Cover Friday: Up the Down Volcano
I kind of love it when publishers are consistent with the book design in their authors’ canon. Sure, Sloane Crosley‘s books have had some design variations, but they all orbit around a central theme: same font face, abstractly representative of what’s happening in the story, and always a little tongue-in-cheek. Up The Down Volcano is her […]
Cover Friday (on Saturday): Room by Emma Donoghue
I am overwhelmed by this book… in a very, very good way. Cover design by Fearn Cutler de Vicq who, 1) has quite possibly the coolest name ever and 2) she and her husband (designer Roberto de Vicq) run a design firm with a website that states “graphic design will save you!” Three cheers for that!

Cover Friday: The Fault in Our Stars

I’ve been devouring books lately, finishing two over the weekend and already 67 pages into this one after beginning it last night! I think […]
Cover Friday: Picador Anniversary Editions

Everything in my room has a pinkish glow in the morning, due to some outrageously bright hot pink curtains I’ve put up. And to think, I really was never a “pink” person. Here is (most of) my Christmas Literary Loot: At A Crossroads: Between a Rock and My Parents’ Place by Kate T. Williamson (which […]
Cover Fridays: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
A Friday night in, finishing projects, organizing life, watching The Social Network, and reading. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend that will hopefully bring renewed motivation and energy.
Cover Fridays: Christmas Memories
It is a standing family tradition to decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. We forgo the Black Friday masses, light pine scented candles, warm up some leftovers, and take to covering every last inch of the house with all things holly and jolly. Our Christmas Memories book sits beneath the coffee table, and we […]
