But, what also cinched it for me is the Kelly Link cover blurb on the first one, heck yeah!

And while I do like a silhouette cover, "club" doesn't jibe with open, empty, branch-ringed space for me. So there's a battle betwixt the title and the cover there. The first cover has a gorgeous 20's-esque font AND that outfit is so 20's social flapper gal that I squee.Beth Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898921671895123053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2790614306320534072.post-11808292852555878852015-04-03T15:04:23.531-04:002015-04-03T15:04:23.531-04:00I'm with everyone else on this: the first cove...I'm with everyone else on this: the first cover, definitely!
