Bookish Questions – What do You Read to Relax?
What do you read to relax? I normally read Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys as a relaxing read before bed, but I’m running out of books I haven’t read for a while. And with a brand new baby in the house, I am exhausted. But that doesn’t mean that I’m getting much sleep. So, I’m…

What book has your favorite cover art? For me, the cover art of a book is a big deal, especially if it’s a book I love. I think it’s the artist in me. I want to have a beautiful copy of my book that I can display, and that really conveys the atmosphere of the…
