Sometimes a cover concept blazes into my internal vision while reading the book, and I know no other will do. Even after finding the best approach, I'll spend days trying to outdo it to make sure my first instinct was correct. 1/4

Cozy Up With These 22 Chilly Winter Reads

"With winter mostly upon us (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least), you may find yourself settling down beneath the blankets with a mug of something hot and a good book or three. Some prefer to escape in fantasies of deserts and warmth, but we’re doubling down this season with a list of wintry reads featuring frozen tundras, majestic ice castles, and at least one magical wardrobe"

@GeekSusie The book by #JoanDVinge?

EDIT: Given that Dulac died in 1953 it was probably for the #HansChristianAndersen tale.

Happy #ScienceFictionDay everyone! Yes it’s a real thing, look it up. It also happens to fall on the birthday of #IsaacAsimov , what a coincidence! Here’s a random foursome of some favorite #BookCovers from my #collection

Ich lese "Die Schneekönigin" von #JoanDVinge. Ein SciFi/Fantasy-Roman von 1980 mit der weiblichen Hauptfigur: Mond Dawntreader Summer.
Ich kam darauf weil es einen dramatisch- schönen Filk Song über das Buch gibt, von Anne Harlan Prather:

Die Geschichte handelt von einer Sybille, die jede Frage beantworten kann, weil sie den Zugang zu einem uralten Wissensspeicher bildet.
