...

Every time I see the font choice I want to stab my computer screen. Papyrus is NOT your friend!!! It's a font people use when they're trying to be classy but don't know how. (Sorry for mini rant, it gets me worse than comic sans!)
The font turns me off majorly so I'll wait to see what Wendy F says. At least if I read it on Kindle I won't have to actually see the cover.

Bad design causes me near-physical pain, especially where typography's concerned... However, given the cheapness/good reviews on this occasion, I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes and bought it anyway.
 I'm going to wait for a couple more reviews to roll in. And I will probably have to close my eyes as well.
