Guys. We are going on a trip―a trip we have been planning for years. And it is finally happening next week! We're going to visit my parents in France, and we are taking the whole gang. Or rather, all three kids but not the dog. Who I am desperately sad about leaving and really hope he doesn't think we've up and given him to another family and proceed to forget all about us. It's just two weeks. But we've never left him that long before, and I am obviously emotional about it. Have I posted pics of Sodapop here before? I'm not sure that I ever have. Here he is on the day we got him:
And here he is now in his natural habitat, which is to say in my library on laundry day:
Ahem.
The actual point of this post is to get your reading recs for the trip! I'm completely torn over which physical books to take with me. Yes, I realize most of my reading will be done on my Kindle by necessity, but I always have to have some physical copies with me. For both safety and I…

I showed this to my Mom she was so excited about it!
ReplyDeleteThat cover is lovely! I really should start reading Sarah Addison Allen soon.

ReplyDeleteChachic, you really should. I adore them.
Preeti, ahhh. There you go. Now updated with sparkly peaches! ;)
I will love any cover with sparkles on it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous cover...except for the sparkles. I think its simplicity is beautiful enough without the sparkles.

Oohhh! Seeing a cover makes it feel like that much closer to being published! 5 months of anticipation coming up!
ReplyDeleteI love this author and am happy to hear she has another in the works. Is this one the sequel to GARDEN SPELLS? I couldn't find a synopsis anywhere...
ReplyDeleteI still have to read something of this author, but her covers are always gorgeous! This one is no exception, despite some differences!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Her writing is so magical.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I was just wondering the other day when she'd be putting out another novel! Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks lovely! I just started reading SAA this year, and I love her stuff! So glad she's got another one coming out!
ReplyDeleteSo what did you think of the final cover?
