Day 7: Post an image of a book cover you really enjoy from a work other than your own.

I think my favorite is Taste Like War: A Memoir by Grace Cho. Not only is the title itself intriguing, but the lettering is folded into the artwork which is a blend of natural foraging foods that are lightly splattered with blood. It's a perfect reflection of the book's contents while not giving anything away.

Okay @bookstodon I am finally posting potentially promising publications in the U.S. for September 5, 2023:

The Square of Sevens, Laura Shepherd-Robinson [Dickensian tale of an orphaned fortune teller, who finds that the path to truth is filled with twists and turns.]

The Spirit Bares its Teeth, Andrew Joseph White [Dickensian tale of a spiritual medium, who finds that the path to authenticity and self empowerment is torturous.]

Herc, Phoenicia Rogerson [Instead of centering Hercules, this feminist retelling of the Greek myth tells the stories of those around "Herc."]

Hush Harbor, Anise Vance [No justice, no peace means what it says.]

Phoebe's Diary, Phoebe Wahl [Illustrated story of adolescence. Honest and forthright.]

The Circumference of the World, Lavie Tidhar [Sly SciFi Pulpfic Puzzle.]

The September House, Carissa Orlando [That creepy house is going for cheap. What could go wrong?]

The Trespassers, Stephanie Black [How long can paranormal powers be kept secret?]

Mother-Daughter Murder Night, Nina Simon [Marketed as "Gilmore Girls, but with murder."]

Wednesday's Child: Stories, Yiyun Li [What jolts you out of the mundane, out of your ordinary life? From the author of The Book of Goose.]

Dayswork, Chris Bachelder, Jennifer Habel [Not for everyone, but if you like subtextual metaphors, this introspective novel is for you.]

Dearborn, Ghassan Zeineddine [The complex immigrant experience, told in stories.]

Until next week, Happy Reading!

@bookstodon Y'all like a time-loop novel with a fresh premise? I just read The Never-ending End of the World, by Ann Christy, and this novel does just that. Instead of being in a time-loop herself, the main character discovers that just about everyone else is stuck in their own little time loops. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Maybe you will too.
