Blog Hop Friday


It is Friday!! And time for another HOP! Visit Crazy-For-Books and link up your response to the question, then blog about it on your site, then visit some phenomenal bloggers!

This week's question comes from Sarah who blogs at Writer, Reader, Dreamer:

"What is your favorite book cover?"




One of my favorite book covers is Oh!: A mystery of 'mono no aware' by Todd Shimoda. I really do not think the beauty of this book can be translated to the eye without holding it in your hands. The inside is equally as beautiful with high quality paper and lovely illustrations by the author's wife.


I reviewed this book here (the cover looks more the way it looks in real life on my review page).








Another book cover that I love is What I Loved by Suri Hustvedt. It reminds me of a Dali painting that I also find enchanting.
I reviewed this book here. It was one of my favorites this year.
I am trying desperately to get everything I have read over the last few months reviewed.
Please hop around and see how I am coming along! And I plan to visit as many people on the list because it has been a while since I have participated.

Donna, I'm so glad I took the time to read your review, the book sounds fabulous!

Happy to have met you via the Book Blogger Hop!

Like you, I'm frantic about the books I've yet to read and review and time in 2010 is running out, yipes!
