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. I know of five different English book covers for Delirium! Either way, I thought I’d take a look at this series since I intend to read it soon (it’s true, I haven’t read it yet).
Where’s My Book Mail?
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.
Fiction is Fiction: On Bookstore Shelving Systems
Over the past couple of weeks I noticed something whenever I stepped into the bookstores of a particular local chain. It seems they have abandoned the segregation between YA/teen fiction and general/adult fiction. The shelves still do exist but a lot of YA fiction has been shelved under general fiction. Have the bookstore shelving systems collapsed? Take a look at the following book covers. These were shelved together in one of the shelf sections.
Why I’m Thankful for my Local Library
Last week I had a conversation with my dad and I told him that if I choose to live somewhere else in future, there is one thing I’ll miss here: the local public library system. The collection of books in the catalogue is so extensive that most of the English books I want to read are available for loan. The reference section too is nothing to sneeze at, housing books that would cost me over a hundred dollars, were I to buy them.
