Update: Having now read LOVE, I can tell you it’s as good if not BETTER than TIPS. I really loved it.

Hmm…. I was just asked why I refused to read Silenced … and I had to confess that it was because of having seen Silence of the Lambs. Sorry – just can’t get over it, and I’m surprised that somebody didn’t catch that the cover would say that to some (albeit ‘old folks’).

Just tried to see if I could borrow TIPS and I’m surprised (and maybe dismayed?) to see that only 12 libraries in Connecticut have purchased it (there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 200). I DO hope it is not because of the subject!
Now I’ve really got to read it so I can, if I think it’s good, encourage libraries to get it.

Have you read Carrie’s debut, TIPS ON HAVING A GAY (ex) BOYFRIEND? If not, do. LOVE… is the sequel.

Beastly is such a great cover!. I wish I could write a blog like this. But i am glad you are instead.

Hmmm, yeah, agree about The Silenced. I loved the idea, because the rose was supposed to be a stamp, made from a template, but it could have been… more realistically made. I mean, Marena drew the rose, and it could have been a bit more stylized… and I do question the orange color! Fortunately, it was a good story.

Laura Wiess’ book Such a pretty girl (Jan, 2007) has a single rose on the cover, it is a dried rose on black background. I really like the cover. Her second novel leftovers (2008) follows the same design w/ a dried dandelion blowing away on a blue cover. I appreciate the simplicity of each cover.

Hey, just discovered your site, and got kind of excited: I’m a graphic designer and aspiring kids book author, and I rarely find other people with that sort of combination of interests. Consider yourself bookmarked!
