The owl on the Horowitz book helps to create a feeling of menace.<br /><br />Wait until June? No way. My friend who said she got The Lantern Men immediately is perturbed these authors can't churn out a book a month. Not fair to wait until June.

Ha!) that I'm excited about this book. As to the cover, I'll pick the UK cover too. The US one looks too much like a farm setting. And I suspect I might be ordering this one from the UK just because it's out earlier there. ;-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-19161973024914513742020-08-31T07:05:24.873-07:002020-08-31T07:05:24.873-07:00I'd probably make a better choice of cover aft...I'd probably make a better choice of cover after reading the book.

So Ruth is back in Norfolk and Michelle is ill. The plot thickens! I can't wait until June to read this book. Impossible.
