The new CD by Hole entitled Nobody's Daughter. I realize that this is not a book, but I had to share it because of the artwork used on the cover and the CD insert.
Notice how the heads in both images are cropped off at the neck. A symbolism of how both women were executed. Clever!

Cover--Marie Antoinette Here is the image from the CD insert, The Execution of Lady Jane Grey.  Bought:  As I was purchasing school supplies for the boys at Walmart, I came across this journal with my number one favorite band, Aerosmith!

Great mailbox! I've looked at Q before but never got it, if you end up liking it I may have to get ahold of it.
ReplyDeleteSorry about last night but I lost track of time getting my house ready for my mom coming today. I should be there next week though.
The Hole cover is brilliant!
ReplyDeletegads, i haven't listened to hole in a hundred years--since college in the 90s at least!

I am glad I saw your post. It made me think that it must be about time for a new Kate Atkinson, so I went out to her website and found out that she has a new book out next week! I am now at the top of the library list so I should hopefully get it soon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books! By Fire By Water is on my list to be read too.
