Sunday Post #460



Well this week I started rewatching Travelers- my recap posts should be up soon.  

Also this past week Jenni Elyse emailed me some amazing pulp covers. Seriously, these are better than any I've recently found. See for yourself.        



I'm reading one of my favorite recent novellas again to refamiliarize myself with the characters. 



      Song of the week

    I agree with Lark the pulp covers are hilarious.
    Also rereading books can be so nice to do, I always like rereading books I love.

    Oh, I needed that laugh! I finally made through Friday. Lots of children's books to catalogued..then a co-worker came in who couldn't taste nor smell anything. She even went to get a milk tea just nearby just to make sure. So she worked that day, but the next day the director told her she had to go to have a Covid test professionally done since maybe the ones she'd done at home just weren't right. While that was happening my boss had to leave early with a sore throat and cough. She said she needed ginger. Luckily, the co-worker is OK. I then found out from another co-worker that her daughter has COVID. Not sure about my boss. Oh..to feel doomed. Thankfully, a friend called and told me I should be reading Jane Harper. Have you read her? A British Australian author. P.s...thanks for your comments. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

      OK..so I went on a hunt for Joel Adams and came across a fan fic that some girl named Jess who wrote about Joel (the pop singer). Funny thing, when I first read it, I was getting a 50's vibe then of course, I had to go to YOU TUBE to find Joel Adams from 2015. Oh, WAKE UP CALL..I had forgot about him..hahahaa..and to think I thought I was on to something..NOT.

    What's with that supposed Sylvia Plath pulp novel? LOL. I didn't understand, until I googled the "title" and I found out it comes from a place where people post mock covers...but seriously...using her poetry for that? 👀

    Ha the pulp covers are fun. They remind me of the old Travis McGee covers although even more racy. They have a nice beach sort of flavor too.

    Oh my gosh Greg! Those covers are funny and rather raunchy I'd say. And the taglines...!! LOL!!

    Sorry I haven't been visiting much, it's been a crazy couple of weeks.

    Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will have a good week ahead.

    Those pulp book covers are so funny - I can't believe some of them were genuinely published though.

    Oh man, those pulp covers are amazing! I recently got some old Mary Westmacott/Agatha Christie novels and they have similar (albeit far less racy) covers. - Melinda @ A Web of Stories

    That first book is by Sylvia Plath?? As in Plath's The Bell Jar? Oh my goodness, that cover is so far removed from what she wrote that it's actually pretty funny. :)

    Love those covers! I can't imagine that I ever would have bought the books. I couldn't read them in public without making a paperbag cover for them. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    I agree with others - those covers are a hoot! I'm also on side with Deb Nance, Sylvia Plath?! A google search for the title gives the author as Joel Adams.

    My eyebrows climbed up into my hairline when I saw those book covers. They're fantastic! And Sylvia Plath? Wow! Okay, I see in other comments that the cover is kind of a spoof or something. I haven't read Sylvia Plath but that cover didn't fit what I know of her! :-)

    Enjoy your week!

    Pulp covers are just fantastic! I must admit the Sylvia Plath cover threw me for a minute and I had to reread it a few times to make sure I was reading it right! I hope you've had a good week!
