I've done that a couple of times. When I got the first of the Barsoom books, I went looking for the most lurid cover I could find. It just suited my mood at the time  |
Eeyup. It seems funny at the time. If you have a few seconds, take a look at the cover for Elfhome. Neither Tinker nor Impatience (the dragon -- at least I was assuming that it was supposed to be Impatience) look at all like the image of them I get from the books. Heck, Impatience isn't even the right colour.

Hmmm... I agree. I don't want to think about what my wife has on her Glo. Austen and Heyer I don't mind. From her descriptions, her newer "lovie-doves" as she refers to them should come with plain brown wrappers. I will admit to liking some of Jane Austen's books. On yet another hand, I also have "A Vindication of the Rights of Women" from around the same era.

I'll check that when I get the chance. I've moved a lot of books on and off in the last couple of weeks and haven't done a factory reset which I probably should have done after trying to trigger the disconnect issue.
