30 days of books: Days 18, 19 and 20

I got behind again.

Day 18 – Favorite beginning scene in a book

Definitely Stephen King’s The Gunslinger.

“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.”

Day 19 – Favorite book cover (bonus points for posting an image!)

The recent US releases of Mark Chadbourn’s Age of Misrule trilogy, all have gorgeous covers.  I have to confess that these covers alone convinced me that I needed to read the books, even before I knew anything about them.

I’m also a massive fan of John Jude Palencar’s covers, especially all of Charles de Lint’s books with his covers.

Day 20 – Favorite kiss

The first kiss between Phedre and Joscelin in Kushiel’s Dart.  What can I say, the whole scene is amazing.  As is the rest of their relationship.
