Ashe Library Winter Reading Challenge discussion

Lately I have noticed an abundance of book covers with only the lower or upper half of the body showing. So I figured I would exploit that for this task.

Read 2 books- Book 1 AND Book 2

Book 1 Read a book with a hand(s) on the cover. Other body parts may be shown, but not feet or complete lower bodies. The hand(s) may be in gloves, mittens, etc.

Book 2: Read a book with a foot/feet on the cover. Other body parts may be shown, but not hands. The foot/feet may be in shoes, socks, etc.

Required: Please include a link to both of the covers when you post.

For hands I read C. E. Murphy's Urban Shaman. Though I generally enjoy urban fantasy this book failed to really grab my attention. It tended to drag, most likely because this book is setting up for a long running series. 410pgs



For feet I read Perfect You by Elizabeth Scott. It was a light easy read. While it isn't particularly memorable it was still a cute story. 282 pgs

feet The Paris Wife by Paula McLain I really enjoyed this piece of historical fiction. If you love Hemingway, you will enjoy this read. It seems fairly true to fact and seems to accurately portray the early days in Paris as Hemingway struggles to make himself known in literary circles.

I read Bluegrass State of Mind by Kathleen Brooks for the hands portion of this challenge. Set in Kentucky and derby, this is a mystery/ romance. I was left disappointed by the ending as this book is apparently followed by a sequel that brings the story to a truly satisfying conclusion.
