Red seems to be a popular color these days!
Purples and Reds...Do you organize your books by some complicated color scheme? If you pulled back would it be like one of those images that's really made up of lots of smaller pictures?
Al Capone Does my Shirts is the first one... I always have a problem naming these - I think because I pay more attention to the cover than the spine.
Claret is the new pink. What a way to toast the New Year!
I'm going to speculate on your identity based on your bookshelf.
The eye is still watching...
What sort of speculation, Liesl?
Ooh, Jasper Dash and the Flame Pits of Delaware--what an awesome book!
Love the view!
Speculation over. You are so anonymous!
Still no nonfiction on your bookshelf? (granted, some titles I can't read, so I can't be absolutely sure there is none) -w
Publishers obviously know that we humans are programmed to notice red...it's something to do with blood, I think.
I think that means I'm saying that your bookshelf looks like an open wound. Sorry.
Simon: LOL!
Wendie: I count four nonfiction (five if you count Ounce Dice Trice)
In the Tall, Tall Grass by Fleming
All the World illustrated by Frazee
Flotsam illustrated by Wiesner (duhsville)
So that is three ...can't figure out the other
clues???
Barb
I Am the Mesenger by Markus Zusak
Princess Academy by Sharon Hale
There Are Cats in This Book Viviane Schwarz
The Wee Free Men by Terry Prachett
Oh! Second one in, Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins.
The first time I ever marked the release date of a book on my calendar. Rushed out to purchase it and completely devoured it the first day.
Can't wait for the last book of the series to come out!
At first glance:
Al Capone Does My Shirts
Catching Fire
The Thief Lord
Dovey Coe
Flotsam
The Wee Free Men
Briar Rose?? by Jane Yolen
The Messenger??? by Lois Lowry
Princess Academy
All the World
(hmmm, did EA edit any of these books?)
I see several of my favorites in there, including the Hilary McKay book - Forever Rose or Permanent Rose? - and Stitches, by David Small!
Banned complain !! Complaining only causes life and mind become more severe. Enjoy the rhythm of the problems faced. no problem no life, no matter did not learn, so enjoy it :)
