Judge a Book By Its CoverI'll do a shallow read — just one book. This may be the most beautiful cover I've ever seen. In a nice coincidence, I was given it as a Christmas gift (recommended by the bookseller) just a week or so after adding it to my TBR.

I'm going to lame out here and not finish my... ahem... **one** book. If it were on Kindle I would have, but I have a hard time getting too far in paperbacks and hardcovers these days. I did start it, though, and am about a third of the way through.But here's the pretty cover again! :)
Mod
I know what you mean about reading on kindle vs. paper. I did have that problem too this year!
COMPLETED!Well I at least got one in so that counts :D I doubt I can read the second book I was going for by tomorrow but oh well! I'll try for two again next month.
by Ann Shen [read: 1/29/2018]It was an incredible collection though, and gave me so many wonderful women to read up on. The illustrations inside were just as gorgeous as the cover, highly recommend!
