a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

  Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you? Are you excited for the weekend? Today I'm back with another book review.   Elephant Moon  by John Sweeney is a novel that immediately drew me in with its cover. They say you can't judge a book by its cover and while that is definitely true, there is nothing wrong with enjoying the aesthetics of a well designed cover. While the cover itself was certainly inviting (who doesn't like elephants?), what made me buy this book on the spot was the summary- a tale of mixed race orphans fleeing from war horrors on backs of Burmese elephants. Who wouldn't want to read about that? Plus, I'm trying to to read more from authors new to me.  John Sweeney is certainly a new author for me. All I know about him is that he is an investigative journalist and an author of 12 books (both fiction and non-fiction). This was my first novel by John Sweeney and while I didn't liked it as much as I hoped I will, I still enjoyed it. More
