I'm a reader....I always have a book going and I am currently in my romance novel genre phase, so all of my books are roughly the same size and, I admit, have similar titles. So I can never remember the name of the book I am currently reading.

Also, I am not a fan of a lot of the cover art....I know, I know, it is a debateable topic, and reasonable people can disagree, but I am firmly in the camp that feels uncomfortable reading a book in public with a picture on the cover of two people straining to get out their clothes. (Or more accurately, get each other out of THEIR clothes.....)

Solution? A simple book cover.......one that just fits, does not have closures or handles....just protects the book, covers the artwork and makes it easy to see which is the love story du jour. When I say "Where's my book?" my DH just looks for the one in orange.

oh, and a little quilting, if you please............... :)

My new cover I made this week-end

quiltgrammyt2 03-22-2011 05:18 PM

Great idea!! I sometimes have the same problem :roll:

Very nice. I have found the the simple book cover art usually has the racer dialogue. Just my observation.:) Love your book cover:)

Really nice! Since my sister gave me a Kindle as a gift I haven't had to worry about the "cover" in public, but I do occasionally re-read a print book that I own now and then, so this is a great idea.

NICE !!!

Mariposa 03-22-2011 07:42 PM

Nicely done!

This is great. Thanks for sharing. I agree some covers are a little much and do draw attention.

great idea and nice job

Up North 03-23-2011 12:46 PM

What a great idea! I too read some of the romance ones that have covers like that!!

Stitchnripper 03-23-2011 01:03 PM

Really very nice. Good idea!

Annaquilts 03-23-2011 01:04 PM

LOL Great tip!

intoquilting 03-23-2011 01:06 PM

Good idea. Besides everyone doesn't need to know what you are reading.

Melrose R 03-23-2011 01:06 PM

Your "reasoning" for a book cover is spot on! Thanks for the laugh! And great job!

Monika 03-23-2011 07:12 PM

Thanks all! it was fun....and the one I replaced....ick!!! I had worn it to a frazzle. A friend bought it for me in PA Amish country and brought it back to CA. That is when I learned to LOVE having a cover for those reasons. LOL

frarose 03-23-2011 07:14 PM

Great idea Monika. I like!

Tootsie 03-23-2011 07:14 PM

Great idea! Colorful and discreet at the same time. Now that's hard to beat :-)

quilt-fanatic 03-24-2011 01:07 AM

Can't judge a book by its cover..... I like mysteries.

Clever idea and keeps down the hunting stress (smile). Nice cover and problem solution. Thank you for sharing.
