It is Mockingjay Release day!!! I drove over to my favorite Indie bookstore this morning Changing Hands to pick up my copy. If you have not read the Hunger Games and book two Catching Fire get out there and buy the boxed set. My dilemma is now finding the window to read the book in one sitting because the author Suzanne Collins leaves no way out at each chapter end. Damn her!! Check back for my thoughts on this final installment.
From the ongoing books I love series. We checked this fantastic book out of the library many times this summer. It is all about a boy named Rusty who goes camping with his family called Rusty’s Red Vacation. The illustrations are magically delicious. I also love that the entire book is printed in only two colors, red and black. The graphics are tight and wonky at the same time – I love that! Wonky is my way!
First let me say, next to my home/studio, I spend most of my time at either one of the two public libraries in my hood or my local book store. I love books, libraries and book stores so much and the short one does too. I am working on the smallest one, she just turned one so really it is just a matter of time. Since I spend so much time around books I have started to take a lot of pictures of some choice book cover designs and of some great kids books too. I thought I would kick off this picture frenzy with great book covers of some classics. Some photos are a little fuzzy – please keep in mind I have a babe on the hip and another one pulling on me to get to the Fancy Nancy section! A gal has gotta snap quickly.
