Last month I did a thorough research on books with beautiful covers<\/a>. I selected those that were beautiful inside and out. It took some time for them to arrive but most are finally here. I took photos of some of the books<\/a> last week. Here are the photos of other books.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Bitter Orange<\/em> by Claire Fuller<\/h3>\n

Bitter Orange<\/em><\/a> is supposed to be really good. I heard only praise for it. Strangely enough, every time I try to read it I can’t follow the narration. I probably overdosed on sophisticated stories, and now I need to read something light first. In order not to spoil this book for myself I haven\u2019t read any descriptions. I can only share its photos with you.<\/p>\n

Those are tangerines on the photo. Oranges are still unripe and are sour if not bitter.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

(An update: you can now read my review of Bitter Orange<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n

2. Spinning Silver<\/em> by Naomi Novik<\/h3>\n

Spinning Silver<\/em><\/a> is a big step for me. It\u2019s meant to be my return to reading fantasy! The writing is so nice and intriguing, I\u2019m finding it hard to stick to my original plan, which is to read this book somewhere where there’s snow and a fireplace.<\/p>\n

So far this book is still near the sea, posing at sunrise.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The story is about a young woman who helps her family out of debt. That attracts the attention of various people and causes her some problems. I refrained from reading more of the blurb in order to escape spoilers. If you want to learn more, you’ll have to either google or wait till I read it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

That’s not some winter landscape but usual town bushes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3. Bone Gap<\/em> by Laura Ruby<\/h3>\n

Bone Gap<\/em><\/a> wasn\u2019t in my original order of the books with beautiful covers<\/a>. I was attracted to the cover first, obviously. When I saw \u201cmagical realism\u201d in the description, I knew I had to get this book.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so colourful and shiny! It\u2019s actually much prettier than in bookstore photos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even the back cover is pretty!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a summary of the description:<\/p>\n

\n

Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps\u2014gaps to trip you up, gaps to slide through so you can disappear forever. So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the people of Bone Gap weren\u2019t surprised. Finn knows Roza was kidnapped, ripped from the cornfields by a dangerous man whose face he cannot remember.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Intrigued yet? I am!<\/p>\n

(An update: I read the book. Here’s my review of Bone Gap<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n

I’ll be telling you more about all these books soon. I first need to finish the awesome short stories by Daphne du Maurier.<\/p>\n

Black and white suits her books.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s a spoiler about my review – I will be raving<\/strong> about the book!<\/p>\n

(An update: here are my reviews of The Birds<\/a><\/em>, and the short stories<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
