It's Friday linkup time! I'm linking up with the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer, Book Beginnings of Fridays hosted by Rose City Reader, and the Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice
This Week's Book Blogger Hop Question:
When you feature a book in your posts, do you include a book cover?
My Answer:
Yes, always. I know covers draw me in and make me give a book a second look so I figured that can't just be me! The only exception will be in a list and then I typically only feature 2 or 3 covers of a list of 10 or so.
The Beginning:
Thelma Mae Earnshaw peeped through the lacy curtains that adorned the side window of La Belle Epoque, her quaint(ish) inn and tearoom. She was trying to figure out what had her archenemy and business competitor, Rose Freemont, in such a fuss.
My Thoughts:
Well I'm curious too! I also want to know why Rose is her archenemy.
The 56:
"You finally did it," Francis said lifting his face and glaring at the senior owner of Belle Epoque. "You finally killed someone with your awful food!"
My Thoughts:
Well this makes me want scones a little less but I do want to know what's going on. I have a feeling that it's not just a simple case of food poisoning.
So what do you think? Keep reading? Do you like seeing covers in book related posts?
Sometimes it's fun to curl up with a book that's not too heavy on the mystery, because I've been going really hard core with my suspense novels lately. I love checking out really unusual teapots and cups, too. Sometimes I pay more attention to covers than I should and get some iffy books. Other times, I've done that and missed out on some great stories. Either way, we still like pictures. (lol) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI like the name of this book and the cover is great! I love a cozy!
ReplyDeleteCover appeal is important to me. Hope your current choice was worth the wait--it sounds like a book I'd enjoy too.
ReplyDeleteHaha! That Page 56 quote is hilarious! And I love the whole setting for this. My love for tea and teapots is real. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover, which grabs me and pulls me into that room. I love inns and cozy places to enjoy tea and scones. And a mystery is always good, too. Thanks for sharing...and here's mine: “THE WIDOWER’S WIFE”

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteI can see why it might put you off scones. The cover is delightful.
ReplyDeleteI always like to feature a books cover too because I love covers so much!! Enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun, especially since it takes place in a tearoom! I love cozy mysteries, too, and this sounds like a good one to add to my TBR collection.
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features Still Alice.
I enjoy a good cozy too. I'm not a tea drinker though. This week I am featuring One Fell Sweep by Ilona Andrews. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun cozy! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love a good cozy. They always have such fun titles and covers. And quirky names for their characters.

This sounds like a good one, I need to look up this series. :) You know I like a good cozy. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I always like to see a cover. It does affect my interest in a book. Mysteries aren't really a genre I read much, but I do hope you'll enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteCovers are so important! That's what draws me to a post for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is year of the cozies for me. Added this one and as I love tea...going to a tearoom tomorrow w/the dames.
ReplyDeleteYeah I like to include covers too. And looks like a good book. i like that 56 line!
ReplyDeleteKeep reading! It sounds great! There are only rare occasions I don't feature a book, like a top ten list when I don't have enough time.
ReplyDeleteOh yes....I LOVE books covers and choose books based on covers. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Happy Hopping!!

I love that cover! Here is the link to my Friday 56: https://coffeeandcatsblog.wordpress.com/2017/04/14/friday-56-30/
ReplyDeleteCovers tend to draw me in too--although they definitely aren't the only reason I will read a book. Just maybe why I pick it up in the first place. :-)
