I haven't read the book yet, but I really do like that cover better than the first one I saw.
ReplyDeleteHurrah! This was such an excellent book. I just finished it, and when I talked to people about it many of them said they disliked it. I feel vindicated. I do like that cover very much, but it seems that Tender Morsels has had excellent luck with covers overall. I haven't seen one that I didn't like.
ReplyDeleteEven more reason to READ Tender Morsels...
