I think so too, Jen.


message 9: by Bonnie (new)

Bonnie | 705 comments I plan to read Babel An Arcane History by R.F. Kuang but I'm picking up the book Monday so am not quite sure if it's silver or just gray. Also A Scone to Die For (Oxford Tearoom Mysteries #1) by H.Y. Hanna which I know is lavender.

Lindsey Gandhi (lindseygandhi) | 1228 comments Here are a couple for me:
One Day in December by Josie Silver Send For Me by Lauren Fox Our Place on the Island by Erika Montgomery

Rhonda | 177 comments I haven't found a silver book in my stash, but I did find lavender!
Enciende una Vela by Maeve Binchy
This isn't my cover, but I can't find my cover. Mine has a lavender house, lavender title and author name, and tons of lavender flowers. It's really very pretty. Wish I could share the picture! Let me know if it won't count since there isn't a picture available on GR.

I'm betting it's this one. I found it on a different site. If you can tell me which edition you're reading (year, format etc) I'll find the one you have that apparently doesn't have a picture and add it.

Yes!!! That's the one. It's published by Signet, Penguin Group. I don't really have much info. on it. I don't know if this will help.
Copyright 1982, 1983
It has an ISBN, but when I typed it into GR it did not have the correct book cover. 1-56865-528-2

Thank you so much for finding my cover!

I found the edition you're reading and added your cover.

Jackie | 1103 comments I do like that cover. Congrats on finding it for Rhonda.


message 16: by Jennifer, Moderator (new)

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) | 1812 comments Mod
:-). Thanks. It’s much better than the cover that was tacked on to that edition to begin with!

Jennifer (jhaltenburger) | 1812 comments Mod
Oh, Eileen, I envy you having an unread Savannah Reid! I have one Granny Reid left. I don't know if she's going to put out any more of either series although I'm watching and hoping.

The good news was Babel's cover was (or supposedly) silver as the top floor in that building was the Silver room. The bad news was it was way way too wordy for me. I loved the character storyline, but skimmed/skipped most of the language stuff.

I think the Hanna will be a less taxing read, Bonnie. I've read the first ten or so of that series.

I know, I love it! I read the first 2 in the series bc they are time travel books. Hoping this is just as good. Light, easy reads for hot weather.

Eileen | 353 comments Finished The War Girls by V.S. Alexander 5 stars

Joy D | 1289 comments Finished my silver cover for August:
Antarctica by Claire Keegan
Antarctica by Claire Keegan - 8/7/23 - 3* - My Review

I did read it quickly and enjoyed it- I'll go ahead and read book 2 now which I have in the same bundle. I found Gemma a little weak and immature for a business owner, but I can see they needed to show what a nasty man he was.

I finished One Day in December by Josie Silver - 4 stars.
I'm a sucker for a good love story. And this is a good love story! Definitely feeling some CoHo vibes with this one. Charming story that will tug at your heart strings one minute and make you laugh out loud the next.

Lindsey, thanks for the feedback on Send for Me -- it's on my TBR!
