Reply to What was your least favorite style of book covers? by NotWhoYouThnkItIs

I’ve always been drawn to more dynamic covers with semi-realistic portrayals painted- no photos. Examples I can think of are the Percy Jackson book covers, Ella Enchanted, Mistborn, The Locked Tomb Series, etc.

Those are among some of my favorite covers that drew me in because of the art, and while there have been plenty of books I was interested in too because of more abstract covers, the style I referenced above continues to impress me the most.

As for least favorite, I agree with movie image covers. Hate them lol

Reply to What would you say is the ideal age to read The Phantom Tollbooth? by Chickens1

I read it in 3rd grade (about 8 years old?) and ADORED it and if there were concepts I didn’t understand, it taught them to me.

Reply to Little details that break immersion: worth it to continue the book? (Sun Down Motel) by MllePerso

I know every small town I’ve been to in my state have several used bookstores. I think this isn’t really immersion breaking, they’ve just had a different small town experience than you have
