We didn't know this when our own Covergirl singled out Justina Chen Headley's lovely book jacket for praise in an earlier post...but Justina doesn't just bestow us with books...the girl gives out money, too! Ok, that's kind of amazing. Hey, Brownie , where's your scholarship fund?
No, we're not talking about a glossy-mag model...nor a brand of not-so-hot drugstore cosmetics. We're talking about Bookburger's very own Covergirl, who unashamedly believes that every book SHOULD be judged by its cover. Each week, she'll be sharing her oh-so-shallow picks.
This week, Covergirl will be buying this book:
Total cuteness...Covergirl is a sucker for thought bubbles.
And she loves the groovy graphic trees.
It's Nothing But the Truth (and a few white lies) by Justina Chen Hedley. Nice jacket, JC--no lyin'!
Covergirl will NOT be buying this one:
This book is called Cirque Du Freak #11: Lord of the Shadows : Book 11 in the Saga of Darren Shan.
Eeeww...It should be called Cirque du Yuck #11: Lord of the Heinous Color Schemes and Cheesy Blurry Images.
Sorry, Darren dear. Better luck with #12!
See ya next week!
Skin-deeply yours,
Covergirl
