Spring into The Future D.C Stop with Tahereh Mafi, Anna Carey and Veronica Rossi

April 18, 2012      3 Comments

Jess and I were super excited to see the Spring Into The Future Tour come through our area. We had read/listened to these books and had no idea we’d ever get the chance to meet the authors. There were so many book bloggers in attendance and we even had the chance to briefly say hi to Sash of Sash and Em

Like idiots, we thought the event started at 12:30 when it really started at 3:30 so, we were 4 hours early! We’d already driven 1 hour and a half to get to the store, so we walked to the waterfront, ate some seafood, and browsed a nearby bookstore.

Once we arrived at the store, it got packed pretty quickly. We were lucky to get front row seats. As the event began the authors sipped on tea and let us in on all the inside of writing, publishing, and their inspirations. They all had great chemistry and I felt like I could listen to them for hours. It was a great signing. Here are some highlights:

If These Books Were Judged by Their Covers : Who Wore It Best ?

January 13, 2012      6 Comments

Cover art gives our favorite books a unique identity, but when different publishers find the same image–readers get a little deja vu. So, who do you think wore it best? The paranormal or the contemporary?

Paranormal

Contemporary

It’s interesting how the paranormal covers add light effects to give the model a more ethereal and powerful feel, while the contemporary keeps it simple and clean.

I like them all, but I like Wander Dust the best. I think the text and the lighting effects fit together nicely. Who do you think wore it best?
