I think you have the right to judge books by their covers.
There. I said it.
Why? Because of the wonder and joy you feel when you pick up a book that catches your eye. There's something that speaks to you directly. You might decide to make it face out on your shelf, like a piece of art with a story inside.
Graphic designers like me are hired to inspire those feels!
On my channel I talk about books are shelf-worthy, inside and out, and the ones that are worth giving a second look.

    I remeber reading the Seven Waters books. I feel like there were more then 3? I know I started right in the middle of the series with the seer of sevenwaters, then discovered I'd inadvertently spoiled myself of some of the plot lines. Such is life when you're a teenager reading only what the local library has to offer!

    • @covergirlbooks
      @covergirlbooks 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You’re right! I’m just reading the initial trilogy for starters: Daughter of the Forest, Son of the Shadows, and Child of the Prophecy. I think the first three are in the same timeline with the same focal characters, and then we have different family members and their descendants in the later books. Seer of Sevenwaters is book 5! Tiny pet peeve when books don’t have their number on the spine.🤌🏻

    Hi, I’m a fan of the Russian literature and of course Tolstoy, with the War and Peace that I find fascinating. Pierre was the persone whom I was found on, so sweet, pure, and interested in his personality. I admit that I never finished the book, however I have started reading it like a 12 times and when I find myself between the battles I skip the reading. Am l missing important facts ? Anyway, I’m glad that I find you !!

    • @covergirlbooks
      @covergirlbooks 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Welcome Mitzie! Wow! You started the book 12 times! That’s quite the try! Having finished the book, I have some thoughts for you: First: there is no shame in skipping the battle scenes that appear more essay like in their content. A distinctive few of these scenes do feature the characters, and you can usually tell by the way in which it is written which kind of chapter you’re in. Second: I don’t find any problem with skipping the book and watching the mini series. I actually feel the drama was heightened, and the morals of the story were more visible in the adaptation. Read (or don’t read) in peace!

    Survive the Night sounded like it was a lot of fun! Unfortunately, I didn't find out about it until it was already in full swing. I really liked Well of Ascension, but I also like political intrigue and I think that's why a lot of people *don't* like it. Almost everyone says Hero of Ages is their favorite, but I understand if you're not enjoying the series and don't want to continue.

      what I did… • Take a break, read some popcorn books (light and fluffy, maybe even buttery) 🍿

    Which translation is best can u tell me

      Go for the Pevear and Volokhonsky! The cover design isn’t my favorite, but it’s a prize-winning translation, and it was very accessible, yet elegant :)

    Great summary. Seems like you're enjoying it so far. I'm almost halfway through Kristin Lavransdatter! Still on track to finish by the end of August.

      Wow! I feel like getting to the very middle is key, it’s all downhill from there! Although big books seem harder to hold for the last half 😂

    So much tea in Volume 2! ☕️ • Pierre won a duel • Rostov lost big at cards • Pierre joined a secret society • Denisov stole military rations • Andrei might be in love again

    How do you think Jeff did? I think it’s a second guessing game 😂 could your partner/bestie answer these questions? 😅

      @silvin_ink 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd say Jeff did pretty good 👍🏻

    📕Is there a big classic you’re reading this summer? How’s it going?

    War and Peace is on my TBR to read this year. I have the same edition as you as well as another penguin classic ed, I think it's the same translators. Love your drawing btw.

      The translators are my fave - made Anna Karenina fearless for me!
