This week's WG is on book covers. I'm supposed to post close ups of book cover(s) and you're supposed to guess the title and author of the book.My rules -> I collect postcards and LOVE to receive and send snail mail, so I'm sending postcards to the first people to guess correctly!
If you guess only the author or the title, you'll receive one postcard. If you could guess both the author and title, then you'll receive two postcards. If you guessed correctly for more than one picture, you could choose between receiving postcards, or a copy of my latest zine, superfairyanimal #11 (while stock lasts :p). I know, sending books would be more impressive, but this way I get to send to more people.
Happy guessing! I think they are fairly easy to guess... probably...
[edit September 7th: no one guessed #1 and #7, so I've put up the answers below!)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
2.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

I'm pretty sure #4 is 84 Charing Cross Road -- or The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street?
Yup, it's 84 Charing Cross Road!
You get 1 postcard :D
Is #3 Madeleine L'engle's "Many Waters"?
I feel like I have #3 sitting on a bookshelf around here somewhere... Can't get it, though! I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
melanie - yes, it is! you get 2 postcards :D
ali - sorry, melanie already guessed correctly for #3.
Is #5 The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman?
*smiles*
Kim
kim - no, it's not. but i can see why one would think it is! :D
I am confident that #6 is the Yellow Fairy Book (Andrew Lang) It was one of my favorite bedtime books when I was little :)
joanne - you're right! i love Andrew Lang's fairy books; i only own the blue and yellow one at the moment, though. you win 2 postcards!
#2 is Pride and Prejudice! (I think). And I actually suck at quessing games >_<
Huda

5. The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden by Catherynne M. Valente
huda - you're right! 2 postcards for you, because you named the author to me in person.

Wow, I have no idea!
The postcards are gorgeous! I adore the fairy picture, and the Blythe one is so cute!
