Can you judge a book by its cover? I enjoyed this chance to consider the difference a cover can make.
Kathy, I’m in awe of the discipline it takes to write a new piece every week. I’m glad that you are giving yourself a break now and then, and it’s been fun to hear posts by guests. I just finished Margaret Renkl’s life-changing new book, The Comfort of Crows, and would enjoy writing about it for your readers. My email address is dianejoycharney@gmail.com.
Yes, it makes an enormous difference, doesn't it? I was especially impressed how the US version had what I think is a bighorn sheep on it--not an animal native to Australia.
I agree about Hamnet; I thought it was brilliant! Am reading Let Us Descend by Jesmyn Ward; so far it’s about a forced walk of male and female slaves sold from a plantation, having been separated from a mother or child. I do hope there is some light soon. BUt her writing is wonderful as I’ve read her other two book. Happy Thanksgiving Kathy!
Hi Kathy...I’m reading and enjoying The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell. Her descriptions are vivid; i can almost see the paints the young woman is using and feel the pinprick of her needle. I loved Hamnet as well. I look forward to visiting writers! Happy Thanksgiving!

Glad you're enjoying The Marriage Portrait! I thought Hamnet was the better of the two, but I liked them both.
