I think at this point I need to start documenting how far I have got on my lists to do before I leave Friday afternoon. Coffee Cup and I have made lists (large post it notes stuck to the kitchen counter of lists to pack, to do, and to buy….
Lets see….
Suitcase packed: 2%
Malaria Prescription picked up: 0%
To do list before I go: 45%
I will get there… I work well under pressure 🙂
So… today briefly I want to talk about book covers – I just love them! I f I could figure out a way to use the covers as framed prints in my reading room without destroying the books, I would. I think that would be fun to have them all hanging up – my favorite covers.
As I blog hopped the other day I found a new (to me anyway) blog called Jacket Whys. I somehow linked to this blog by finding the post on the Best Jacket Covers of 2008. I loved the one they featured called Triskellion. I had not heard of this book but I wont forget it now because of that cover! If you have a minute click on over to Jacket Whys and see this blog.
Have you seen this one for Wild Things? (yeah – it is fur covered…. I dont think I like this one…. )
How about this one for Shadowlands: The Immortal?
When you think covers… what one comes to mind for you as a great cover?



You could certainly scan your covers and then have them printed in colour so you could frame them. (And sometimes if you’re lucky, there are high quality scans online.)
I love the US Harry Potter covers as well as the UK adult HP covers. I bought the book Evermore because I just couldn’t resist it’s pretty cover (which is similar to the Shadowland cover above). And I actually think the Twilight covers are very striking.
Good luck with the to-do lists! Packing is hard.
Jody I love that idea – I may look into that when I have some time. 🙂
