Long post alert: it was too good not to reblog.
Ah yes, my second least favourite kind of book cover—the first is ‘guys who lost their shirts’.
Stock photo book covers need to go away and never come back.
We as a writing society need to bring back Girl Gangs Doing Shit Together in book series. The late 80s/early 90s was BOSS at that shit.

Buying a book is not about obtaining a possession, but about securing a portal.
Laura Miller; The Magician’s Book: A Skeptic’s Adventures in Narnia (via wordpainting)

Look around you, Lessa of Pern, look around the Weyr with unveiled eyes. Old and hallowed is the Weyr? Yes, but shabby and worn – and disregarded. Yes, you were elated to sit in the Weyrwoman’s great chair at the Council Table, but the padding is thin and the fabric dusty. Humbled to think your hands rest where Moreta’s and Torene’s had rested? Well, the stone is ingrained with dirt and needs a good scrubbing. And your rump may rest where theirs did – but that’s not where you have your brains.
