There are some exceptions to this though, like if someone recommends a book to me, if it’s a favorite author of mine, or I see a book getting a lot of hype then I’ll check those out. I am probably missing out on so many amazing books by doing this, but I am so guilty of it. I know there’s that saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”, but more times than not I will check out a book if the cover draws me in.
If a book cover jumps out at me, then I am usually more willing to read the book description to see if it would be something that I may like or be interested in. I would have to say yes on whether I am more willing to read a book because of the book cover. This week’s prompt is “does the cover of a book affect whether you are more willing to read it?” There will be a weekly prompt featuring a book related question. Check out their blog for all the weekly prompts. Each week the hop will start on a Friday and end the following Thursday. Poet Ruth Lehrer's young adult debut is a stunning, revelatory look at what defines and sustains "family." And, just as it does for Fishkill, meeting Duck-Duck Farina and her mother will leave readers forever changed.The Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. This fragile new beginning is threatened by the reappearance of Fishkill's unstable mother - and by unfathomable tragedy.
But Fishkill's fierce defenses falter once she meets eccentric optimist Duck-Duck Farina, and soon they, along with Duck-Duck's mother, Molly, form a tentative family, even as Fishkill struggles to understand her place in it. Carmel Fishkill becomes Fishkill Carmel, who deflects her tormenters with a strong left hook and conceals her secrets from teachers and social workers. At age thirteen-going-on-fifty, she begins to fight back. Fishkill Carmel fends for herself, with her fists if need be - until a thwarted lunch theft introduces her to strange, sunny Duck-Duck, and a chance for a new start.īorn in the backseat of a moving car, Carmel Fishkill was unceremoniously pushed into a world that refuses to offer her security, stability, love.
