Currently Reading / Coco Chanel: The Legend and the Life

So, I totally judge a book by its cover. As a designer, can you really blame me? It has actually opened me up to books I wouldn't have known about before, so contrary to popular belief, judging a book by its cover ain't all that bad, folks.

Anyway, I stumbled upon this fascinating biography on Coco Chanel while looking for one of my yoga books for class. I'm not that far in, but what I have read I love! Over the last year or so, I'm really interested in biographies and non-fictional work and I've always wanted to learn more about Coco Chanel's glamorous life. And would you look at that cover? Simple and perfect - I can't resist a good fashion illustration.

What's on your reading list? Do you have a particular style you lean toward? I would love to know!

Saucy Book Covers

Oh, how I love book cover art. I know that books are changing 

so much these days because of technology, but I still think it 

would be my dream job to design paper books. Sigh.

Book Judging

Side note: I'm currently reading this book which I totes picked up just because I loved the cover.
It's acceptable. I do it lots and discover some really great reads this way.

Tell Me

I'm about to start reading My Korean Deli by Ben Ryder Howe. It just kind of ended up in my hands magically while at the library, and it seems like a really good read, so I'm excited. But I'm curious what you're reading right now, or if you have any recommendations for awesome reads? It could be anything: biographies, short stories, fiction, anything! I'm excited to hear your thoughts!
