Book porn is a thing. While not as wide-spread as food porn, among the camera-wielding, photo-oggling bibliophiles, book porn is a rising trend (I made that up. I don’t have stats to back up this claim but I stand by it anyway.)
Book Cover Culture #3: Delirium Trilogy
Popular books tend to have a multitude of different book covers not only in various languages but also for the English versions alone. The Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver is no exception.

For some reason mail delivery times have been severely delayed over the past few months, which has also been affecting my book orders. Whenever I open my mailbox nowadays, the first question on my mind is, “Where’s my book mail?” I won’t peg that on impatience either. I’m totally down with waiting a week. Two weeks are bearable. Three weeks are not cool. Four weeks are excruciating.
Book Cover Culture #2: Dream a Little Dream
Oh the contrast between the German and the English covers! Written by Kerstin Gier, this book was originally published in German under the title Silber: Das erste Buch der Träume (Literally translated, Silver: The first book of dreams). It will be published in English as Dream a Little Dream on 6. January 2015.
