Oh my goodness!!! If I were the chief editor at BBC and about 30 years younger I would be chewing somebody out, big time.
I didn’t spot it in your quote box, FanLi, but because that is BBC I went ahead and clicked on the hotlink and BAM!!! HIT me right off. And then didn’t even read the article.
What am I on about?
Sixth book, right? Then why do we see eight covers? And I wouldn’t believe that is simply eight images of the same book because the top four are all different looking.
Okay, maybe covers one and two from left to right are the same as numbers three and four, left to right. BUT then that would only be four books. If the bottom four where we see only the tops are of the same style as the top four.
Then again, I doubt most people pay attention to such details, do they? In fact, even my wife gets irritated at me for picking up such detail from all sorts of things/stuff/surroundings.
Well, except for that time I spotted that snake she was about to say hello to with her left foot.
I do appreciate learning something; I didn’t know there were so many different ways to indicate the being called a “fairy” as in when I checked GIL and saw the Wiki thingy entry for that. Well, I mean, different ways with the English language.
Actually, I am not so sure I knew fairies were versed on warfare, either. Not to speak of that sexual stuff.
Anyway, is it eight or four or six? That’s ‘six’ not ‘sex’.
EDIT: Okay, I see my error, but I still think showing eight is not proper. That sixth book is titled “A Court of …” so that is eight covers shown of the same book. I had not read the article.
BUT, if you are going to highlight, in text, six books, you should not be showing an image of eight covers. I think. It is clever cheating, to my mind.
Sort of like I’ve designed six different models of an automobile, but you take my picture showing eight in the background. Still feels like a kind of cheating.
Of course, she may end up writing two more to make eight in total, but no good hinting at that with that image. Just my warped view.
