Modes of transportation is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. I didn’t expect to come up with so many darker book covers from the mystery and horror genres; planes, trains and automobiles are obviously a popular setting for things going terribly wrong!
A great book quote can stick with you for a lifetime. It was fun to think back to my personal favourites, for this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. Read more
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is April Showers. I hate to be caught out in a shower without a sturdy umbrella, so this is my spin on the topic. Whether discreet or punchy, an umbrella can really add some visual interest to a book cover.
I happened to be eating an apple (a nice and juicy Jazz apple to be exact) while thinking about this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Covers/Titles with Things Found in Nature. A supermarket apple is hardly a product of nature, but hey there are wild apple trees as well!
It’s the beginning of a new year, and Bookish Goals for 2024 is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. Generally speaking I’m no longer into the New Year’s resolutions, but it was fun to pause and really think about my book-related resolutions for the year.
The Red Planet was one of the first things that popped into my head in response to this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Books Set In X. It surely must be the most-visited planet in the Solar System in fiction.
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is all about Mother Nature throwing a hissy fit: storm, flood, blizzard, wind, rain and snow.
Water is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, so my list is all about lakes, rivers, oceans and other bodies of water.
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is Books With One-Word Titles. To make it more of a fun challenge, I thought I’d come up with a selection of titles that refer to a first or last name. Curiously, my list is heavy on classics and older novels, with only one book that was published in the 21st century (and even that one is named after a character from Ancient Greek mythology). I wonder if it’s simply gone out of fashion for whatever reasons.
I decided to do a twist on this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Book Covers In the Colours of My Country’s Flag. The colours of the Australian flag are blue, red and white, which is not exactly the most original colour combo in the world. A more interesting feature of our flag is the Southern Cross constellation, so I thought I’d make a list of book covers with stars and constellations.
