Christine (clarkepopunta) | 263 comments July Judge a Book: SUPERFICIAL

July 1, 2017 - July 31, 2017

Completed: 3.5/6

1. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
Could've been better: 3 stars ~ Cool design and art credits given, but superficial storyline. (7/4/17)
2. Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez
Boobies on the outside: Sultry on the Inside: 5 stars so far ~ This book has been extremely slow going for me, not because I don't like it, but because I dip into it every now and then for a relaxing, luxuriant vacation from my current read. So I just had to let you know that boobies on cover = fantastic distraction. (7/31/17)
3. The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
Like eating Multiplication Cakes: 5 stars ~ A bright blue cover and sketchy, humorous illustrations only multiply the wordful, pure experience of this novel. (7/6/17)
4. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer
Bold cover = not misleading: 4 stars ~ I loved this sad, sad book even with its distracting editorial choices. (7/31/17)

Saved for Next Month:
POSSIBLE: Boogers Are My Beat More Lies, But Some Actual Journalism! by Dave Barry
POSSIBLE: Don't Be a Jerk And Other Practical Advice from Dogen, Japan's Greatest Zen Master by Brad Warner

Did ever see a bookcover and say I've got to read that book and really have no idea what it is about?

For this challenge choose a book that caught your eye because it was pretty, weird or just plain interesting.

Shallow read 1-2 books
