I'll pass on your comments about the photos to Kate, my 12-year old. She takes all my photos for me - I just pass her the book!

One of my favorite things to write about. I also notice you added my blog Much Ado About Something to your sidebar. I'm flattered. <BR/><BR/>I love your book photos that you include with each post. Book covers are wonderful things. And you photograph them very artistically too. <BR/><BR/>I see some authors here that I am not familiar with and perhaps need to explore. Thanks for your recommendations.<BR/><BR/>SaraSara at Come Away With Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07677354270954094291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910091443817192109.post-26099582300103005642008-11-17T11:10:00.000-08:002008-11-17T11:10:00.000-08:00She does look like Woolf!The cover thing happens m...She does look like Woolf!<BR/><BR/>The cover thing happens more often than you think (see f.e. http://kimbofo.typepad.com/readingmatters/2008/10/spot-the-difference-ii.html).<BR/><BR/>I can't find "my" Mrs Dalloway online, Oxford's latest edition has another editor and a painting of a much older woman (http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/displayProductDetails.do?sku=3635036).

She can certainly write. Lethe, I do think the woman on the cover looks a little like Virginia Woolf. Odd that the picture has been used on other books.
