Gina R ColliaBook post!... 'The Cloisters' by Katy Hays. I've already read this one, so I know how good it is. And why aren't all books made to look this lovely? Endpapers are so often overlooked these days.
jbhulehan@GinaRCollia @bookstodon I have this one on the library wait-list, but now that I've seen this, I kind of want to buy it!
@jbhulehan @bookstodon It's as good in real life as it looks in the photos... Not that I'm trying to add to the temptation or anything. 😂
TheNurseIsIn@GinaRCollia @jbhulehan @bookstodon the photos I've seen don't match this cover. I'd be afraid I would get one without all the lovely details.
@TheNurseIsIn @jbhulehan @bookstodon I just checked. Looks like the UK edition is very different to the US one. But this place ships the UK one all around the world (no sprayed edges, but the same cover and endpapers) - https://www.bookdepository.com/Cloisters-Katy-Hays/9781787636392?ref=grid-view&qid=1675003004031&sr=1-1
Jill Minor@GinaRCollia @TheNurseIsIn @jbhulehan @bookstodon UK book covers are always superior and I have no idea why.

@progressiveartist @jillrhudy @GinaRCollia @jbhulehan @bookstodon damn Bezos has his hand in everything.
@TheNurseIsIn @jillrhudy @GinaRCollia @jbhulehan @bookstodon And now he's starting his own pharmacy. SMFH
bookshop.org is a better choice if living in the U.S, and I think Spain, at the moment. They will be expanding to other countries. A portion of all proceeds is donated to the indie brick and mortar bookshop of your choice, whether the book you order comes from that particular shop or not.

I use bookshop-org. I nominated my local bookshop (there's only one) to get the money. 😊
@GinaRCollia @progressiveartist @jillrhudy @jbhulehan @bookstodon thanks for the info on bookshop.org.
