Good Book Covers
Gertie, the moderator of the Apocalypse Whenever group over on Goodreads, started a topic about the importance of good book covers a few days ago, which I’d missed seeing until this morning.

There’s something wonky with the indents (they’re WAY too indented). Good news! It turned out to be an easy fix. […]
Sometimes I forget what it feels like to be me. I get buried in some physical or … occasionally, emotional pain. Or a cold or illness that only time can heal no matter how much echinacea tea I drink. When like this, it’s as if I can only inch forward … get out of bed, […]
