    I'm a reader....I always have a book going and I am currently in my romance novel genre phase, so all of my books are roughly the same size and, I admit, have similar titles. So I can never remember the name of the book I am currently reading.

    Also, I am not a fan of a lot of the cover art....I know, I know, it is a debateable topic, and reasonable people can disagree, but I am firmly in the camp that feels uncomfortable reading a book in public with a picture on the cover of two people straining to get out their clothes. (Or more accurately, get each other out of THEIR clothes.....)

    Solution? A simple book cover.......one that just fits, does not have closures or handles....just protects the book, covers the artwork and makes it easy to see which is the love story du jour. When I say "Where's my book?" my DH just looks for the one in orange.

    oh, and a little quilting, if you please............... :)

    My new cover I made this week-end

    Very nice. I have found the the simple book cover art usually has the racer dialogue. Just my observation.:) Love your book cover:)

    Really nice! Since my sister gave me a Kindle as a gift I haven't had to worry about the "cover" in public, but I do occasionally re-read a print book that I own now and then, so this is a great idea.
