After backlash and Russia targeting the Dershprom, the publisher Bloomsbury Books changed the cover of "Designing Russian Cinema" from the Derzhprom cover to this.

According to Nata Druhak, "The new cover depicts the shooting preparations of the film 'Ivan Grozny' in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The film was directed by Sergei Eisenstein, who was born in Riga, Latvia."

This is another example of institutions in the West facilitating Russian propaganda, that nations under the Soviet/Russian Imperial equates to being Russian.

Also, this is another example of propaganda not only existing in social media. It's in books.

He’s going to think she’s writing letters to Debling, isn’t he?

Before class the other day : studies near Russell square and bizarre clouds over London.

What do you mean I don’t need another copy of the same book?

Proving that articles written about ACOTAR or about SJM in general are NOT proof that a couple is endgame

Many fans saying that elriel is confirmed because some articles mention the possibility of the next book being theirs, or that "many fans suspect" and because these articles were thoroughly read and approved by Bloomsburry that means they are endgame.

Well, this is definitely proof that Bloomsburry does NOT read carefully before approving or even POSTING these articles, when they literally posted an article that belittles the readers of SJM and romantasy in general.

For them, the important thing is to generate clicks and convert them into numbers, they don't even care about the content that is written.

If that's not proof enough, here's a recently written article that cites Sarah as the author of the Elementals series.

Do you really think Bloomsburry would let such a grotesque error slide if they had actually read the article?

The conclusion we reached is: do not believe that something is confirmed through articles or speculation that does not come directly from official sources.

Forgetting about the ships for a moment, you know what I want in the next acotar books?

My man Koschei being a good villain and making everyone absolutely hysterical and miserable

GIVE ME A GOOD VILLAIN PLEASE

I think he has sooo much potential, this guy was first mentioned in ACOWAR with the fucking Bone Carver being scared of him, like 🤯

We know he keeps cursed women confined, that he has a black box that is very important to him, that he made a deal with Papa Archeron, that he still has influence across many territories even if he has been locked away for centuries (including the Night Court), that for some reason he turned Vassa into a firebird and that he pulled a big prank on Cassian and Azriel

I NEED HIM TO DO VILLAN THINGS AND SCARE EVERYONE !!

I know villains are not Sarah’s forte, but I have big hopes

I’m back with another vintage style cover redesign! This time for the wonderful book “Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow” a retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon by the very talented Jessica Day George. A lot of her younger aimed books have lovely illustrated covers but the more YA ones all have cover model ones and I thought they deserved an illustrated one as well (may do her Princess Trilogy next we’ll see)

Anyway here’s the cover done in a more market paperback style (hence why our heroine is waaay more glam then she actually is in the book xD) as I wanted to practice a more lineless feel.

With a logo-less, none faded version as well

(Click for better quality)

Are there any books you’d recommend on Jerry Brown?

Jim Newton's 2020 biography, Man of Tomorrow: The Relentless Life of Jerry Brown (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO) is excellent. I highly recommend it.

And Miriam Pawel, one of the best chroniclers of California's history and the state's most influential figures (her books on Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers movement are must reads), wrote a really good book a few years ago about the Brown political family: The Browns of California: The Family Dynasty that Transformed a State and Shaped a Nation (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO).

Even before Stanislaw Lem, E.M. Forster wrote in his 1909 novella “The Machine Stops” about iPads, email, and Zoom: one of the main characters, Vashti, speaks to her son Kuno, who lives on the other side of the world, via a glowing round plate she holds in her hand. After the conversation she catches up on the flood of electronic messages that have arrived in the meantime and then uses the plate to give a short lecture to a remote audience.

expected this to hurt more than it did but a solid read nevertheless

The two books I bought at Gay's The Word when I was in London! The Bassani one has been on my radar for a while, so I'm excited to finally have it!
