Books and their covers

I have a passion for books and reading and own an ever growing library at home. I’m that shallow that I often judge a book by it’s cover.

So what are some of those “pretty” books?


Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner (book review 3/5)

Typical chick lit, nothing more, nothing less

On Beauty by Zadie Smith (book review 3/5)

One of the 1001 books you must read before you die, kept me entertained but wasn’t so exceptional.
