Do you judge a book by its cover? I'm thinking of changing the cover of our already-published book!!! 😮
Tell me which cover you would click on: the new one in sunny yellow or the existing cover in sandy beige?
The yellow reflects @TeresaHeartchild's love of life -- and the urgency of getting her freed. It should attract the eye for Amazon clicks.
But the beige may be some book-lover's sophisticated fave. 🤔 What do you think? @bookstodon @bookgaga

Franke James' book cover in sandy beige for "Freeing Teresa: A True Story about Fighting Ableism." The book is sitting on a striped, multi-hued couch.

I prefer the beige cover. Less aggressive cover color and more pleasing typeface. To me.

If someone, who isn’t an avid reader says, “This is one of the best books I’ve ever read…” (assuming they aren’t talking about something they read when they were 5)

Do you think:

Wow, this must be a phenomenal book, I must find it immediately.

OR

This is probably trash or close to it & if I see it, steer clear. @bookstodon

Do we ask if they're an "avid reader" first, or what?

You know the drill, @bookstodon Whatcha reading this weekend? ❤📚👀

I finished WE ARE THE CRISIS, the excellent second installment of Cadwell Turnbull's Convergence Saga. NO GODS, NO MONSTERS was the first book.

I'm currently reading Ed Park's bizarro SAME BED DIFFERENT DREAMS.

Next up: THE FUTURE, by Naomi Alderman, author of THE POWER.

A couple weeks ago, I ran across my trade paperback of WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE in a box while looking for something else. Carver's short-short stories are my favorites.

In the US, an adult male who expresses his complete ignorance of and disinterest in football risks derision, suspicion and maybe worse.

I've learned to keep my mouth shut.

There's only two things that money can't buy! True love, and home-grown tomatoes.

I *say I wish I could grow my own, but I've got better things to do, and I support local farmers by buying them. Such a good crop. I posted last week, my tomato dealer says he'll have a supply till at least Halloween, if the planet doesn't burn to a crisp or hurtle into space before then. I don't eat them out of season. Not even in salads.

@JkwalkerAuthor is with me on that, and a lot of others, too.

📷 A few things I remember about this portrait.

• He hosted a house party at his apartment in the Tenderloin, and this is the morning after, in his kitchen.

• "Fear of a Black Planet" and I met the night before. He was all about Public Enemy.

• It was the summer of 1990 and we met at Brainwash through a group of Aussie friends odd-jobbing across the US.

• I was nervous.

The kids of the most well-connected will continue to receive preferred admittance on an ad-hoc basis. As a *policy, legacy admissions may be over at some schools. but in practice—diamonds to donuts—they ain't.
