The Safety of Secrets by Delaune’ Michel

The cover of this book is what really struck me to want to read The Safety of Secrets first.  A great cover can make or break a book don’t you think? So I wanted to share with you the video I found about the making of the cover of the book.  Also please click on the book to read my review and see my grade and to get the link to Delaune’ Michel’s website page to read more about her. I would love to hear your opinions on book covers. What is a book you can remember you bought just for the cover?  Also one more day until my contest drawing for May. Come back and see the winner and find out what the new books I will be giving away for June. Thanks so much for reading.

Book Into Movie

This week’s book into movie is The Curious Case of Benjamin Button based on the book by F Scott Fitzgerald. It doesn’t come out until Christmas, but I had to post it because it looks AMAZING! Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are the stars. It is about a man who is born old and ages backwards which is a dilemma for the woman he falls in love with. Has anyone read the book? I haven’t but I will before this movie comes out!

 

Lovehampton by Sherri Rifkin

Check out the “video” preview of the book Lovehampton by Sherri Rifkin then click on the book to read my review and see what grade I gave it.  I’m just curious, do the video book trailers make you want to read the book even more? Are they helpful or just boring?  Alot of authors are now marketing their books this way.

Booking Through Thursday

 

Scenario: You’ve just bought some complicated gadget home . . . do you read the accompanying documentation? Or not?

Do you ever read manuals?

How-to books?

Self-help guides?

Anything at all?

I have never ever read a how-to guide. I always just hand it off to my husband to  figure out, lazy I know but it works! Any other husband-hander offers?  Do you feel guilty? I just can’t stand trying to figure it out if I don’t in the first five minutes. I apparantly  have a short attention span.
