Okay, I know - this is normally my Friday feature. Let's change it up a bit!What is it that I love about this? Honestly...I'm not sure.
Normally I'm a cute girl with cute hair and a cute dress on a cover sort of chick. Or eyes - give me some gorgeous eyes on a cover and I'm yours. Obviously this is neither of those, but there's something about the colors and the complexity of the artwork that does it for me. Maybe it's all the swirls. Yep, that could be it. I love swirls (probably why my tattoos are all swirled).
Leave a comment below with your thoughts and/or your favorite cover art/artist(s) for a chance to win a copy of A TRAIN THROUGH TIME by Bess McBride, cover by Tamra Westberry.
College teacher Ellie Standish thinks she's on a sleek modern train heading to a conference on women's studies in Seattle, but she awakens from a night's doze to find herself on a bizarre historical train full of late Victorian era reenactors who refuse to come out of character. When the leader of the group—one handsome, green-eyed Robert Chamberlain—finally convinces her the date is indeed 1901, a skeptical Ellie rejects any eccentric theories of time travel and presumes she is smack dab in the middle of a very interesting historical dream. She turns the directorial reins of her dream over to one smitten and willing Robert, only to realize that dreams cannot last forever. Someday, she must wake up to reality, though Ellie no longer has any idea what reality is. She only knows that Robert must play an important part in her future. But how can he...if he's only a figment of her imagination or worse yet...a man who belongs to an era long past?
She does such beautiful work, doesn't she?? It is a wonderful cover, and you know I buy books for their covers. Not ashamed to say..
ReplyDeleteI though this book would be boring,but reading the synopsis it proves me wrong.It goes to show don't judge a book by it's cover,seems to be very true.
ReplyDeleteHey, there! Thanks for posting this! Tamra aka Tara
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I'm entranced... Swirly, swirl, swirly. It's a very pretty design. Plus, it has my favorite flower on it. Cliché, I know, but I do love roses. And the mirror! I love mirrors because I love my reflection ;) (I'm totally kidding by the way)But I seriously love the old-fashioned train in the mirror. Overall, it's definitely a book that I wouldn't mind on display in my room. And the plot doesn't hurt either. Thanks for the post/ giveaway and Happy New Year!
