I know 9 and I think I know 10 (although my cover is different!), 13 adn 15 look familiar, but I don't know for sure. This is worse than the authors heads!!!! _________________ Katey

No1 really had me foxed. I loved the cover and thought it was my type of book but didn’t know what it was. So I had to do some research only to find I already had the book but mine has a different, boring cover. No2 - There had to be a Terry Prattchett! I have most of the rest but some are different covers.

I think I spend more time looking at books than reading them. I often just sit browsing through Amazon or publishers sites, books about books and book magazines so I am quite familiar with book covers. Paul asked me the other night if I ever got fed up with looking at books! I should spend more time reading the books I buy.

I'm the same as you Blueflower!! Every week when I go food shopping, I HAVE to look at all the books even though I don't buy any as I have enough books to be going on with. I love looking at book covers!!
Actually, tell a lie, I bought The Historian in Asda yesterday. _________________ Reading: Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow by Peter Hoeg
