Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share 10 book covers with unique typography this week. I thought this was an interesting topic. Very often the font on book covers is a very readable but boring sans serif font. I had fun looking for designs that broke the mold.

Top Ten Books of 2023!
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share our top ten books of 2023 this week. I got bogged down early on with a couple of long books that really did not catch my attention but I refused to give up on them. That put me in an odd sort of reading slump. I read a few standouts but […]
