Cover Art Weekend






This is a brand new meme to display all those beautiful, funny, crazy and even those that make you think book covers you come across each week. I don't know about the rest of you, but I love looking at different book covers.










For this weekend's Cover Art I'm featuring books whose covers as well as descriptions have caught my attention recently.








A Life in Stitches: Knitting My Way through Love, Loss, and Laughter by Rachael Herron

In these 20 heartfelt essays, Rachael Herron celebrated romance novelist by day, 911 dispatcher by night, and founder of the hugely popular blog Yarnagogo.com shows how when life unravels there's always a way to knit it back together again, many times into something even better.










Before Ever After by Samantha Sotto


Three years after her husband Max's death, Shelley feels no more adjusted to being a widow than she did that first terrible day. That is, until the doorbell rings. Standing on her front step is a young man who looks so much like Max-same smile, same eyes, same age, same adorable bump in his nose-he could be Max's long-lost relation.









Duty Free by Moni Mohsin

Jane Austen's Emma, transported to the outrageous social melee of 21st-century Lahore.









Those Across the River by Christopher Buehlman


Failed academic Frank Nichols and his wife, Eudora, have arrived in the sleepy Georgia town of Whitbrow, where Frank hopes to write a history of his family's old estate-the Savoyard Plantation- and the horrors that occurred there.









Among the Wonderful by Stacy Carlson


In 1842 Phineas T. Barnum is a young man, freshly arrived in New York and still unknown to the world. With uncanny confidence and impeccable timing, he transforms a dusty natural history museum into a great ark for public imagination. Barnum's museum, with its human wonders and extraordinary live animal menagerie, rises to become not only the nation's most popular attraction, but also a catalyst that ushers America out of a culture of glassed-in exhibits and into the modern age of entertainment.







Have you stumbled upon any nice book covers lately?

I'll be back on Monday with my review of A Question of Belief by Donna Leon. Tuesday I'll review The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer. On Wednesday I have more Lake George photos to share.

Enjoy your weekend!
