Politics can definitely make you cynical sometimes, although I am not 100% sure how American politics work as here in the Netherlands politics work a bit differently.<br /><br />Those new covers for the classics look really nice!

There are some really cool covers in this post. It's amazing how artists are inspired and create them. Do you think they read the books at all or just go by a summary? I wonder if the author can pick who designs his cover?

I sat up until 4 am that night (mostly due anxiety attack that hit) hoping for that "I was just joking!" that I've been waiting for since the beginning of this election. Escapism is definitely the name of the game. <br /><br />Those book covers are gorgeous!!! I'm honestly loathing the idea of holidays right now, lol. I want the food, but I think I just want absolutely quiet so I can recharge for 2017. :P <br /><br />I hope you ave a lovely week this week Greg!
