The sour part of taking part to cover reveal events is that I may have to wait a bit more until the book is out on the market to read what I am suggested it happens in the book through the cover. As this is one of the newest type of articles I introduced on my blog in the last two years, it also creates a special expectation about the book and, obviously, increases the amount of TBR for the time being.
The Secret Ingredient by Sue Heath is not expected in the bookstores - virtual and other - before the 15th of February next year. As the cover and the title too suggest, it is built around food and its life challenges - the main character, Kate Shaw, decided to return in the kitchen preparing pancakes and I know from my perfect failures what can happen while preparing a pancake - or two. The recipes she is creating or testing are further building up a sense of community and belonging, which is one of the wonders food can actually do in the everyday life.
The book may be about food and love for it, but I loved how the cover is actually trying to convene a visual message not necessarily bombarding the reader with images of sliced cakes on a plate or pots and pans. It attracts the eye, nevertheless, with the elegance of the lines and colours, especially the red and blue mixture.
Such an appearance can only make me curious about what to expect next and what characters and actions can be hidden in the pages of a book with such an inspired cover.
