What is your first thought when you look at this book cover?
Murder at the Matinee by Jamie West stood out for me because of the vibrant colour and the way the title jumps off the page. I love a murder mystery, especially at this time of year. The fire lit, cosy throw, hot drink… Bliss!
For several reasons, I’ve chosen this beauty to talk about on today’s Judge a Book by its Cover. I visited London recently where I devoured the magnificence of Big Ben, so its image never fails to charm me. But of course, there’s much more to this book cover.
How often do you walk or run?
I haven’t run in years, and I don’t want to. It’s hard on the boobies and I really don’t have the stamina for it.
These days, I’ll only run if I’m being chased by a madman!
I walk my dog several times a week. 30 mins, 40 mins, it depends. Longer if it’s on the beach.
I also read in my copy of “Eat For Your Type” (blood type) that people with the blood group B, are not suited to strenuous exercise. Nothing too aerobically intense… it says. I could jog slowly and gently, but I don’t want to.
Walking is good for me and all the other Bs.
But I had guessed that already!
Thank you for reading. Have a nice day!
