I think I need to check out the seven books with happy endings. I love a happily ever after ending!

  Literary happy endings are totally under-appreciated.

That was sad news about Norman Bridwell. I can’t think of one person who didn’t love Clifford as a kid, and who doesn’t love him still.

Was very interested in the book cover article, being one of those who continually judges books by covers. Some amazing pieces in 2014!

  I know! I’ve no idea why it wasn’t all over the news. So sad.
  
  I am right there with you. I totally judge books by their covers. If the outside is not up to par, I have to (and do) wonder about whether or not the writing is acceptable, too.
